Our hotel is a renovated grainery which from the outside looks a great deal like a gray stone prison. It is fine inside, but rather forboding outside.
We went on a quick bus tour of Copenhagen this aft. So much to see in such a small amount of time. We saw the royal yacht, the statue of "the little mermaid", lots and lots of statues and really large imposing buildings. We went into a church, which seemed really wrong. Folks should not be going into a church snapping pic tures while people are sitting in pews waiting for a worship service to begin. (about 5 or so in the aft--Pentecost Sunday) Several folks stayed and took pictures, I left- having taken only one picture discretely from the back.

Supper tonite was on the waterfront- Nick had a yen for pasta, so he had something w/ shrimp and I had meat lasagna. Then we had ice cream from a little shop. The man behind the counter wanted to talk Danish politics (in English) He told us he makes the best ice cream in Denmark (it was good) but people wouldn't buy from him because he was not Danish. Then they sent their children to buy ice cream because his was so good. He would have talked for an hour. The previous customer in this hotel room had some time left on his internet purchase and we've been using it. It ran out just before I began this, so this is on our dime--uh-- Kroner.
Nick is going to download pictures from the last two days and then I will include some with this post. This may be the last one from Denmark--not sure, but I will finish it up after I get home. I have several things to talk about that I haven't mentioned. Like the fact that English is compulsory in Scandinavian schools- we're missing the boat here, folks.
So for now this is all. See ya' soon. E
