Holiday

Today was a holiday!  It was called "Spend the day with Dave and Deb Day."

Dave and Deb came over to the apartment, and we set out for the corner bakery about two blocks from here.  I was much dismayed to see that it was closed on Saturdays.  So we hailed a taxi and went downtown Frederiksberg to a really fabulous Danish bakery.  We ordered a whole bunch and then sat down on bar stools there and drank milk and pigged out on Danish pastries.  They are beyond delicious.

We decided to walk home, but then remembered that there was a Royal Copenhagen outlet nearby and went there.  Seen through Deb's eyes, all kinds of things took on new uses and meaning.  I must go back there with SK sometime.  She found some great things.

We hailed another cab (that is 3 cab rides in 2 days....and we had never been inside a cab here until yesterday) and went back to the apartment where SK was waiting for us.  He had served in the temple this morning.

We all headed over to Stroget...the walking street.  We wandered all over and had a hotdog at one of the street vendors.  The man in the hot dog wagon was loud and hilarious.  He kept yelling at us and scolding us for one thing or another.  It was all a part of the charm of overall experience.  We went into the Ecco store and I found a pair of walking shoes that will easily get me to the end of the mission.  It will be my second pair here....and the first pair is nearly falling apart.

We took a canal harbor tour...very interesting.  Then we walked to Nyhavn...I love that place.  We went to another amazing restaurant where we had several exotic dishes like nothing I had ever had before.

In the evening we walked along the canal to their hotel, and then SK and I got on a bus and came home.

What a wonderful wonderful day.

A beautiful restaurant serving authentic Danish food.
