Rain Rain Go Away....And Please Come Back Another Day

The weather report for the rest of the week is basically cold, windy and rainy.....not good for sightseeing!  But "When in Denmark, do as the Danes do."....isn't that the way it goes?  I have often heard people say that there is no bad weather in Denmark, only people who are improperly dressed. Layering is the order of the day.....and it had better include a layer of plastic or rainwear.

It drizzled most of the day, and the sun did not put in an appearance.  Even the lake path was mostly deserted except for a few intrepid travelers with umbrellas unfurled.  Housecleaning and laundry were crying for attention, so we worked at that and then ventured out.

Yes...Build-a-Bear is in Copenhagen!  And just as fun.  Little Eliza was quite enchanted with the snow tiger.

 

Meanwhile Grandpa pushed Rebekah around to help her sleep.

 

We saw a few sights here in Copenhagen...considering just walking along the streets a major sightseeing treat.  We also went to the train station to renew SK's and my bus passes.  We get them every three months.  It is a miniature version of Grand Central Station and is quite busy.  We all wandered around there for a short time and then took a short train ride....mostly so Lia and Peter could say they did....you know, check it off the list.  And it is kind of fun....the trains are clean, quiet and fast.

A visit to the toy store brought a sweet smile from Eliza.  A visit to the hot dog stand at the train station brought a smile to all of us.  An evening trip to a little shop which is reputed to be the best ice cream in all of Denmark if not Northern Europe brought even more smiles.

We didn't do as much as we might have done if the sun had been brightly beaming down upon us, but what we did was great.....and probably nice for the little girls.  They both got good naps today and the rest of us .... rested.  Ahhhhh.
