This morning I did my usual – after breakfast I walk outside to check the weather. With hardly a cloud in the sky and with the temp crisply in the upper 50’s, I announce the day as, “Spectacular!” An hour later it was raining and continued until late afternoon. So much for my weather forecasting skills, as well as last day plans.

This ended up being a perfect day for museums and an early afternoon Pub visit. Saw a great Egyptian and Greek art and sculpture exhibit and then to the Danish National Museum which had great historical artifacts. Seeing how people lived in the 11th century is so much different than visiting Betsy Ross’ house.

Okay, so much for history. We then found The Dubliner where all the rain-soaked people ended up watching French Open tennis and the Europe Cup. Met a new friend from Cyprus, an architect with a Danish fiancé.

After the rain stopped we hopped a cab and headed to the other end of town to see The Littlest Mermaid statue. This was built because of the famous Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen and is considered a national symbol of Denmark.

We then had early dinner at Wagamama as we continue to try and go to everyone of these around the world. Actually this is only the 5th one. With the early dinner we just knew we would be back to the hotel early tonight and get ready for early wake-up on Saturday to fly home. Only one problem. When we went to the train station there had been a train accident and our train would not be running. We then followed some people that were going to the same place we were. This led us to a different Metro station where we caught a local subway to the airport. From there we had to get off and wait for another train to where we are staying. Oh well. What’s another 2-hour screw-up? You’d think the local train system was related to American Airlines.

But, with that, that’s about it. Saturday is travel day and look forward to getting home after being gone 4 weeks. I'll check back with you on Sunday after experiencing that Texas heat!

Various pictures from today will follow. This morning we had Copenhagen Seniors parading around yelling and blowing whistles. And it appears they were graduating from the Naval Acadamy. None of them are around tonight – Surprise, Surprise. I’m sure they’re all passed out somewhere.

Until later, “Cheers!”
