So, it's been awhile....

So, I realize it's been a while since our last post, yes we are still alive, yes we are eating our fruits and veggies, but through the stress of acclimating to a new place we both picked up a nasty dose of sniffles and incredibly soar throats.  So, in the absence of feeling the want to adventure with our ragged bodies, we've been taking it pretty easy, sleeping and may have formed what looks to most an addiction to vitamin C.  However, since our last post we have managed to have a few outings before the sickness kicked in.  Every October in Copenhagen comes a night, in this case the 12th, where all the museums, theaters, palaces, castles, or historic places rather, open their arms to the public.  It becomes a night of exploring most places that aren't open daily to the public. To the folks back home, if you ever ventured to any of the open house nights, whether it be Petoskey or Harbor Springs, this Copenhagen culture night was similar, except unfortunately it wasn't free, there weren't any massive sugar cookies from that one bank in Harbor Springs, there wasn't any free hot chocolate or bean stew in massive cauldrons in the streets, but there still was a magic about it.  We managed to find a neat little coffee shop that was still open, bought some delicious hot chocolate and sat outside near a fireplace.  Another adventure we had, which I know Mom, you will be rather proud of seeing as it may have involved Bailey's Irish Cream, a pub and our first legal European alcoholic beverage.  Dad,  we didn't go crazy and do some ski shots, or jagger bombs, but we did try an Irish Coffee.  I know original right, expect the coffee addict to maybe try something different when it comes to alcohol, well just keeping it familiar. Thanks for enjoying our adventures with us!
