I got to spend a lovely weekend with Marion this past weekend! She flew in from Brussels on Friday night and stayed through Monday afternoon. Our adventures on Saturday included window shopping, real shopping, lunch on the harbor, Canal Tour (as shown above) with my host sister Stine, and then all of us meeting up with Dan, who also studied at Lamoille when Marion did. We walked around Nyhavn, Strøget and to the Royal Palace, and I even made Marion experience Copenhagen the way you're supposed to: by bike! During our walk we found this fountain full of bubbles..so of course we had to play in it.
After sleeping in on Sunday, we made American Pancakes (with REAL Putnam Family Farm Maple Syrup) and biked to Fredericksberg, where the Carlsberg Brewery is. We took the self-guided tour, which ended with free samples of Carlsberg or Tuborg beer. Then we walked around the parks of Fredericksberg...but apparently we missed the beautiful gardens I meant to see! Good thing I'm going back this weekend with my host family, so I'll know my way around. (We're actually going to the zoo! Which is in the same area)
Our cooking adventures continued with quesadillas, homemade guacamole, salad, and French cake for dinner with my host family. So good! They'd never had quesadillas before, so that was exciting! In the morning us three girls made French toast, again with the real maple syrup.
The shopping continued on Monday, of course! Then Marion checked out a cool tower while I was in Danish class (I'd already missed one class that morning, so I thought I should go to at least one!) and then in the afternoon we explored the King's Garden and Rosenburg Palace (built by Christian IV, as a summer house for the royal family).
