Coming back to Copenhagen from a week long travel break was actually relieving at the end. When the train landed in the central station I felt comfortable. It truly felt like I was coming home. I felt like I belonged. Copenhagen is so understated. It says nothing yet it says so much. I felt kind of inspired to fall in love with the city again so on Monday I decided to go big Copenhagen style: I grabbed my bike, my friends, the sun and we headed to go see the Little Mermaid!
My school is so close to her that its kind of silly that I hadn't gone before. I have just been so busy doing so many other things lately!! Now, if you have been reading you would know that the Danes love going outside on nice days. We bought a couple of beers and headed to the mermaid, which is actually in an old fortress area full with green space and beautiful views of the water and the city. Inside is calm. It's very beautiful. You can go up the mound, which in itself is a huge commodity given that Denmark is so flat, and snake your path around the water. The mermaid is only a small feature on this complex. But what a feature it is. It's not small, but in a world used to huge commemorative statues, skyscrapers, and big processional arches, she comes off and tiny. She is pretty much my size.
She is actually right in the water, you have to get off the way to touch her and hop a couple of rocks to see her. She is the cutest. It was a nice day and it's nice to be back in Copenhagen!
