Training day in Copenhagen

The course went very well... Michael took me to his favorite lunch spot. He always gets the mussels there, something I've never tried, until now. I had no problems with them, but maybe not something I would go out of my way in ordering again. When the course was over, I walked around some of the shops on the Strøget. This is claimed to be the longest pedestrianized street in Europe...I'd beleive it. I love my Ecco's.

Now that is what I call a bike rack...


Later in the evening I decided to venture out and see what the streets were like at night. I passed a club playing some caribean music, peaked my head in and found they were giving mambo lessons. Then later a live Cuban reggaeton act (Aliaza I think). Never understood a word they sung but they had very good harmonies and rythms! When I finally left it was snowing and the city was so beautiful. People were still riding their bikes through the slushy snowy downpour, at midnight! By the time I made it back to the hotel my wool coat was covered with big fluffy snowflakes, I looked like a snowman.

I think mussles are an acquired taste, I've tried them and they have been good but I agree it's not something I'd go out of my way to have either.

It appears the Mambo is everywhere though...that was funny.
