My daughter and her family moved to Denmark for business almost two years ago. It turns out they love it and they're not moving back. So, Ms. Tharmas and I bit the bullet and traveled there to see them where they live now, in the smallish (50,000) medieval town of Roskilde, about half an hour west of Copenhagen on Denmark's first-class roadways.
We did all the touristy things, like the Viking Ship Museum:
And the cathedral:
I'm fascinated by medieval cathedrals, and this one (circa 1200 CE) was unique to me because it was constructed with brick instead of larger stones. The lack of stained glass gives it a "Danish Modern" appearance. The organ dated from the medieval period as well. Note the gargoyles:
But the real reason we went was to see the grandchildren, who are in Lego Heaven;
All they want for Christmas is more Lego sets.
We had a great 10 days in Denmark, a country that seems to have done everything right in terms of creating a civilization.
