Did I miss the Noah's Ark?

Nu... Sitting in the office next to the Langelinie in the port of Copenhagen. I have been working on some product pages in InDesign all day long and my head is overloaded from English, German and Danish lighting terms.
Yesterday I watched the baptism of our little new princess on tv together with some friends. Her first name (she got four!) is now Isabella. Surprising for most of the Danes as well as the tv-journalists, who immediately began to interpretate the meaning of the name Isabella. The general opinion was, that it was a strong name, born by strong historical figures such as Isabella of Castille - the strong 16th century Spanish queen, who liberated the Iberian peninsula from the Moors.
Oy yo! That Spanish shikse kicked out our people... I only got down on a non-explocive leval, when one of the commentators told, that the Danish version of Isabella was Elisabeth which come from the Hebrew Elisheva.
Well, yesterday came with a nice break in the rain. We could even go to an outdoor café in the afternoon for a beer.
Today it has been raining again! I do not remember when we last had so much rain in a month. Though the Langeline quay is mostly used by the big cruse ships, I expect the Noah's ark to moor at the quay at any time and a parade of wild beast coming down the ladder...
