Day 1: Copenhagen

Technically not a full day but we packed some stuff in. After we got settled into our hostel, we set out on a self guided walking tour around some of the city.  We checked out the first pedestrian street in the world. The Copenhagen Jazz Festival is going on while we are here. We saw the University of Copenhagen. We also saw the Cathedral of St. Peder. At the Cathedral of our Lady, there isn't a statue of Mary due to the reformation and the city no longer being Catholic. There was also a huge organ and someone came in and played it while we were there. It was so beautiful! We saw some sort of Indian festival, there were some really cool dancers. We then stopped and had a picnic near the famous play house. We ate meat, cheese, bread, cherries, and cookies while looking out over the harbor. We walked back to the hostel and the adults had a beer. We were all asleep before 8:30. The sun was still high in the sky, thanks to being this far north.
