I looked and said, "I need it right now. I would like to catch the train to see my godchildren and my girlfriends very much and I have only a few days off. "She looked at me and asked if I had two photos? I said: "NO, but I can get something."

I took the pictures from my bag and found two which were bigger and told her to cut me out of them. She was fascinated or bewitched but took the scissors and holding the picture in one and the scissors in the other hand looked at me and asked once more: "Is it all right?"

I said: "O yes, I can take the rest of the photo." After ten minutes my visa was ready and I was on my way to Copenhagen but this time directly, not over America. I spent a few beautiful days there. I enjoyed my friends, their children, and the beautiful town Copenhagen. When I went home I sent a thank you letter and shoe-box of cookies to Carl karsten – the ship and specially to the captain.
