Tasha And Gwen in Denmark

In order to write about the 14th and 15th of April, I (Natasha) have recruited the help of my Mom (Gwen). The following post is a combined account of our Thursday and Friday.

On Thursday we spent a wonderful day at Frederiksborg slot. Natasha has already been to the castle and is now used to the sight of its beautiful stonework, gardens, and sheer majesty; Gwen on the other hand spent the day in awe, remarking on every facet of the building and even the smallest flowers in the garden.

As we sat down to lunch in a nearby Cafe, Gwen described the whole experience of the Danish castles (so far Rosenborg and Frederiksborg) as quite "majestic". And she affirmed what Natasha has been trying to convey to her blogging audience since her arrival in Denmark; that one can not really describe or capture everything fully. It is impossible to fully convey the feel of cobblestones underfoot, and the towering splendor from times of old.

Since spring is slowly, but surely coming to Copenhagen the flowers are emerging. Needless to say for those of you that know Gwen, each flower is remarked about, and many have been photographed.

Our adventure on Friday was simply - the canals. Since Gwen's arrival it had been fairly cold (by Florida standards) in Copenhagen, but Friday was a fantastic early spring day, with sunshine, blue skies and warmth. Natasha could not contain her excitement about the weather through indoor activities, so we ended up spending the day by the canals in Copenhagen.

In addition to sitting on the edge of the canal (much to Gwen's dismay and constant warnings) we took a boat ride through the canals, seeing Natasha's home away from home by water. It ended up being a great day relaxing at the canals, and seeing the warmer side of Copenhagen.
