biking to center of Copenhagen




Our swap family got us this bike to borrow while we're here. It's weird to ride because it's like steering a shopping cart. We biked the 4 miles to the center of Copenhagen which was like riding the freeway of bikes to town! It feels like everyone bikes - older people, kids, all sizes, women in heels and actually women are half the riders which is unlike Berkeley where the percentage of riders is more like 70% male riders.





This is where we toured the castle and saw the Crown jewels. The current royal family still uses the jewels for events. They just can't wear them out of Denmark.

Coke is also quite jet lagged here. He thinks the Red Hot Chile Peppers poster on the wall.

Coke and Camille love thier rooms


Camille is totally Jet Lagged here, but happy her room is full of princesses. Karen, the Danish girl who belongs to this room is also a princess lover.

A very long day


When leaving San Francisco TSA had to check check Marian's baggy pants for anything suspicious. Who knew TSA are pants profiling. World wide pants may have someting to say about that.
Once we got to Hampsterdam's Shipshold airport we were all wiped out.
But earlier we were all smiles.
This is the house we are staying in. It looks rather simple here, but it's really wonderful inside with great art, great taste, a wonderful back yard garden and it's own bicycle rack full of bikes that we can't wait to ride.
