Okay, so let's be frank here. Paris, amazing. Brugge, preserved and beautiful and full of beer. Amsterdam, has everything you could ever want or need to make you happy or give you a reason to pray for someone. Copenhagen, well.... its Copenhagen! It has a kind of chew named after it? It's old?
Well, we got into town this morning after an 11 hour train ride during which we slept and travelled to the Czech, Poland, and Germany. When we booked our tickets here, James asked me, somewhat rhetorically, what there is to do in Copenhagen. And, well, we haven't exactly figured out the answer yet. But we are working on it. It is a pleasant enough city, not well preserved (at least for anything built after the 70's) with a nice museum and city center. It was kind of telling when the walking tour guide we got at the tourist office listed seeing the canals as a major activity. Not, the historic buildings near the canals, or the site where something happened, but the canal itself.
Wait, on further reflection, I have found something interesting about Copenhagen. There is a wonderful museum with dozens of original Greek and Roman sculptures and numerous Rodins. We spent a good amount of time there and enjoyed it greatly. Also, it hasn't rained. That seems like no big deal until you have to carry your entire life on your back on a daily basis. Hooray for no rain!
