T&W Party and CPH

Sunday was another holiday in Denmark. Our Gym Friend Matt invited all four of us over to his house for a traditional Danish lunch. We knew this would be something really cool for T&W to get to do. Some of our favorite memories on trips are being invited into the locals home's for traditional meals. As I mentioned before, Matt is a gym friend. We started talking one day and realized we were all Americans. He is from California but has lived in Denmark about 24 years with his Danish wife and kiddos. We all had a fantastic and fun time. We even got to play "Garden Games". They were Bocce ball and a viking stick throwing game. T&W have already found where they can order them online so they can play them after Denmark!

New Friends and a Bottle of Schnapps

Monday we went back to Copenhagen for another tour of the city. This time we visited the little mermaid, Kastellet, Amalianborg, Rosenborg, and the Botanical Gardens. Sometimes while we are in Copenhagen we see some really beautiful and big boats and yachts. We ran across one on this day. It was the most gorgeous yacht. I got the name of the yacht (Pelorus) and looked it up when I got home. The only reason I knew the mans name that it belongs to is a few weeks one of our friends was talking about him. Anyways, It belongs to Roman Abramovich. AKA, A Russian Billionaire,and Pelorus is said to be the 11th largest yacht in the world.

I want my parents to look at all the pics from T and W´s visit so they can choose all the things they want to do when they arrive in Denmark! You have your own tourist site here!! LOL.

It was nice of Matt and his wife to invite you over to their house. Is that were you ate fish to be polite? :)
Our neighbours were playing that stick game with some friends not long ago and I wondered what that was. I looks fun!

We love looking at all the baby ducks this time of the year. Viggo doesn't find them more interesting that the big ones, though.
