| Our brunch spot |
 |
| My introduction to Danish food. Love a buffet/smorgasbord. |

| In front of Nyhavn (the harbor) |

| Under a bridge on the canal tour |

| Many of the outdoor cafes included blankets in the seats. While I'm posing for this pic, these blankets definitely came in handy. |

| Dinner. Chicken sandwich, Danish style. |
A great start to my Danish experience came with our first meal: a brunch buffet at a really cool little restaurant in Vesterbro. I tried everything--I'm trying to be daring with my food choices while I'm here. My favorites were the croissants and this little sweet bread that looked like it had zucchini in it. The rest of the day was free, so we spent some time exploring the city. And the weather. Lots of rain. Off and on, then off, then on, then on with wind, then off, then sunny, then rain again--all in like half an hour and then it repeated. It didn't matter to the Danes one bit, they just kept doing their thing. I did get to see beautiful Nyhavn (the harbor), go on a canal tour, see the National Museum, and make some new friends. It turns out that a canal tour boat is an acceptable location for a nap--well, it may not be acceptable, but I definitely nodded off several times. Hello, jetlag! Wrapped up the day with dinner at a cafe on one of the pedestrian streets. I had a chicken sandwich (I know, how daring!), but it tasted really good and was distinctively "Danish." Most of the cafes put a blanket in the chairs at the outside tables for cool weather, and I took advantage. Looking forward to better weather later in the week.
