Scavenger Hunt

Loooooooong day today, but all in all pretty good. We did a scavenger hunt around Copenhagen which was a good (but cold) way of seeing the sights. I'm exhausted now and I need to relax before I go out in Hillerod with my friends from DIS and (hopefully!) some of the danes from our Folkehojskole, but here are some of the sights we saw!

This is the old stock exchange... its hard to see but its what A LOT of the stuff in Copenhagen looks like, dark brick copper roof and sandstone trim, apparently a combo stolen from the dutch but I think it looks very Eastern European. Not that I've ever been to Eastern Europe... but it looks different doesn't it?

If you want to give unhelpful directions in Copenhagen tell someone that they need to look for the square with the huge green statue of a guy riding a horse. I think we walked through about 6 of them today. I don't remember the name of this guy, but its cool nonetheless

This is the Nyhavn Canal in Copenhagen, it kind of reminds be of rainbow row in Charleston, its famous for its beautifully painted houses. I was also shocked to see how many old wooden boats were lining the docks. If you look at the water you can see that the water in the Canal in covered in ice. A LOT of the canals and waterways in Copenhagen are frozen right now and some so much so that you can walk on them!

my internet is going really slowly so that's all I can do for now, but I'll put up the other sites soon!
