Wednesday in Copenhagen





I'm playing catch-up because I was not able to get on Michael's computer Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. First I'll catch you up on what I did those 3 days and then I'll create another posting for what Michael and I did today :)




Here is the money that I am learning to use...Danish Kroner. Michael can do the exchange rate in his head. I can't :) I had to set it up on my cell phone to figure out how much I'm paying for a hotdog!


This is "Amelianborg Castle" where the queen is currently in residence (you can tell by the Danish flag flying over it, however, I didn't get that in my shot. I was fortunate enough to be there during the changing of the guards (men all decked out in bear skin hats!).


Changing of the guard at Amelianborg Castle was quite to site. It is a very "regal" process that takes over an hour and includes a military marching band! They change guards at noon.

This is the famous statue "The Little Mermaid" based on Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale. Hans was from the Copenhagen area. I thought Bradey would love this one (she's a big Ariel fan)

My usual mode of transportation is the subway (above) or the bus. When Michael is with me, we take taxis courtesy of IBM :)
