Who was degrading it? I just can't imagine what would be of interest to them there. I think that it is a great thing that they've gone to visit, but I just can't imagine what their presence is going to accomplish there, or how much enjoyment they would get out of it.
Nevertheless, for some reason I thought that they were visiting there. Although they are visiting Nebraska, and I stand by my statment that I can't see a reason why they should. Colorado and Illinois are a totally different story.
In Denver, Frederik visited a wind turbine factory which is a partnership with Danish businesses. If he wanted to see those wind turbines in action, he could visit Nebraska. Wind turbines are the wave of the future - Denmark is flat, Nebraska is flat - might as well put that flatness to some good use - create energy with wind turbines.
There are several technology companies in Idaho and I do think that Denmark uses technology.
Frederik and Mary's presence anywhere opens up new avenues for networking with foreign business leaders and innovators for commerce and trade for Denmark.
I didn't know that every stop on a foreign tour had to provide total "enjoyment" for Frederik and Mary.
This was not a vacation trip, it is their job.
