Copenhagen A Dream Come True -Thanks Anja

Hans Christian Anderson Blvd.
I've  wanted to visit Denmark since I found out that that is where the Carl Bloch paintings were commissioned and housed in the Friedriksborg 'castle', that the church with the original Christus and the 12 apostle statues stand and that I was going to live as close as I'd ever be so......before I left England I took a trip of a lifetime because .....
Heavenly Father blessed me to meet & work with a sweet lady from Denmark and she made my dreams come true :)  What a chance of a lifetime to have my own personal tour guide & translator!  And icing on the cake was visiting at Christmas time....Denmark is magical.
Tivoli Square

The Church of Our Lady (Danish: Vor Frue Kirke) is the cathedral of .... Christus Copenhagen by Bertel Thorvaldsen 
 Did anybody else know that there was a Temple in Denmark?  I didn't, but now I've been there :)
Anja & Lily 


Does anyone remember the Elaine Dalton conference talk where she referenced this statue? Well I did  and Anja & I were determined to find her......
On a pier in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a bronze statue of a young woman named Kristina. Kristina stands looking out to sea toward her goal to join the Saints in Zion. The wind is blowing against her fiercely, but she does not look back.

Oh the food in Denmark is amazing, new, different and delicious. I tried Aebleskiver, fransk, jorbaer taert romkugler, Kammerjunker, koldskaald and fell in love with the street vendors FRIKADELLER, yum

Carl Bloch originals lined the walls of this room just above a large chapel in the castle
Friedriksborg.....Fredricks castle



the original 'Little Mermaid'

I would go back to Copenhagen, Denmark in a minute. Especially with Anja and at Christmas even with the cold
