Tak Copenhagen!

Dear Copenhagen,

Thank you for a much needed respite from my "real" life.

Thank you for the food, from the gourmet to the comfort, from the never-ending but delicious courses to the surprisingly different take on normal food that looks and tastes good and has completely spoiled my taste buds for any other cuisine.

Thank you for your cheery people, your friendly people, your knowledgeable-about-art-but-not-snooty-about-it people, your well-dressed-but-down-to-earth people, your proud-but-in-a-good-way people, and your smiling-even-at-strangers people.

Thank you for your sunshine, for the colours it reflected against windows of even more colourful houses and buildings, for the smell of the fresh air when it is just lightly touched by daylight, for the knowledge that no matter how strong the wind blows there will always be a source of warmth.

Thank you for the memories, the smiles you brought to my face, the laughter you bubbled out of me more times than I can count, the wonder of learning something new from something so old, the give and take of it all.

Thank you for making me realize and remember what life can be like, thank you for making me feel again, thank you for making me cry.

Love,
Julie
