How Beautiful a Day Can Be When Touched By......Chocolate!

Does it seem to you that Saturdays roll around with great speed?  It makes my head spin!

The weather could not be more beautiful.  It is cool....just cool enough to wear a lightweight coat, and the skies are a marvelous shade of blue with clouds hurrying by overhead.  There was clear clean sunlight all day....aaah.

We took the bus to the temple.....or two buses.  I guess the holiday weekend has brought many people to the city.  Unlike Thursday, when it seemed no one was out, today there were crowds of people.  Have you seen the double-decker tour buses?  They are in nearly every major city.  There were many many of them out today...each packed with people bundled up and ready to see the sights.

Tivoli is pulling in the crowds again after its long winter sleep.  The flowers are blossoming and the rides are running.  Taxi cabs are everywhere in traffic, people with bicycles built with a passenger back seat for two are parked along the street outside Tivoli and Stroget.

At the temple, we saw several people we know.  Copenhagen is a large city, but the LDS population is relatively small, and we are becoming acquainted with more and more people.  So even a small session of 30 people will have someone in that we know.  There was another senior couple here for the weekend to be with some ward members going through the temple for the first time.

It is such a beautiful temple, and it is even more special to know and be known by people there.

A quick stop at the grocery store helped us prepare for Easter Sunday. (You'll be happy to know that most stores AND the post office were open today - right smack in the middle of the 5-day holiday weekend and doing a brisk business.  They have restored my faith in the Danish enterprise system! )

We then went to the center where Elder and Sister Thorne joined us for the first half of "Ben Hur." Later Elder and Sister Hansen joined us for dinner and the last half of the movie, A.K.A. "The Chariot Race."  I never tire of that movie.  It is certainly one of Hollywood's finest efforts at making a truly Christian movie.  I think it stands the test of time, and is still an excellent movie.

We had some of the leftover chocolate mousse cake.  (I am smiling as I type this)

It was a lovely end to a lovely day.
