Copenhagen!

I got to Copenhagen on a Monday night. My friend Emily picked me up from the airport and we went back to her place. Two of our other friends were visiting from the states so I got to see them too!

The next day we slept in a little and then Allie, Julia, and I went to the Rosenborg castle. We splurged so we could walk around the inside. It was pretty cool, but not phenomenal. I mean, it was only a summer castle... hehehe. Then we walked around Copenhagen; stopped at a cafe for lunch. We hung out at Nyhavn, which is the street that will show up on google images if you were to google Copenhagen. There is a canal that is lined with pretty boats and different colored buildings. Met up with Emily, since she had class, and went to the grocery store to buy food to make dinner. That night we met up with Julia's friend Freddy who lives in Copenhagen. She met him because he did an exchange at her high school and she kept in touch with him. We went to a few bars with him and one of his friends.

The next day we had to wait for Julia to get back because she slept at Freddy's, which was kind of a bummer since we didn't get to leave until like 3, but it ended up not mattering too much. Allie, Em, and I went to Dyrehavn, which was the royal hunting grounds back in the day. In english it is called deer park! There were just a bunch of deer running around. It took us a little while to find them, but once we did it was so cool! They had really big antlers and were so pretty. Then we went to the beach which was right across the street and sat on some rocks and ate ice cream. From the beach you could see Sweden! Later while Emily was supposed to be writing a paper, Julia and Allie took me to Christiania. Christiania is a a freetown. I think the miliatry used to be there, but once they moved out people started squatting there and then made a neighborhood of their own. I was bummed I couldn't see it during daylight because everyone said it is wicked cute and pictures prove it, but at night it was a little sketchy. There is an open cannabis trade so you can buy weed on the streets there and smoke it. It seems like the government has gone back and forth between ignoring it and enforcing drug laws there. You aren't allowed to take pictures or run in Christiania. There was a lot of pretty art and murals on the buildings.

Wednesday night we went to bed relatively early because the next day we were off to Berlin!

P.S. Sorry it sounds like a 10 year old wrote this. I am feeling very scatterbrained today.
