World Travels

After 16 days in Denmark, I have returned home with lots of memories and ideas. I am still processing all that was seen and done. I have lots of photos to upload and can't wait to begin painting again. Copenhagen was fabulous. I visited several museums and galleries which I will sort through and post as well. One that stands out incredibly though was the Cindy Sherman exhibit at the Louisiana Museum in Hillerod.

The trip over to Denmark was long and exhausting but worth every second. Our original flight out of San Juan to JFK would not get us there early enough to make the connecting flight to London, so we went to the airport early to see if we could catch an earlier flight out and they accommodated us very nicely. We had a 4 hr wait in JFK for the London flight which gave us time for a couple of drinks before the long journey. After a 7 hr flight to London and a mad dash to get to our gate for the next leg of our trip to Copenhagen, we had 20 min to spare. I have decided that when I fly to Europe or any other place requiring more than a 4 hr ride, I will fly business or first class. The seats are just not comfortable enough to stretch out much or sleep during such a long flight.

Once in Copenhagen, we were met by some friends of Jaymee and Palle who had brought us a car for us to use on on stay. We then drove to Hundested. We stayed in this house that was built in 1797. Poor Julio kept hitting his head on the doorways as they were less than 6 ft high to help save on heating. It was quite a charming place. I did a quick watercolor of the house that I will post up later.

It was quite a trip and I will give the rest of the details later. For now, I have tons of cleaning to do.
