July 25 Day 42 Copenhagen

The day started with a little shopping outing. Willy was in need of a hat to protect his ears from the sun. It was fun getting a chance to see a Danish shopping mall. This trip hasn’t had much shopping so far.

Then we drove to the town of Dragør. This was such a sweet seaside traditional town. Willy and Karin had good friends who have one of the little houses. So, we stopped by for a quick visit. Every street and ally had all kinds of lovely things to take photos of. We wandered and enjoyed this seaside setting. Lovely. And had a chance to see or at least walk by the home where their daughter is now living. What a lovely setting.

Hollyhocks, flowers from Dick's childhood that were everywhere in this small town.  We do not see these often at home but have seen them so many times on this trip.

So many of the homes had weathervanes on their roofs. We were struck by what interesting shapes of many of them.  What a fun treat to see them!

We’ve been trying to find time to stop for ice cream for the past couple of days so this was it. Some really excellent ice cream and we got our cones and went inside and ate them while gazing out the water. A lovely summer afternoon.

Back to the house and a quiet evening which started with our picking ripe plums from their tree.  We took on the task of washing and preparing them for Karin to cook them into a wonderful sauce.

One of the highlights was also trying to focus on the amazing night blooming lilies. We finally caught a couple of them in the process of opening.  They would slowly unfold and then suddenly pop completely open. Wonderful. And then off to bed.
