Beautiful Parks and Even More Beautiful Graveyards
Copenhagen has a wealth of small parks scattered across the city. One of my favorites is the park across the street from our apartment, Østre Anlaeg: it is not particularly large but the winding paths around its three small lakes provide us with moments of peace when we need it. It feels less of a chore to walk twenty minutes to the grocery store when I can get there by cutting thru the park; I slow down to watch the birds and notice how the leaves are changing colors. Perhaps even more beautiful and peaceful are some of the nearby church graveyards. As an added bonus, some of the graveyards nearby even have people that I have heard of buried there, such as Niels Bohr and Hans Christian Andersen!
