Party in the USA

The past week has been busy with a Sports Economics presentation and planning an AMAZING spring break trip. Other than that its been pretty tame.

It snowed here on Wednesday so I decided to take a run to Nyhavn to see the snow falling there, it was really beautiful. Its kind of nice when it snows here because unlike at home we only get a light dusting, not 18 inches. That was most of my excitement for Wednesday.

 

Yesterday I got to see Emily. She is studying in Finland and came to visit Copenhagen for a few days. We went to the big graveyard in Norrebro where Hans Christian Andersen is buried. It may sound like an odd thing to do, go on a walk through a cemetery, but its actually a very popular place to go on a jog or a walk. Its a really beautiful cemetery and it was cool to finally go there and see Hans Christian Andersen's grave seeing as its so close to where I live. 

After our stroll through the cemetery we went to Nørrebro Bryghus. It is a little microbrewery in Norrebro located right off of one of the lakes. I had never even heard of it but the person Emily was staying with had suggested it to her so we thought we would try it out. It ended up being really cool. They were bottling the beer by hand right there in front of you. So we sat down at a table where we could watch them at work and Emily tried a couple of the beers. The guys working there must love their jobs. I think in the time we were there they got about 3 beers from the bar to enjoy while doing their bottling. 

Inside the brewery...you can kind of see the guys doing the bottling

After the brewery we took a bit of a stroll around the lakes and then parted ways. It was so good to see Emily even if it was for just a short time. When I got back home Alaina, Catherine and I made another FABULOUS dinner. Burgers with cheddar cheese and an egg over easy on top with hashbrowns and a salad. Then it was off to Nexus for the night...or so we thought.


When we got to Nexus there was a huge line, so Alaina and I decided to head into the city center and check out somewhere else. We ended up going to a bar and doing some karaoke. Obviously we sang Miley Cyrus's classic "Party in the USA". I'm pretty sure we are the worst singers ever, but it was a good time!

And I leave you with some fun metro riding pictures...
