A bilingual blog for a binational family.
One of our favorite things to do when we visit a new city is to go to the local zoo. The Copenhagen zoo was a great surprise for us. It was a little far, but we didn’t mind the walk as long as we could see some cool animals. The main attractions were the polar […]
We wound up taking this trip to Copenhagen because my dad was invited by the National Church of Copenhagen to speak at a preaching conference. He had done this before and last year he played a little music for the entertainment evening of the conference. The conference-goers were so pleased with his lectures and music […]
One of our excursions was to the Rosenborg Castle, which was right across the street from the botanical gardens and only a few blocks from our hotel. Rick Steves had rated this attraction pretty high, and I was interested in seeing the crown jewels! So we took our cameras and headed out to the castle […]
One of our Copenhagen excursions was a trip to the crazy Tivoli Gardens – a really cool theme park right in the middle of the city. Once inside the walls of Tivoli, it’s hard to imagine that this place is right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city – it’s got […]
It is no surprise that by now Leslie and I have developed a strong interest in plants. Luckily for us, our hotel was just a couple of blocks from Copenhagen’s botanical gardens (we didn’t know until we found it on a map after a couple of days). The garden is a beautiful park, free, and […]
On Monday morning we all set out for the canal to take a canal tour. We’re extremely good at getting lost, but my mom and Javier are obsessed with their Copenhagen maps. So while dad and I meander around the city in our own worlds taking photos, mom and Javi would stop about every 100 […]
One thing you must know about my in-laws is that they love beer. Not in a “let’s get drunk” kind of way, but in a “let’s enjoy a good beer” way. The best known brewery in Copenhagen is Carlsberg, and luckily John and Annie hadn’t yet visited it so it was a great opportunity to […]
Here we are in Denmark! The excitement of being in Europe for the first time with Javier is finally hitting me – I spent a little too much thought and energy dreading the flight to really think about how much fun we are going to have here with my parents! Javier and I always wondered […]
You may have noticed that the posts are here are fewer and farther between, which can only mean one thing: the end of the semester is here! And we’re swamped! COMPLETELY SWAMPED. I just finished my first of two comprehensive exams this week (!!!) and the little spare time that Javi and I had last week was […]
Well, I’m pretty sure I’m all traveled out for the month of April! Javier and I just returned with my parents from a long drive home from Destin, where my cousin Andrew married his lovely new wife Camala. My parents and I drove down to Destin on Wednesday, stopping overnight in Birmingham and arriving in […]
