| Atop the cannon tower at Kromborg |
The past eight days my old friend Kevin Applegate was visiting me here in Copenhagen. It's a good time to do it, since the person I'm sharing the apartment is gone on vacation for a whole month and won't be back until the first of October.
We traveled outside of the city twice, to the Viking Longship Museum at Roskilde and the Kromborg castle at Helsingør and had a lot of fun inside the city as well, especially at Freetown Christiania. We hadn't seen each other in at least 8 years, and hadn't kept up regularly in more than 10. Kevin's been in London getting a Master's degree in applied linguistics - essentially in teaching English to non-native speakers - from King's College. He spent the previous six years working as an English teacher in South Korea.
It is quite nice to reconnect with someone you knew growing up on a completely different side of the world. To speak of common acquaintances and familiar neighborhoods while exploring a new city and meeting people from places you used to think were so very far away.
Below are a few pictures from the last week. They are not well organized because arranging photos on Blogger is awful. Apologies.
Here's a link to the whole album if you are interested.
