Hopeless Wanderer

Greyfriar Square

Rosenborg Castle

Nyhavn

Perfection :)

Today I had to go into the city to apply for my Danish residency permit. After finishing up at the government building, I decided to spend the afternoon walking around the city. It was so nice to explore by myself because I was more sensitive to everything that I saw and heard. I walked back over to Nyhavn (the harbor with all the colorful buildings) and then stumbled across a large farmer's market near my metro stop. There were two buildings filled with different kiosks. I stopped by a little bakery one and had a shot of espresso and three different bite-sized wienerbrød (Danishes). It was relaxing to just wander around without a destination, AND I'm happy to report that I did not get lost and found everything on my own!

Flødeboller

Last night, Jan and Lisbeth planned a little party at our house. Annie, Claire and both of their families came as well as some others. Lisbeth lit many candles and set out all kinds of snacks, treats and drinks. We all sat around the kitchen table talking, laughing and drinking for hours. It was very hyggelig! "Hyggelig" is a Danish word that means friendly, comfortable and cozy. Claire and Annie both tried flødeboller for the first time. Flødeboller is a chocolate dessert that has a fluffy marshmallow filling--so good! While Claire, Annie and I were unanimously in favor of flødeboller, we could have done without the Skipper Mix, which is extremely salty black licorice. It was quite nice to have everyone together for a cozy little night filled with good company and good conversation.
