Tuesday, July 1, was Canada Day. We had no plans, but one of the Canadian students dropped by and asked if we wanted to join him and a few of the others for a trip to the harbor to sit and enjoy the day's nice weather. Why not... a way to meet a few more of the other students, to see more of the downtown sights we hadn't seen...
This is the classic Copenhagen shot of Nyhavn, or "new harbor". The first floor of all of the buildings are restaurants overlooking the harbor -- all very expensive, and not very good, according to the local who was with us that night.
At the end of Nyhavn, this is the "bus" coming in to take people across the canal to the Christianshavn neighborhood.
The Queen's Residence was a few blocks north, so we wandered up there to take a look. This is one of the guards.The gardens outside the Queen's Residence.
Bruce's artsy waterfront photography (note the reflections) from the water's edge, also at the edge of the gardens. Looking across toward the city opera house. Much better than most city postcards, in my opinion!
And here's part of the group, L to R: me, Katie (North Carolina), Zini (North Carolina), Erin (Toronto), Christina (Germany). We ended the evening sitting on the steps of a church meeting u with some of the guys who'd bought a few pizzas, where Erin sang O, Canada! for us in French! (upon my prompting!!!)
