Copenhagen

We are finally settled in to Copenhagen, and reasonably well time adjusted.  We traveled with more baggage than we ever have (3 people for a year with a diverse variety of activities planned), but made it without incident.   We are staying in Ingrid's childhood friend Klements' house while his family is away, so we are comfortable and can eat at home when we want.


We have fresh pastries for breakfast each day, and Eli had his first Danish pølser (red hot dog).




We've spent the last two days exploring Copenhagen as tourists walking all over Nyhavn, Christianhavn, visiting palaces and museums and just walking about. A special treat at a museum cafe was rhubarb soda!  Who could resist?   Quite tasty -- pleasantly tart. 

The architecture and colors around Copenhagen are wonderful, and we've done more walking than we have in a long time.   We will visit some colleagues at GBIF and the University tomorrow, then to Tivoli on Saturday.

Most of our time in Denmark is vacation and visiting Ingrid's relatives and friends, with a little "cleanup" work (grants, revisions) for Greg the first few days and a couple University talks and meetings.   And lots of catching up on sleep.
