Then someone from Nu Skin met me at the main metro station in Copenhagen (I made it there via metro all on my own...so proud). He took me everywhere and I learned a lot about Danish history in the process (although he is Sweedish not Danish). After spending all day walking around Copenhagen I went to the mall over by my hotel to find some fun things to bring home....but there was nothing cool (I found a shirt with NYC on it...but nothing about Denmark or Copenhagen or ever Europe).
When I walked out of my hotel I saw this very frightening poster. It's a phone company and I have no idea why they would put that man on there without a shirt on.
One of my favorites things about Copenhagen was all the bikes. They were everywhere and people riding on every street I saw. It was so cool and made me want a cruiser with a basket to ride all around town.
The Little Mermaid.
This is one of the most famous sites in Copenhagen and apparently she was on vacation in China until very recently so I was lucky that I got to see her.

The Queens Palace.
I was actually here during the changing of the guard (but didn't take a picture)

Nyhavn.
I love the boats, canal and colorful houses on this street.

This was one of the main squares downtown -
and of course it had a huge McDonalds sign at the top.

Tivoli.
This is one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe (if not the oldest).

This church had statues of Christ and all 12 Apostles.

So cool. I love to travel and I even enjoy it when I'm on work or volunteer trainings and my family isn't, but I always wish they were there as I see the great sights.
Will you be home soon?
What a great trip. I'm happy you had the chance to see so much, and even happier that you are now home again.
I found you via Natalie of 3 Little Princesses. I love Copenhagen. I wish I could have made a suggestion on places you could go. My favorite place in Denmark is the Fredricksburg Castle. In it are over 23 original Carl Bloch paintings that the church has gotten permission to use. Loved all the places you visited - wish I could go again. But it was fun seeing all your pictures. Reminded me of the one time I went there. Ah vacations via proxy.
That is so so so COOL you were able to do that!! How fantastic for you!!!!
