oN THE oTHER sIDE

First impressions of Copenhagen: a wild, rainy, windy day; endless lines of bicyclists at every stoplight; a vast pedestrian shopping mall standing in for downtown; and, perhaps due to the excellence and fabulous-ity of design in this country, everything and everyone is fun to look at. It was wet when I got off the airplane, but it cleared off into a really lovely afternoon; Mary and I found our way to Nørrebro, a fun residential neighborhood a little north and west of downtown, and found (in the Assistens Kirkegaard cemetary) graves and memorials to those Great Danes Niels Bohr, Søren Kierkegaard, and, of course, Hans Christian Anderson.
