City Sights

One of Rachel's favorite treats while she was here was a bacondog! The Danes do seem to eat a lot of hotdogs, though I think that probably one of the main reasons is because they are the cheapest hot food available. Even so, a bacondog will run you about 27kr (~$4.50)!! The neat thing is that the bun is like hollowed out french bread and they just slide the hot dog in after squirting in a healty dose of your favorite sauce: Bearnaise, French, Remoulade, spicy mustard, or plain old ketchup. Yum!!

This gargoyle (along with several others) stands guard outside the "city hall" building. Ruby was asleep in the backpack, which is why she's harldy visible all slumped over!

There are lots of canals throughout the city and in the summer months they run canal tours through here to see all the sights. This canal is part of the "moat" around Christiansborg Slot (one of the castles in the city). During these winter months the cold air whizzes down these canals and it's freezing!!
