Tomorrow we return to the US of A. Crazy how this month flew by; it seems like just yesterday that we were sliding down sidewalks in Portugal. Now it’s time to go home and figure out how to pay the bills.

Anyway, Denmark has been great fun. This place has a great vibe. I don’t know if it’s caused by the hundreds of bags of Matador Mix lining the walls of the grocery stores … or the fact that they get to use an ‘a’ and ‘e’ squished together as an actual letter (æ). Whatever it is, it makes the country a rather enjoyable and relaxing place to visit. Copenhagen is a busy city, but it’s small enough that it’s managable and stress-free (at least for a visitor like me). You can get anywhere you need to go on a bicycle. And it appears to be the preferred mode of transportation. I’ve never seen this in any other city I’ve visited. With the exception of a drive to Hillerød to visit a castle, it seems like everything we’ve done has been five or ten minutes away.

Even Sweden is close. We took a train over the Oresund Bridge to spend the afternoon in Malmo with Annette. Malmo (they pronounce it Mal-muh) sort of like Copenhagen without bike lanes. Apparently it’s a bit cheaper too, so we stocked up on some licorice. I nearly had to take a knee when i tasted the salt licorice from a street vendor. It was stupid good.

So I should wrap things up here. It’s been fun posting items on this blog and keeping in touch with you all. Maybe I’ll keep this blog alive and chronicle my future travels between Montclair and Clifton and Bloomfield. Or not.

Take care and we’ll seeya in NJ sometime soon.
