    🎼🎵🎶Beautiful, Beautiful Copenhagen🎶🎵

    I first learned about Copenhagen as a kid while reading The Happy Hollisters and the Mystery of the Little Mermaid.

    Our excursion was very interesting. We saw the Little Mermaid, Nike - WWI Sailor memorial, Maersk headquarters. The Refuse disposal plant not only incinerates trash, it generates power, and there's a ski slope on top. And the smoke is apparently very clean.

    We saw houses where Hans Christian Andersen lived (red & orange houses) the Opera House where he worked, and across from Tivoli Gardens the Hans Christian Andersen Experience - colocated with Ripley's Believe it or Not - which tells the story of his life, and tells several of the stories he wrote. My favorite is The Little Match Girl. I remember Dad reading it to me. It still brings tears... Poor little match girl.

    Across from the Tivoli is a weather feature that tells the temperature and weather. There's a girl on a bike for fair weather. She carries an umbrella when it's raining.
    We saw several palaces. The Amelienborg Palace, where the King lives, had a lot of activity going on. We later saw the Christiansborg Palace where government takes place.

    Copenhagen is truly beautiful.
