It was Monday evening when a friend of mine here called and asked if I wanted to go to Copenhagen with him and another friend of ours on Friday. By Tuesday evening, I had a plane ticket to Copenhagen and a reservation in Europe's biggest hostel. I'd say that qualifies as a part of List Item number 26, and it turned out to be quite a wonderful last minute trip decision.
Copenhagen is a city I've been interested in ever since finding this
CycleChic blog. I was fascinated by the cycling culture and how fashionable everyone is while riding their bikes through rain, snow and sunshine. Plus, the gentlemen who asked me to travel with them this weekend, David (from Australia) and Taylor (from DC) are two of my very favorite people here who I did not think I'd get the opportunity to travel with. So I really couldn't say no.
The city was just as bike - populated as I hoped it would be. Wide bike lanes on every street and people of all ages on all kinds of bikes.

We also wandered through the magical Tivoli Gardens, rode a roller coaster, went to a party with a few people D and T knew from last year, took a canal tour, and went to a couple of gay bars. And all throughout the weekend we had consistent conversations about traveling, life, Americans, growing, and so so many other things. I love the people I am meeting here and the places I get to see with them. I cannot believe how close it is to the end.
