1. Get a Guinness :)
2. Purchase everything we need for our Halloween costumes
3. Go to "Halloween in Tivoli"
The air was quite chilly and according to the weather, it was the coldest it has been in Copenhagen so far this season. I can, without a doubt, feel winter in the air.
The Guinness was great (Always is). We hit a new Irish Pub and I think this one will be our new favorite and regular place to get our Guinness fix. Not only was our Guinness poured correctly (Pour and let it sit for 2 minutes, and then fill it the rest of the way), but the bar tender made little shamrocks on the head of the beer. Way fun! It was a pretty cold day, but the sun was shining and we were able to sit outside comfortably.
We did get everything we needed for our costumes and I think they are going to look great. Unfortunately, I can't say what we are going to be here because some of the people coming over read this blog from time to time. So you'll just have to wait and see what we are. ;)
Tivoli was a lot of fun. This was, I believe, only the second year that Tivoli has re-opened for Halloween. We spend a couple hours there walking around, eating, and checking out all the cool Halloween shops they had set up. This was a nice change because most stores sell very little Halloween stuff. The toy stores don't even have more then a small section of stuff set up. Denmark is just now starting to embrace Halloween, but they have a LOOOOONG way to go to catch up to all its hype and glory that it holds in the states.
Check out the cool Pumpkin Roof

I think Tivoli bought all the pumpkins in Denmark
Michael and the Pumpkins
We got back home about 7:00pm and were exhuasted. Both of our heads hurt and we felt like we were coming down with something. I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that we were outside in colder then normal weather all day long. We crashed at 9:30 and got a good nights rest and felt all better this morning. :)

How fun to read about your excursion to Tivoli! We are glad that your Irish is coming through LOUD and CLEAR! (Who knew that you were supposed to pour the beer and let it sit?) A SHAMROCK on the head? Wow, what a bartender! We can hardly wait to see what you are going to be for Halloween! You both enjoy your lives like we all should. Have a great week! We love you both!
It sounds and looks like you had a great day! It must be nice to have an "årskort" to Tivoli!
wonder if Tivoli would ever consider having a THANKSGIVING THEME??? LOL... you would be amazed at the people who find out I am going that week to DK and say "Well, do they celebrate Thanksgiving over there..." oh lord, Jay Leno would love to get ahold of those comments!! LOL
Looks like a lot of fun! Now I am very curious as to your costumes!!!
