Kongens Nytorv, København
In the winter, the sun sets at four (16:00) here. We were eating a late lunch outside, trying to get as much sun as possible before it disappeared for the day.

Bike Lessons, Enghave Plads, Copenhagen, Denmark
My sister arrived a week before Christmas. She wanted to bike as the Danes do, but she was also unsure of her biking abilities. So we practiced on the plaza that once held a giant chestnut tree, now torn down to make way for a new metro station.

I accidentally left my camera at the party. My co-worker Brian, part of the morning cleaning crew, took this picture.

Nykredit Offices, København By Schmidt Hammer Lassen (2010)
On Kulturnatten, this building was open to tours. We got some complementary pumpkin soup, then went inside. Of course, the tour was in Danish, so I understood nothing.

Frøsilos & Bryggebroen, Islands Brygge, København By MVRDV (2005) & Dissing+Weitling (2006)
I pass by this building and cross this bike bridge at least twice weekly. It is one of those landmarks that, by being part of my routine, I always failed to photograph. So here it is, from a few months back, on Kulturnatten.

Still Breathing, Still in Copenhagen

I have, once again, failed to update this blog. I figure that’s a good sign, that my life has been interesting and busy enough that I forget to document it, to process it. Quite simply, I love my life in Copenhagen. I love the friends I have made. I love my neighborhood. I love how comfortable I feel here.

Looking ahead, I can already tell that I will return to Austin a different person. More confident, more mature, more willing to try new things. And I’m already planning my return to Denmark. One month left. That feels so strange and sad to say.
