*lovely day*

*i had the best day with myself today! i got laundry done this morning -- so satisfying. i love that i can hang everything out to dry outside here. i decided to do a DIY tour of frederiksberg that i downloaded before i came here. i rode over to a new park with a picnic lunch, and sat & read for a while. then i found cisternerne -- the museum of modern glass art. holy crap. most amazing museum -- totally underground. cavernous, wet floors, creepy noises, and cold, but so incredible. bo, my new friend who works there, gave me a sweater so i wouldn't be cold. a sweater!!! they have a few in the entry way. i had heard of a similar myth -- that restaurants here give you blankets -- good, soft blankets, if it gets chilly and you are sitting outside. could this place get any better? copenhagen is so in touch with my inner-most philosophies, like soft, warm blankets as needed, in life. i tried to capture the magic with my undercover camera work -- there were signs all over not to take photos, but it didn't say anything about taking short video clips...


the second half of the museum -- where the glass is:


bo said i can come back for free next time. i think he likes me!

after the museum, i rode across the street to the zoo! i took a bunch of photos for my kids, since we did a zoo field trip. i thought it would be cool to see what kinds of animals (and kids) they have in another country. the polar bear freaked me out a little, but that's because i've been watching lost... anyway, here are some:






the rest of the photos are here, under "zoo day": http://web.mac.com/allisyn/iWeb

alexa from lille hus recommended i check out her favorite shop, which inspired her to start her company. *a m a z i n g.* i went in semi-undercover to get the scoop on the latest goods & got so much inspiration for layouts at home. a few photos here - the rest are on web.mac...




and that was just the first floor! check out the basement and this amazing beater.




how could anything not taste great if you use baby blue beaters!?

speaking of beautiful danish babies, my last photo for the day:

Hi, I found you via lille hus and am so enjoying your posts. I've visited Copenhagen a couple of times - but only very fleetingly - and love its unique feel and shops: I think that your stay there is so inspiring. I'm eager to see what you discover next!
