The Danish Royal Guard

I never think I have anything interesting enough to blog about. But today it hit me as I was biking to work. First of all, I work in a really cool part of town, and my bike ride there is also very scenic.

One of the highlights of the trip is biking along one of the Copenhagen lakes. There are a series of lakes that run through the middle of Copenhagen. Here's a pic.



Then further along way, as I get closer to work, I pass the Royal Gardens.



Right as I pass the gardens, almost like clockwork, comes the Danish Royal Guard. They often march around inner Copenhagen. I think they are heading back to where they live - near the Royal Gardens.



Everyday when I pass them, it makes me realize how much I love our lifestyle in Copenhagen. I am a city girl at heart and I love that Copenhagen is a biking town. It's flat and a relatively small city. We live very close to everything. I love being able to just bike anywhere without having to worry about parking or having money for a car. So even though you'll hear me complain about Denmark a lot, this is one area of our life here that I really love.

Does the Guard goose step? That would be really cool. It sure looks pretty there.
