I'm in Love, I'm in Love, and I Don't Care Who Knows It!


Well, it's official. I am in love with Copenhagen. Yes, I know I've only been here for two days, but after walking around today, I've realized how perfect it is. DIS orientation made us go to the main sights of the city, and these were my adventures of the day:

1. Nyhavl: Translates to "New Harbor" and it's the picturesque scene on most Copenhagen postcards. Breathtaking! Definitely want to go back and eat dinner on the water one night.
2. Christiansborg Palace: It's where Parliament currently resides. And we saw the most adorable Danish children on a field trip there and I died of happiness. So many tiny blondes.









3. Rosenborg Palace and Gardens: Gorgeous!! Absolutely beautiful. I took a tour of the palace which was quaint and artistic, but the gardens themselves are just so wonderful. I'll definitely be studying and chilling out on the lawns as it gets warmer out.

4. More of Stroget, the main shopping pedestrian street: It rocks. It has so many restaurants and shops and bends and curves and is adorable.
5. Amelianborg Castle: Where the Royal family currently resides. Gotta go back to see the changing of the guard, and maybe the queen if I'm lucky!













6. Marble Church:

Randomly wandered into it and it was gorgeous and FREE! (My new favorite word, as everything here is beyond expensive. Wahhh.) Apparently on weekends you can climb to the top of the dome and see great views of the city, so that's on the to-do list as well.

Many more adventures to come! Can't wait!
