Kobenhavn

What we've read is true, Copenhagen boasts lots of bikes, great food, and mobile beer carts. Adam is already envious of the inner-city biking infrastructure, with wide dedicated lanes on all major streets, large bike-only parking areas, racks in front of every building, and kickstands, covered chains, and functional design. And I've already fallen in love with the fresh Danish ingredients: apples, walnuts, creamed honey, flaky pastries, fresh juices, salty bacon, whole grains and generous loaves of wheat bread, huge salads, soft stinky cheeses, fresh chives, and sweet, grainy mustard.

This morning, we set out on foot toward Vesterbro to visit Design Zoo, a cooperatively-owned store selling the creations of local artists and designers. It was sweet stuff, for sure, but we were feeling hungry by this time, so pressed on to Edgefeld, Copenhagen's first all-orangic grocery store and then Meyer's Deli and Cafe (owned by Claus Meyers, a national celebrity chef here). We found a good many things to spend our kroners on, loading up on presents for ourselves and then sitting down for a hearty brunch in the candlelit cafe window.

One of the many bike-only ride n' park areas in the city centre.

Meyer's Club: Torn chicken, salty bacon, roasted carrot and parsnip, plus a slather of sweet peach relish.

A bit of a rest after that ruckus last night.
