A Day in Wonderful Copenhagen
Spent yesterday’s sunny Sunday back in Copenhagen with Mrs. Raboff. We checked out the Architecture Museum and then wandered along a winding path that hugs the western side of Christiania. Eventually, we made it to Copenhagen Contemporary and a great retrospective by Argentinian Marta Minujin. What a wonderfully free-thinking, unfiltered artist. Then over to Reffen for lunch: spicy Korean bowls and ice-cold Danish pilsner. We met the above fine furry friend there.
After lunch, we slowly made our way back to Copenhagen Central Station (Hovedbanegården) to catch the train home to Sweden and Malmö. Along Strøget, the capital’s main shopping drag, a hundred or so political joggers ran past us, chanting “From the River to the Sea.” Then at Kongens Nytorv, we spotted a lone troubadour singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Talk about contrasts and how they made me wonder — when will someone jog for the poor souls in Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, and Myanmar, where far more people have been slaughtered and millions continue to suffer?
Turned out to be a 30,000-step Sunday in perfect spring weather.
