15. This is
St. Petri,
one of the
oldest
churches in
Hamburg.

16. This is the oldest artifact in Hamburg.
It is over 500 Years old.

17. This is the door handle on the right. It is 500 years
younger than the other one but yet it looks older
because this is the door handle that everyone
touches. Interesting that they will touch the lion over
the demon.

18. This church
was bombed
three times,
rebuilt twice,
and on the
third time they
decided not to
rebuild it.

19. It now serves
as a peace
memorial
and is black
from the
flames that
burned it.

was the first
thing to be
bombed in
Germany,
and begun
the World
Wars.

excited to go to Denmark!!!

79. I’m in Denmark!!!

80. Downtown
Denmark and
the
temperature is
14 degrees
Celsius. That’s
57.2 degrees
Fahrenheit. It’s
a cold day.

82. Some old architecture
buildings…

90. I was
exploring
around
Copenhagen
and I found
this lovely
statue.

94. Posing with a
lovely lamp pole.
Copenhagen is a
very beautiful
city and has
many fun and
interesting
things.

95. Danish license plate on
a German car.

96. The sky is
beautiful
here but
most of
the time I
was there
it rained.

97. My friend Nela and I.

104. Really big yacht…

105. This is the
Danish
Palace.

110. We got to
see the
changing of
the guard
and that
was really
interesting.

117. Another
statue in
Copenhagen.

118. The
famous
Danish
Mermaid.

119. She is
smaller that I
thought she
would be.

121. This would me
riding my
extremely
getto city rent
a bike. Yes, I
did ride the
town bicycle,
and am proud
of it!

122. This is
by far the most
pathetic getto
bike I have ever
seen.

123. This would
be me
before I
realized
that the bus
had left
me….

124. Viking ship at the
Vikings museum
in Copenhagen,
Denmark.

126. Friends…

127. Sitting in the Viking’s
boat.

128. At this museum they
make Viking boats from
their original design and
with authentic tools.

130. The Danish flag waving in the
wind.

131. Trying out a
new mode of
transportation
in an
environmental
museum.

132. The Danish Kronborg Castle.

135. Marvin
and I.

136. From the
inside looking
out. This is a
beautiful castle
and has
something to
do with Hamlet
and
Shakespear.

138. The castle has
been renovated in
to a museum now.
It was not too
crowded with
people the day
that we went
which was nice so
that we could
leisurely browse
the museum.

139. This is from
the bow of a
ship. It is
supposed to
look
intimidating,
but it looks
nice to me.

140. Wine Chest

141. The museum is
a marine
museum.
While we were
inside looking
at the
museum, it
started hailing
outside.

142. Money
Chest

143. Now, the
problem with
this artifact is
that it is not
being used. It
was cold and
this would have
looked a lot
better with a fire
in it.

144. From the
bow again…
maybe she
was pretty
before she
weathered
all those days
at sea…

145. What ever boat
bow this was on,
they must have
been trying to
scare other boats
away. She
definitely would
have sent the
men running the
other direction.

147. Okay, finally
we found the
friendly ship.
There were
several of
these ship
bows there
on exhibit.

150. Another warrior
ship. No, these
are achtually all
jokes. I have no
idea what kind
of ships these
went on. Just
adlibing for the
comic effect.

151. Ship Frame

152. This one is
pulling the
oldest line in
the book. “Hey
did you see
that?” This is
one sheepish
boat.

153. Picture through
the museum
window. This is
one of the few
windows that I
have seen that has
a single door.
Most windows
have double doors
to keep out the
cold.

154. This would be
after it hailed. It
didn’t stick
though because
it was too warm.

158. The veiw from
the top of the
castle was
amazing.
Definitely worth
walking up the
never ending
spiral staircase.

162. The flag in this
picture is not
posed that
way. That
would be the
wonderful
bone chilling
wind.

165. I have no idea
what any of the
things on this
mean except
stop. First of all
it’s in Danish
and second of
all I don’t speak
ship.

167. More
pictures
from the
marine
museum.
