Copenhagen

 The Little Mermaid is the most famous symbol of Copenhagen.  She sits on her little rock and enjoys being photographed all day long.






Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was one of the first stops on our recent Baltic cruise. The city is clean, green, and environmentally friendly.  Thirty six percent of its folks ride their bikes to work.  Copenhagen is known all over the world for having an excellent quality of life.

We chose to take a ride down the canal.  Built on two islands, water is everywhere.

Our tour guide, a very young man, did his presentation in three, unaccented languages.

 The architecture is a combination of old and new.
















One of the things traveling does for me is to help remind me that there are wonderful countries with lovely cities, and most important, interesting people, all over the world.



Dave and I loved seeing the elaborate sandcastles on the beach.
