The Pictures that I Promised

Here are the pictures that wouldn't upload the other day. There are quite a few, so sorry that it is so long!

Lunch with Miles. Lots of open-faced sandwiches

Downtown Copenhagen. I think the buildings are incredible!

One of the canals, where people had thrown in whole loaves of bread for the birds. They couldn't even pick them up, because they were too heavy!

A canal near the National Museum

People watching on Saturday afternoon. This is the square that leads out of Stroget (pronounced just "stro") that is the pedestrian shopping street.

The Rosenberg castle gardens.

They had swans!

More gardens

Me in the gardens, looking at the little flowers that were coming up.

Miles and I walking (Kate took these pictures and has shared them with me!)

I loved the circular windows on this building. I thought they looked like bubbles!

You can't really see it, but there is a Danish rapper is performing in the background.

The public skating rink in downtown.

More skating rink

A picture of the incredible amount of bikes parked everywhere

They were everywhere!


So those are my pictures from Copenhagen. Enjoy. Oh, and wishing everyone a Happy Late Valentine's Day. I'll post again soon with pictures from my week back here in Paris...we got to go on a few tours of art and architecture in the city, so I have pictures from that.
Love and miss you all,
Liza

So fun to see your pics. I'm envious of your europe experience, especially your visit to my treasured scandinavia! I really loved your line about feeling "back home" when you returned to Paris. Its such a fun feeling when a place that once felt so foreign starts to feel comfortable. you must be getting so confident (you deserve to be!). miss you!

"wonderful, wonderful copenhagen" What a fun thing to do just jump on a plane to a new place, you are becoming the savy traveler. Can't wait to hear about your internship in more detail as you get into it. It was also fun to see signs of spring, green grass and flowers. Spring seems months away here in Minnesota. Hugs to you.

those pictures are magical! everything is so perfect :}
craziness with the bikes... did you have to watch out for them like they were cars? haha Is it like that in Paris too?

no, even though Paris has velib, the bike share program, bikes are no where near as popular here as in Denmark. Too bad. It's really funny to see everyone riding bikes in their work clothes. If only it would catch on in Minnesota!
