Copenhagen Adventure

Just a few short days after spring break, I was headed off to Copenhagen to visit one of my best friends.  Although I did not want to leave Florence’s 75 degree weather I was excited to explore Denmark.

I arrived Thursday night and cried when I saw Cara.  We stayed with her host family who lives outside the city.  It was so nice to have a home cooked meal and to be in an actually house!  On Friday we woke up and headed into the city where we headed to a pastry shop.  The Danish are know for their pastries and I was determined to have as many as I could.  My first was a cinnamon bun covered in chocolate.  TO DIE FOR.  I had three more throughout the day.

Copenhagen was a very cool city that was on the small side but still bigger than Florence.  It was very modern and the people there were gorgeous: tall, thin, and blonde.  I liked the nautical feel of the city too.  Bikes were everywhere and most people seemed to ride them…even if wearing heels!  Everyone was very nice but everything was very expensive.  One coffee might cost 8 dollars!

We spent the night in the city and headed out from brunch the next morning.  It was different than what you would expect to get in the US but still very good and very filling.  

We then decided to take a short day trip to Sweden.  Very similar to Copenhagen with a northern Europe feeling.  We found great ice cream and sat out enjoying the sun that I was told was very rare.  

Cara and I headed back to her host family where I enjoyed another delicious home cooked meal complete with roasted potatoes, meat, and green beans.  On Sunday I headed back to Florence and looked forward to seeing Cara in only two short weeks!
