Copenhagen

December 1
We spent all day traveling from Rome to Copenhagen with a layover in Riga, Latvia where there was snow on the ground. We flew Baltic air. The primary language was Russian. We took the train into town. Since we didn't know where the hotel was we were going to take a cab. The driver told us how to get there. It was about three blocks away. Things are very expensive here. We had dinner at a Thai restaurant for almost 300 Kroner, which is about $50 for Phad Thai and chicken with vegetables.

December 2
We woke up to snow on the ground. It was the first of the year. The hotel clerk said some years they don't have much and others they can have a lot. Seems a little like Seattle. Good thing we brought warm clothes and gloves.



There are dedicated bike lanes. People were even riding in the snow. This is outside the train station.




Christianborg Palace. They don't live here, but it is still used for official events.







Do you think we could pass for King and Queen?



Seats more than our table.

We'll be home tomorrow (December 3) evening.

  1. Grandma and my dad thought that you guys were getting home TODAY (December 2nd). My dad was really worried when you didn't call to be picked up at the lightrail. He saw that (what he thought was) your plane got in a bit late, but was worried hours later when he hadn't heard from you. He kept calling your cell and your house trying to see if you were home safely.
