Walden Visits!!!

The Wednesday after Bornholm my dear friend from Colby, Walden (aka Victoria but no one really calls her that amirite Walden) came to visit me!!! She had spent the first half of her break in Budapest (including the baths) and the second half here in Denmark. :)

The evening Walden arrived I greeted her with my new all-time-favorite bakery special: the onsdagsnagl (ohns-day-snial (rhymes with dial)). It is just a glorified and especially-cheap-on-Wednesday cinnamon roll! We were supposed to go to a class event but I got lost and we did the next best thing: Thai for dinner.

The next day, I went to classes while Walden and Merete went to our beloved castle. In the evening, we went to the most beautiful ballet I've seen yet. It was at the Royal Theater and was another class event, but I had snagged a free ticket for Walden to join! It was called Dans2Go and had three acts: the first two were pretty regular stuff to my uncultured eyes. But the finale was mind blowing. It was super modern and incorporated technical stuff and interesting lighting and existential something and in the final moments everyone was dancing what had been individual throughout at the same time and it was really glorious. Men were lifting men and I was into it.

Now just imagine it with snow!

Now just imagine it with a bunch of Americans in the front row wearing flannel!

The next day I had classes again, so Walden explored Copenhagen through til the afternoon! We then met up and walked to Christiansborg, Cafe Paludan, Huset, Vela, and called it a night!

Christianborg's tower was LIT

What a cutie!!!!

Walden is so good at postcards you should see the cursive :)
This is at Cafe Paludan, the book cafe!

We played a whole game of Scrabble with no Ws in Cafe Bastard, first floor of Huset!

Saturday was our last day but a great day. Merete was very very sick so we made her "soup" (milk and potatoes) before going to Louisiana in the afternoon! It was cool to see again, and a moment Walden has been looking forward to for years!

The William Kentridge exhibition, Thick Time, was A M A Z I N G.
Really you should read about it!!! 

We also saw the (arguably) most instagramed art exhibit, Gleaming Lights of the Soul by Yayoi Kusami.
And if you wanna read about it.

Afterwards we had a long wait for the train, so we got dinner at one of the millions of 7-11s! That night Walden left, and I was so sad to lose my roommate. :(( See you in September bb <<33

She left Copenhagen airport early early Sunday morning. I left Copenhagen airport for Amsterdam just a few hours later!
