Kobenhaven

The parks in Copenhagen are absolutely beautiful! Amazing the trees, flowers, lakes, everything, smack dab in the middle of this huge city. They are gorgeous. My one complaint, there is nowhere to simply grab a sandwich here. It's a little strange. Unless of course I wanted to try my luck at the many 7-11's around, which I didn't. Everything was sit down, I just wanted to grab something quick to take to the park. Oh well. So day one was a little overcast and I woke up exhausted, staring at my suitcase and the "cold" outside and thought...I don't want to play today. So, I walked around a little bit and called it an early night to attend to my book, which I had forgotten about while in Sweden. Today was sunny and warm enough to enjoy--no scarf, which was the best part. Like every other city so far, Copenhagen has some beautiful historic buildings, I didn't get to go to Tivoli Gardens, the amusement park, because it wasn't supposed to be open, although by the time I got home tonight, I realized they opened today--oh well, no roller coasters for me. I've enjoyed it and would definitely recommend a visit, although I'm sure the summer months are much more enjoyable. I'm so ready for some sun and beach time, I can't even tell you. Just to shed a layer of clothing, go on a hike and freaking break a sweat and not freeze...how exciting does that sound! :) So I fly to Crete tomorrow, where I will be "docked" for an entire week--complete with washing machine, kitchen, car, and even a dog! I'll be domesticated again and won't know what to do with myself!!! On that note, I'm not sure what the internet availability will be, or how often I will get to update; but, I'll take excellent notes from my adventures and post when I can. Just don't worry if it's a few days--I'm just baking on the beach.

Since I didn't update yesterday (April 10), happy belated birthday to Scott!

Side note, who knew that George Michael was still touring...he's playing in Sweden the end of April; damn, I should have postponed my trip! lol

George is probably touring men's restrooms in Sweden so you were not going to get in anyway...D-
