copenhagen, denmark

the danes have been good to us today & yesterday.
yesterday ben & i walked around the city. there's tons of touristy things here and it's really funny. i see lots of american references and things around the towns & i like takin' pics of 'em. like clint eastwood in front of "rosie mcgees" western pop culture restaurant.
we stopped by "ripley's believe-it-or-not" and looked around. it was so creepy & weird. so we left. then we saw a few thrift shops & the MOST bicycles ever. we wondered about how they couldn't be stolen, because almost none of them were locked to a bike rack. just parked. but then today we realized that they just lock the back tire. so you can't move without breaking all the spokes.

we went to an all-you-can eat pizza place. italian food, indian music, french parisian posters on the walls, & 2 americans dining in denmark. really mixed culture.
apparently we were right next to the denmark "red light" district, but we didn't know it.
then we went to see the film "cloverfield" at the cinema for 80krones each.
oh, we also got some really good coffee downtown, they took euros there so i got to empty my pockets or foreign currency.
today we drove 2km further into town & ben and i walked around town some more, went to a music store and another thrift shop. we stopped in the skate park to watch some little kids skateboarding, that was cool. i saw other little kids chasing pigeons around in front of a fountain. amazing. i definitely got that on my camera.
an old woman stopped ben on the street for him to autograph a printed out copy of a band photo. it was really funny. but she knew immediately that he was from the band and we weren't even near the venue.
