Turning 25 in Copenhagen [Day 2]

Day 2 of the Copenhagen Birthday experience was spent wandering the streets with Jonas.

We walked to some famous cemetery to see HC Andersen's grave as well as that of Issac Bohr.  No, I still don't know who Mr. Bohr is, but they insist that he is important.

 here is a cold Jonas, and then a cold Liz

And for those of you that are interested, the tombstone, you can translate his epitaph if you like, I had it translated for me in the cemetery... don't remember what it said... Jonas was upset it didn't rhyme...

We then went to the weirdest place I have ever been in my entire life... Christiania

You just need to read the article for a decent explanation, but basically these guys built their own houses in the 70's and declared themselves a free state. They don't pay taxes [subject of controversy] and they allow the sale of hash [another subject of controversy].  You can't really take pictures because that would be proof of the drug trade, so they don't tolerate that.  I took a picture of the sign on the way out....

Bizarre.

We then went to the state art museum where it was warm and hung out there until he passed the torch to Ben later that evening.

Saturday was the Danish version of Halloween [kinda] so we went to a costume party at one of Ben's friends house.  You would have sworn you were in the US with how dressed up everyone was.  It was pretty entertaining.  Ben was a cop since she had her costume from the US, and I improvised a french outfit; stripes, beret, eiffel tower necklace, overall feeling of superiority. 

Everyone seriously went all out.  Awesome !
