*c l o s u r e*

holy crap. we've left the country. we're in iceland now, but i don't feel like i can even get into that yet, since i don't feel i've had blog closure with copenhagen. i will attempt to recapture our last 2 days in cph, and then get to iceland next time...

but first... can i just say how adorable my fairy godson, jake is?

ok. so we've been wanting to check out this cute looking breakfast place called granola in our old 'hood, vesterbrø. amazing granola & oatmeal. we would totally be regulars here. we bought some tables at design zoo & had to leave our bikes there the night before so we could haul the tables back home, so we took the bus back down & grabbed our bikes after breakfast. we did a pretty thorough run through of a bunch of places we wanted to hit one more time. there are tons of great kids clothing places. the patterns are so good out here. we also went by jason's favorite bike shop. so dreamy. then one more look at det mondaere skur. that place kills me. bought some spoons, cause i can't resist a great spoon.




after a little downtime at the apartment, we headed back out & rode to islands bryggs, and had our favorite pizza in cph one last time at il pano. the guy even threw in an extra piece for free! i felt like we had excellent islands bryggs closure. it was still light out so we took another exploratory bikeride which worked out great, because the next night was rainy. we were trying to figure out our favorites of our trip (sometimes we like to pretend-interview each other) and jason asked what our favorite hidden discovery was. we found a really beautiful area on our bike ride that became our favorite hidden discovery. how well does that work out!?




we ended up headed towards an enticing archway, and rode right into some armed soldiers. crazy. you never know what you'll run into on exploratory bikerides in copenhagen. these were not friendly fellows, like the soldier we made smile at the royal something castle. they were not to be reckoned with, and kind of harshed our mellow, so we headed back home...

next day: returned by bike to malene & bought 2 amazing skull glasses from lotta (soon to be photographed). then louisiana for one last time. checked out the sip my ocean video exhibit. loved it - especially the mother & father film clips. so brilliant. they also had a calder stabile up on the lawn overlooking the water that wasn't there last time, so we admired it from the cozy cafe while it rained for a bit. then a train adventure on the way home, hopping on & off, and checking out the town klampenborg, where arne jacobsen-designed restaurant. fyi -- closed on sundays, like everything else in copenhagen. but we had a nice walk & had a beach to ourselves and discovered this bikerack garden. pesky bees...

and with a light rain and a cozy bowl of chana aloo from our neighborhood indo-italian-mexican (what?) spot, came our moment of closure in copenhagen.
