Part of my goal for this year is to become a trendy jetsetter. The first step in this process was moving to London. Check! Second step, start exploring the rest of Europe. Check again! Early, far too early Friday morning I hopped on a plane and flew to Denmark to visit my wonderful boyfriend. David is spending the next two years studying theatre at The Commedia School in Copenhagen Denmark.
He was there to meet me at the airport Friday morning with a big smile. We spent Friday at all of his usual haunts. David has obtained an extra bike for me, because apparently bicycling is THE way to get about town, and has been showing me the town. I have actually been really inspired to get myself a bicycle when I get back to London. You can cover so much more ground in so much less time. After settling in we spent the evening with David's good friend Imre, another student at The Commedia School, from Hungary. We ended up in this cozy bar (cozy is big in Denmark) with another friend of theirs. I must admit at some point in the evening it began to feel like we were in some sort of russian spy novel, or something. Or maybe in a scene from Les Mis. All of us sitting around a table in a dimly lit bar, exposed brick walls, everyone around us speaking different languages. It felt like we should have been plotting the demise of some awful dictator. It was very atmospheric!
We slept in Saturday, which was much needed, and then spent the rest of the day in a similarly leisurely fashion. We had planned to go to a couple of museums, but they closed much earlier in the day than expected, so that ended up not working out. Instead we spent our time outside in the gorgeous fall day! We bought crepes from a street vendor and went in search of street performers, window shopped and people watched. It was really wonderful. A much needed respite from my busy schedule, and some really nice quality time with David.
Right now I am sitting in Cafe Munk, the cozy cafe where David works. Tonight we are going to try and find a show to watch. The challenge will be finding something either in English, or clear enough that we'll be able to follow the plot even if its in Danish. Should be an adventure.
