Copenhagen & Malmo

The life of Lilah - being toted through Europe in the baby carrier.

After leaving Germany, Jessie, Lilah and I flew to Copenhagen.  We heard from multiple people that we would love it there, and we certainly were not disappointed.  Copenhagen is a really beautiful and very friendly city. We stayed in Frederiksberg, and were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed many food markets, did some shopping, hung out at Tivoli Gardens (a large amusement park in the middle of downtown Copenhagen), walked for miles through the city, canals, shops, parks, and saw the little mermaid statue.

Boats and brightly colored houses lined the canals

Feeding the ducks at Tivoli Gardens.  Jessie had a slight obsession with this duck.

Malmo is just across the Oresund (a small waterway) from Copenhagen, it was under an hour on the bus and was a really pretty drive.  There was another post doc opportunity that Chris had been excited about near Malmo, so I wanted to see where we could have ended up!  I was surprised how much I loved it there – it’s a very quaint and friendly town bustling with shops, restaurants, sculptures, a castle, and tons of personality.  I am very happy we ended up in Versailles, but who knows, maybe Malmo is next on our list (avert your eyes, grandmas).

This is the only picture I took in Malmo.  Probably because Jessie's husband is performing in Oklahoma the musical this fall, so we had been singing the Oklahoma song a lot (I had been singing it, she had been rolling her eyes at me), which somehow always turned into the Music Man's 76 Trombones around the second verse.  So naturally I thought it was hilarious when we encountered this marching band statue!
