Danish delights

  I've heard it said once you have s Swedish friend you have a friend for life. We have found this to be true and are blessed with many Swedish friends. Last night we were welcomed by the jiebolts who we had the privledge of staying with last time we were here. We visited tivoli gardens which is a amusement park really and probably the only amusement park I've ever really liked. Like all of copppenhagen it's very clean with really beautiful gardens. The best part though of course was catching up with old friends. One of the boys picked up a beautiful Swedish bride since we have been here and she was absolutely adorable. Sidney who was just a teenager when we were here last even made the time to come and it was wonderful to hear him talk about how he made the truth his own. We couldn't help but reflect on how fortunate to be part of  a world wide family. We will see them again friday. 
   After settling into our hotel we were pretty hungry so we walked around the Nyvahan area and found a swanky little cafe. It was a small and simple little ,place candles lit on each table and classical music playing . We ordered coffee and a sandwich. Oh Europe how I love you! The coffee was the best I've ever had and the sand which! I'm not even a person who likes sandwiches that much but the bread was like nothing I've ever had. It was brown like chocolate warm soft and nutty but lightly crisp on the outside. A little salami pesto and artichoke. So simple so delicious! Alas we are here! 
   Denmark is beautiful. We are staying right near the canal which is flanked by colorful buildings and old pirate looking boats. The people are friendly and I can't stop looking at them to see the family resemblance. It was funny to hear our friends talk about the difference between the danish and Swedish. The Danes are known for saying it like it is and  being stubborn but friendly . Hmm sounds familiar. They are open minded and love vodka and beer. Sounds familiar also. 
   We ate dinner at a Lebanese kabob place. 5$ will get you the most tasty falafel sandwich. We stopped at a old bar from the 1700s. I wondered if my great grandparents stopped here for a drink. 
  Looking forward to biking around today.  Maybe visit a museum and a castle. Hopefully I'll remover how to add pictures soon.
