Here is a shot of Bryggen:
The flight to Copenhagen was one of the easiest I've had. We signed in using a computer and all it required was the conformation number. Then it printed our boarding passes, which were the only thing we needed to get through security and on to the plane! We didn't have to show passports at all! Getting on the plane was easy too, they just announced it was boarding and we all got on. Rich was a little miffed that they tried to sell us drinks, but the flight was cheap so I didn't mind. What I thought was funny is that they forced us to go through duty free shopping to get to the international terminal. I repaid their aggressiveness by trying as many samplers as I could before I lost my sense of smell.
We got in to Copenhagen without incident and hopped on the train to our apartment.
It is literally across the street from Central Station
and isn't really 'our' apartment, since Peter, our host, mistakenly double booked it. We knew about this before we left, and we can't complain too much because it is still cheaper then a hotel room by at least half. And we get access to a kitchen.
We got in fairly early, so we set out to explore a bit. Myra and I visited the bakery on the corner and got what amounts to the pastry version of a haystack. It was very yummy. I plan to figure out what it was and to replicate it at home.
We decided to get a head start on our agenda, so we went to visit the grounds at Fredericksburg,
then walked back to our apartment. We got back after 7 and called it a day. After I finish writing this I am going to go read a book, then go to sleep. Goodnight!

A note on the cost of food: when we say it is expensive, we mean it is about double the cost of stuff in the states. Hot dogs cost $7-$8 and when we finally broke down and went to a restaurant for Rich's birthday, I paid $24 for curry.
PS did the picture links in the first post work? (eventually we'll replace all with pictures)
yes, the picture links worked.
