May 30 and 31

I thought I'd try to be as good as my parents, who are on another epic bike ride (see their blog HERE), about posting some near daily pics and details about our Central Europe travels.  

But I have to include a few pics from our last stroll through Copenhagen yesterday.  It was a stunningly beautiful day....Mother Nature was good to us during our last week.  It was tough to say goodbye not only to the place, but the people, we've come to love a whole lot.

Early this morning we left and hopped over here to Krakow, Poland, a city (and country) that wears its history on every facade.  Just took a couple of walks this evening to get to know the 'hood around our AirBnB apartment and ate dinner at an up-scalish Polish restaurant that still cost less than lunch in CPH yesterday.  We are staying in the historically Jewish neighborhood of Kasimierz, whose residents were forcibly relocated to the ghetto in WWII.  Now it's a vibrant, hip place.  We are currently being serenaded by young people celebrating at the Jewish Community Center across the street.
In Cph, the Black Diamond library, the Dome of Visions, and the harbor on a beautiful night.
One of our favorite streets, the Streget, the location of our favorite bar, the Kreuzberg. 
"Our" square, Gråbrødre Torv.
Our front door and a cool bike.
One last stop at Lagkagehuset in the airport to say goodbye to these amazing folks, Andrea, Enrique, and Sofia. 
St. Mary's on the square in Krakow. 
Dinner on the square.

Too much fun!

I knew this would happen...life is moving too fast.  I haven't posted in a while.  Our date of departure is looming.  Spring is starting to really happen here.  We just returned from Paris (pictures soon).  In the past month or so, we've just been enjoying Copenhagen and our friends here.  The kids are loving school immensely, and they don't want to go back to their old school.  I am loving city living in all its aspects.  
 The lakes on a beautiful day.
 In the courtyard at one of the yoga studios I attend.
 The tree in Frederiksberg Garden where children leave their pacifiers to show that they are grown up now.  Sniff.
 A wild goblet in the Danish crown jewel collection.
 The leaders in the world championship half-marathon race.  (And some of CPH's unending construction in the background.)
 Charlottelund Beach.
 I have been teaching yoga to Max's class at school.  Here are the girls in savasana.
 Amazing pizza at Mother.
 The changing of the guard.
Spring in the botanical gardens!
