Hi Ann,
You are right. That was real stupid. That is what I get for not
reading my e-mail. Time to go under my rock.

Hi all,

Hi Mike,
I guess all of these countries are not the panacia that we
thought. I was also very disgusted in our own country, Hawaii.
Most islands were okay, but I had quite a bit of trouble in
Maui.
Hmmmmm, I don't quite think you meant this message to come out
sounding the way it did. As it's written now, it appears as if
you
think Hawaii is a country. I realize you didn't mean this at
all, but
my synthe thinks you did. amazing what a comma will do to the
meaning
of a sentence.

Hello Mike,
I am very glad to see that you made yourself heard. Even in a
foreign
country I appreciate that you were verbal about it.

The GPS helped get us to Visuvio's restaurant in Copenhagen but
the front
door is where the access ended. It is rare for me to run into a
situation
where I am absolutely denied access to a restaurant because of
my Seeing
Eye dog. It is so frustrating and humiliating when it happens.
The two previous restaurants we went to in the last day objected
to the
dog but they didn't protest long. I know every angle in the
book and
Visuvio's wasn't budging. We argued in the doorway for 20
minutes or so. I
called a blind Danish guy in the local blindness organization
and he
explained that there isn't any specific legislation about dogs.
It is hard
to know how general descrimination law applies in Denmark. We
did pass one
other dog guide user on the street so it isn't the fact that
there are no
dogs here. Anyone know the actual law about dog guides in
Denmark?
I really hate backing down. I was prepared to stand in his
doorway the
whole evening but then there was the matter of our business
dinner to
consider so eventually we relented and used the GPS to see what
other
restaurants were nearby. Wouldn't you know we ended up at an
Australian
restaurant. I will definitely make good on filing a complaint
about
Visuvio's. I sure hope I don't run into too much more
discrimination on
this trip through 5 European countries. It isn't any fun.
