What a thrill Copenhagen was! One of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in, and both the city and the people were lovely . Interesting that I was there on a Sunday, and other than restaurants & convenience stores, ALL stores, shops and businesses were closed. Remember when OUR country used to be that way? A true "day of rest", family day, Lord's day? Although it wasn't the most desired for this "sightseeing" gal, I was glad to see it. The Scandinavians really do seem to have a higher quality of life in many ways. An obvious observation while traveling. They are "dressier" while out... many wear jeans, but they are dressed up... you can tell that it is a special thing to be out and about enjoying leisure time. And oh my! The waterfront area! With it's colorful buildings and docked boats! It looked like a post card! I only hope that I've captured the flavor of it all in my photos. An interesting side-note as a Flight Attendant? Because the cost of living is so high in the Scandanavian countries (a Big Mac meal can cost around $15!) they tend to enjoy our free beverages & cheap cocktails and on flights many passengers will order 2 or 3 beverages (per person) every service! Whew! It challenges my memory! Ha! We certainly earn our pay on those flights! High maintenance, but a very polite, classy group of people. Well, bye for now. I'd love to hear from you on my "comments" if you enjoyed this, ok? Love to all!

Loved your pictures!! I do remember when everything was closed on Sunday. I didn't quite appreciate it when I was a teenager, but I certainly miss it now. When we go to Ohio to see Kim's relatives the little towns in the area still close up on Sunday! I love to slow down on Sundays. I think Sundays even feel different, reverent, caring, fun. We love to be in church of course and then go to lunch. I enjoy just listening to everyone talk and visit. Have a great day. Love Linda
