Copenhagen

We just returned from our trip to northeastern Europe; this is the first of several posts regarding that trip.

While making our way to Belarus to visit Anya's parents, we had an 8-hour layover in Copenhagen, Denmark. As it turns out, it was a good choice for such a layover: the airport is a quick ride on the Metro from the city center, and Copenhagen is a nice little place to spend a few hours between flights. We wandered around the old city, had a nice Danish lunch (smørrebrød - open-faced sandwiches with salmon or herring), and had enough coffee to stay awake for the next leg of the journey.

Although I saw an admittedly small portion of the city, Copenhagen struck me as being a clean, safe, and efficiently run place. It's fairly small as European capitols go, but it seems like it would be a comfortable and easy place to live.

Here are a few pictures from the first leg of our trip (including Copenhagen).
