Commuting with the local Danish folk has been a bit of a high point for me on this trip. Just really love the vibe with the trains and the traffic and the bikes!
Took the train up to meet Michael for a ride to work, but got to stop at his house - apparently the former home of Jørgen Haagen Schmith, a WW2 resistance fighter (portrayed by Mads MIkkelson in Flame & Citron - a great movie!) which of course I found fascinating!

| Apparently the intersection was the scene of some sort of kerfuffle during the war |
And since I had it bookmarked, we drove past Jægersborg Allé 184, where Citron was killed after a gruesome firefight, where he held is own against 200 German troops, finally running out of ammo and charging the machine guns.

| Ok, not much to see from the road, but still amazing |

Heading home I realized I needed to eat - again - and headed into the center to find something.

| The light show included turning the whole building into an advent calendar with a number in each window |

| Like I would go to Copenhagen and not see something Lego? |
After having some Gløgg in Nyhavn I screwed up the courage to get some dinner, and had a lovely Tuborg holiday beer (Julebryg) and a "New York burger" which was flat out amazing. Then back to the hotel to write up travels and then pack for tomorrow's departure.
I very much would love to stay longer. And I very much can't wait to get home. It's been a lovely, fun, beautiful, amazing, interesting, enlightening, happy trip. But I miss my family and my comfy home. But it sounds like I'll be back in less than too many seasons, so I look forward to coming back some day -- maybe next time during summer months where I get tons of light for taking pictures...
