Copenhagen… A home away from home.

This month we visited my family friends, the Bridge family, in Copenhagen for the weekend.  First we had to go through an intensive petition to convince John and Peter that there was value in our visit to Copenhagen, but after our letter of sorts it was final.  It was so nice to stay in an actual home and be with a family.  It was much colder than London had been, but I still got my classic ice cream cone.  We wore winter clothes, bought homemade jam in the countryside, drove to Sweden, snuggled up in bed to watch Forrest Gump, saw the Carl Bloch exhibit, visited Hamlet's castle and Karen Blixen's house, went to church, bought plenty of chocolate, marched beside the Queen's guards, and we all found a liking for Danish boys.  Karen also taught me the three phrases necessary for survival in Denmark and the only Danish I know… 1. Tak=thanks  2. Jeg Elsker Dem=I love you and 3. Kan du huske mig=Do you remember me?.. We covered all the basics while there.  It has been my favorite trip yet.    

THE GROUP = Al Smil, LaLa, Me, Laurel, and Magaroon

I became a mermaid….

Bear stole my heart.

Luckily the Iraq embassy was directly across their house… 

The ice cream was impeccable.   

Our favorite London-based band was in Copenhagen - the Ryan O'Reilly Band.

Suzannah was a sweetheart.
