Hilton Copenhagen Airport Tarnby

... giving the city a unity lacking in many where the old and new are combined haphazardly. Some of the city is built on landfilled marshes (much dating back centuries) and is interlaced with waterways. (As was St. Petersburg.) This allows for waterfront esplanades that encourage strolling and sidewalk cafes. The city's squares and esplanades (and some of the streets) are paved with Belgian block which while ...

... one. Makes for a great conversation. "Ya, so I went for a run in Denmark today when I came upon the Little Mermaid." I have learned that in European countries that there isn't as much of a pecking order as in America. People here are really just trying to survive and anyway to bring home income is honorable. I can see why American's are viewed as they are. We really do have it all. We are at sea today ...

... at an easy pace. In the late afternoon we gathered up in full Nighthawk form (black jackets and warmup pants, sports bags, other bags full of gifts, athletic tape and medical supplies).

Nor really sure of the significance of this 'monument', but it was exactly as that- a little mermaid on some rocks. I suppose we were spoiled by the beauty of Stockholm, because Copenhagen really didn't compare. Nonetheless, we trekked around looking for places of interest, but it is quite difficult because of ...

... and buildings anyways, the weather has been kinda dreary... its been raining almost the entire time i've been here, granted its been a light rain... but i gotta say, its not like its really dark clouds or super cold... so thats a plus! this is a nice city to just kinda walk around and sit in the square or in the park... didn't really need to go to museums or anything... it was a nice and relaxing 2 days here...

... water. Everything is surprisingly beautiful and unique. I do have a few things of advice for those planning on visiting the country though: 1. If you like to travel for food, Denmark probably should not be high on your list. Much of the food consists of open faced fish sandwiches and somewhat bland meat.
