Making New Friends

Meet our cat.  He hangs around our window a lot.  Cute kitty :)

Today we stayed in Copenhagen and toured around a bit.  It was bitterly cold and windy and started raining in the afternoon.  But we made the most out of our day.
First stop: Rosenborg Castle.  The Rosenborg castle was built in in 1606-34 by Christian IV and holds the Danish Crown Jewels and Royal Regalia.

The Throne Room! With lions even!

 Danish Crown Jewels

While we were in the treasury, someone/something triggered the alarm.  So we got stuck down there for a good 20 minutes because security wouldn't let anyone leave!  They had to make sure nothing was stolen. Turns out it was just a baby that had triggered the alarm somehow.

It is quite a magnificent castle!

Then we made our way to the Little Mermaid Statue.

Then we ran into a cool church and beyond the church a neat windmill at the Kastellet (The Citadel)!  Pretty neat!  Kastellet is one of the best preserved star fortresses in Northern Europe.

After that, we visited my friend's mom, Tina, for dinner.  She was such a great hostess and we absolutely loved spending time with her!  She fed us dinner and then we all went to a Stake Concert at the church building that evening.  It was fun to meet more members in the area and get to know Tina more!

Dinner at Tina's :)

On our way to the Stake Concert with Tina :)

On the way to Tina's place, we stopped in a little corner store.  And I found the most incredible surprise!  So, while I was on my mission in Russia, there was this cereal bar that I found in my last transfer that I absolutely LOVED and would buy constantly!  More than chocolate bars (for me that is a HUGE deal!).  I hadn't had it in almost 3 years....and we found those EXACT CEREAL BARS in this corner store!  So of course I splurged and got some.  And lemme tell ya - they were still JUST AS GOOD.  I wish they had them in the United States!

And that is a wrap of our day!  Not a ton, but it was great.
