So, today was Adam's first day at work and my first day of needing to find something to do with myself. I can only take so much of watching TV in Danish, so after my morning nap, I decided to put my Nike+ to some good use and take a walk around the city (6 miles if I do say.)
The first thing I did was stalk the horses again. I figured out that the gate into to HUGE, MASSIVE, horse stable is open, but the doors into the stalls are closed. I decided to walk around there. I could hear them training the horses in the arena. I need to figure out how to make the horse master my best friend. I'm not sure that will work out, but I'm going to give it a try.
On Sunday, Adam and I went to a book store and I saw a beautifully colored book on Christiania. The Freetown within Copenhagen. The pictures were beautiful, and it mentioned something about horses being boarded within Christiana. I decided that I needed to go check out this "freetown." Well. What I found reminded me of the little shanties underneath I-5. I was offered pot 3 times during my quick walkabout the area. (I did reply in Danish, Nej. I'm getting better.) I'm not sure what that book was talking about. Maybe I stumbled into the "bad" section of it, because after I left the gates and walked further up, I saw a nicer looking section of the "town" but didn't want to try it again.
I'll just have to add that to my list of places NOT to take visitors. Other than that Copenhagen's nice, actually beautiful. The old buildings take my breath away. It's hard to imagine that some of them are over 500 years old.
It was a beautiful day today, and a tad too hot for my sweatshirt. It seems to rain a lot here, and I saw some pictures of Copenhagen in the winter with snow. I love snow!
Hope all is well back home (wherever that may be!)
