Snapshots of Copenhagen

   Thanks to visitors, I have pictures to share to put an image to my stories! So here are some pictures, some with links to the posts I wrote about them, and some with links to outside sources for more info about the places/events (I should be getting paid for this!) Most of these pictures came from the Amys' visit, but show a lot of places I frequented throughout my stay. 
  Be prepared. This post is loaded. 
Kongens Have
(The King's garden)
One of our favorite places to chill, mentioned in these posts. A great place for relaxing, picnicking, or whateva! Some chose to play sports, we usually opted for a more lazy route.


The Botanical Garden
Where I went with Sune in February, the Amys in May, and the Padres in June. One of my favorite if not favorite place in Copenhagen.

Nyhavn
The postcard image of the city. 

The Lakes and Dronning Louises Bro 
(Queen Louise's Bridge)
talked about here, and in these posts. 
Another must-see in this town, where I went for many runs, walks, bike rides, celebrated New Year's, chilled on the hill on Easter Monday with Sune, took the Amys for Riccos and swinging... 
What I'd do for an apartment on these lakes! 




Dragør 
where Sune originally took me to show me his hometown, and I later took the Amys. 




 

The Streets of Copenhagen



I was glad to finally get some pictures with the man too. And candids are even better! :)








 I somehow forgot to mention this street festival that the Amys conveniently got to go to while visiting. People, music, DJs, drinking, bubbles, dancing, food, all over the place. 

The festivities started on Dronning Louises Bro and worked their way down through Nørrebro.  
You know... Just chillin in the windows. Didn't capture the people dancing in the windows on camera. 
Our little Distortion crew (Molly, Megan, and AAA)

So proud of our Danish buns we'd practiced so much for.

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Hej fra Danmark!

        So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful.           Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious.       ...

Sunday Times {Plus a Quarterly Review}

A weekly update has now begun! If not for anything but to keep more of journal for ourselves to recap and think about each week. So much happens so quick I don't want to forget all the fun details! This week was my first full week to work with all the crew at my new job. Lots of planning with caseloads and meetings, and such. Excited to get working with the kids more in the next weeks. Dylan started his clinical this week too for his last semester of grad school! Woohoo! He's been killin' it and so close to graduating.  Monday was Labor Day and was a very cozy rainy Oregon day. It's been quite toasty lately, so this actually felt good. So we had a long walk to Peninsula Park for some roses and then hung around the casa making bags and relaxin.  Back to work on Tuesday for a good day and a rocking Crossfit after. I made some chicken tzatziki, a new fav.  Wednesday night we tried a Burmese place nearby after another very hot bike ride.  Thursday we actually went to a c...
