Tori arrived safe and sound. For her first day here we shopped for most of the day. At night we went to Christiania, Copenhagen’s “alternative” neighborhood. Apparently, the area used to be used for military housing. I guess a bunch of squatters started living there and never got kicked out. It’s a pretty neat place – there are vendors everywhere selling all sorts of hippie apparel and paraphernalia, an indoor skateboarding area covered in graffiti, and a bunch of whimsical, leaning houses around a lake. The whole place smells of marijuana and its not hard to see why. Everybody there is smoking, and they sell it openly on the street.
We ran into one of my friends from soccer, Aurelio. He is the one who sat with me and watched the pick-up game that I was not allowed to play in while we waited for his friends to arrive. He showed us around and pointed out all of the good restaurants and places to go.
I’m getting excited for our Western Denmark tour. I really enjoyed our first study tour, especially the food. We leave tomorrow morning.
