Since I last posted, I have been in Granada and have visited a lot of cool places in Copenhagen like micro breweries, the Carlsberg museum, the botanical gardens, the aquarium, etc. Spring is finally here but it took a long time to come. Everyone says it was a particularly harsh winter. I don't mind anymore now that we have sunlight until 9:30-10:00pm.
Below are a few pictures from some of the adventures of the last few weeks.
These are from the Alhambra in Granada. I am in love with Granada. It was a beautiful and magnificent city with this precious jewel in the middle. The history was amazing and the culture was warm and friendly (unlike in Copenhagen).
This is the brand new aquarium in Copenhagen. It is the largest aquarium in Europe and was designed by a Danish architecture firm 3XN. It was fun to go, it was very well designed.
I ventured to a beach in Amager (pronouced Ama). It was kind of a "recreational" beach. It was a cold day but mostly people were jogging, biking, dog walking, rather than sitting, relaxing. I guess on a hot day people probably go there to swim.
The windmills are kind of typical for a Danish beach. I like it though.
I climbed this church and you can see the beautiful city below. You can see most of the copper spires in from my first blogpost. They look amazing all grouped together from above like this.
This is me at the Carlsberg museum. I thought this car was really cool with the barrel as the cab. It was actually really cheap to go to the museum, 12 dollars, and you got two "free" beers with your ticket. It is especially cheap for Copenhagen where people buy black coffee that costs 5 dollars. Carlsberg is the 4th largest brewery in the world.
This is my train station in spring. I finally took photos because it was actually nice enough to take them.
This is rye bread. It is pretty much the Danish staple and I LOVE it. I love rye bread and I will miss it so much when I leave. I would make it but it's pretty labor intensive to finish. Check it out though because it's REALLY healthy and increadibly hardy and delicious!
