Copenhagen


This week is efterÄrsferie (autumn holiday) in Denmark, which means no classes this week! My friend Michael and I spent two days in Copenhagen--first time visiting the city for him, and the first time for me since 2004. We stayed at a great hostel right downtown and spent two days walking around sightseeing. We visited Amalienborg and watched the changing of the guard, and walked up the RundetÄrn (Round Tower), which one climbs by the spiral, cobblestone ramp that winds up the interior. We explored the Botanical Gardens and walked around the waterfront, too. The weather was gorgeous clear blue sky, but it was freezing cold, so we tried to stay in the sunshine as much as possible.
