i simply love these people.

 celebrating julia's 20th birthday at midnight in copenhagen! some people had these awesome, massive corner rooms. a party was necessary, obviously.
 that awkward moment when you try and take a picture on my phone and it's on video...
 top of the effiel tower say what?
first day! it seems like so long ago.
today at the vasa museum. 
oh the first day. seems like so long ago, but its so short and i love them all so much already.

tomorrow morning.. in six hours.. off to russia! sleep might be necessary.

fast forward

ignore that i haven't blogged about london or paris, and let's focus on copenhagen. we leave tomorrow morning, but i love it here! the people are beauiful and so kind. we found the best place for waffles/crepes/ice cream and honestly i have had half my meals there and definitely most my calories. it was top notch and we were frequent customers as a group, all of us, so the guy knew us and started even giving discounts. holla! today we had our business visits and also a temple trip, but other wise we've just been exploring. it has been so fun, and a lot more laid back than paris or london, which is a great change.

the last couple nights we've been getting in a TON earlier and just hanging out in the hotel. i really have loved it. we even got each other's numbers one night. weird huh? we spend almost every moment together but don't have each other's numbers because phones don't matter here.

 the first night we had dinner at the institute building with some local YSAs (young single adults) and played a favorite game from freshmen year of mine- spaz. let's just say i was the runner up. and it was pretty exciting.

i honestly didn't preview the following, so beware.


then we ended up at this random turkish concert. so random. so fun. we just danced and went with the crowd.

the original Christus is here so of course we hit that up at Our Lady's Church.. or so it translates.


boar ride, so chill and fun way to see the city. 


hot dogs.. trying something local and new! lots of toppings, and pretty dang good!


business visits always have swanky things, like chocolate milk in glass bottles. thanks microsoft!


totes did this ride in trivoli gardens. so fun! and high. 


 the highlight of this trip will most likely be the temple trip. usually it is closed on monday's so we had it to ourselves and it was a really special experience.


but i will always love copenhagen for its chill nights.. and these random corner rooms in the hotel that are way big and nice that some luckies scored :) 

 

soooo tired. night.

why?

do i suck at blogging when my life is at it's peak?
today marked one week since we took off from salt lake, and since we're now in copenhagen that means four countries in one week. HOLLA! i've loved it all. and i'm loving the new, slower, less touristy pace in copenhagen. but we cranked through paris and london and got everything in we needed to.

here are some highlights:

eating mcdonalds (mcdo) two dinners in a row. #classy
bike ride through hyde park. so awesome. 
having freakin' awesome company visits. 
riding a double decker bus with no clue where we were going or where we wanted to get off. one of the few times we had time to be spontaneous. 
covent gardens. 
walking out of the metro and bam. there's the effiel tower. 
being on top of the ET at night. then racing down all the stairs from the top to make it in time for curfew. 
watching the sun set and ET sparkle on top of arc de triumph. 
lourve. duh.
running like five miles last night to make it everywhere, including back to the hotel before the metro closed.
getting to copenhagen! so refreshing. 
finding out some random festival is going on. then rocking out at the turkish concert. 

more soon. hopefully! yay for wifi now!

xo.
