Roland did great and got a good mark on his defense. There was no doubt that he would, he is a wonderfully smart guy.
Friday evening it was time to celebrate with Roland along with Jason, Bryant and David who are all in the DTU/TTU program. David is your "stereotypical" Texan. He goes everywhere with his cowboy hat and boots and it was a lot of fun being in the city with him to see all the attention he got. It was all good attention too. He said it is easy to meet girls! I don't doubt it. I'd be interested in a cowboy too if I hadn't ever seen one before!
We met in the city and ate dinner at Riz Raz. It is a great Mediterranean food restaurant. We had been once before with Kelli and Mads. The food was just as good as it was the first time and we had just as much fun.
One of Jasons favorite spots in the city is a quaint little microbrewery called, Brew Pub . It was packed and hoppin'. I've had their beer before from a bottle from the store, but never from the actual place. It was delicious. There is even one beer called "Amarillo". We stood around a tiny table, talked and enjoyed ourselves. There was a cute little courtyard in the back that was all dug up for renovations, but I believe we will be making the trip back here in the summer to enjoy it.
As it was Roland's last night in Copenhagen he had to visit his favorite spot, Copenhagen Jazz House. None of us in the group had been there before besides Roland. There was an entry fee which was a little pricey, 90dkk (19 USD), but as far as entrance fees to places, it was actually pretty reasonable. So, I'm not sure why I'm complaining! Hmmm??? The atmosphere was amazing and the music was incredible. The only down side was that we couldn't talk during the performance. I mean I guess we could have, it was a bar, but no one else was so I think we probably would be been hushed. I guess thats the difference between me, just enjoying jazz music and those who LOVE jazz music. :)
Here is a little clip of some of the music.
Saturday was an exciting day! If you're a long time reader you know that one of our favorite ways to spend our weekends is going to the forest. Saturday, we got to start that up again! The weather was nice enough, the sun was out so we put on our hiking boots and went on our merry way. We took different route than we had before and along the way we came to "Garderhøj Fortet". (A Fort) It reminded us so much of the "Lyngby Fortet" we visited in the fall, but less grown over with bush.

It sounds like a perfect evening you had on Friday!! It's been a while since I went out like that.
Like I showed you places on my blog from the States that you didn't know about, you are showing me many places that I didn't know existed here in Denmark!
When I was a child it was a big deal to go to Copenhagen because we had to sail from Fyn to Sjælland. It took a lot of time and cost quite a bit so my mom took me there only a couple of times where we saw the most famous sites. Then when the bridge was built, I think it opened in 1998, Nis and I went there often but then it was to visit his family and friends so we have never been sightseing.
But you are showing me that, even though the area is so small, I still have a lot to experience over there. Thank you for that!
