First Stop: Copenhagen

Well.  I'm quite the boring "traveler" when I am in school.
BUT GUESS WHAT.  I've graduated!!  Wahoo!
So you know what that means?  TRAVEL TIME!!!
My travel bag for the next week and a half.

My companion from my mission, Ksenia, got married.  And she invited me to go to her sealing in Ukraine.  So I decided to go!  And I decided to make a trip out of it.
So I called up another one of my companions, Lisa, and we went together.
Here we go! Flying to Denmark!
I know it looks like I'm posing for this picture but I was truly asleep
First stop: DENMARK
Since it was cheapest to fly to Denmark - that's where we went.  I have a friend from Denmark and she gave us a list of ideas of things to do while we were there!
Copenhagen City Hall!
We were slightly jet lagged-but didn't want to miss out on anything by trying to nap and get over the jet lag!  So we walked all over Copenhagen to see some of the many things they have to offer!
Church of our Lady - where the original Christus statue resides
 A cool church on our walk around the city of Copenhagen
 The buildings, streets, and just everything is so magical here!
Tower of Christiansborg Palace
 We went into the dungeons/basement of the Palace
 And then made our way over to the royal rooms of the palace!
 The Royal thrones!
 Dining Hall - jaw dropper
 Even the hallways are magnificent
The Library - I felt like Belle while Iwas in this library! I want a library like this!! (the books wrap around the ENTIRE room!  This is just one side of the room that our picture shows)
After the rooms, we went up the tower - view from the top!
 Then we headed over to Nyhaven - such cute houses and so colorful!
And that concludes our day 1 of our journey!  We tried to find an outdoor market that was supposed to be super big...but we couldn't find it. So we just got some groceries and headed home.
It was a great day! We are loving it in Copenhagen!!
