The Round Tower and Sweden

Inside The Round Tower

The Round Tower is in Copenhagen and it's what it sounds like, a round tower.  It has a spiral ramp up to the top and you can see all of Copenhagen from it, beautiful view!  Later we took a ferry to Helsingborg, Sweden.  We took Ganne with us and just kind of walked around.  We saw Kärnan Tower, otherwise known as The Keep.  Even though we were just 20 minutes away by ferry, we had a hard time finding anyone who spoke Danish or English; everyone in Denmark can speak English.  The people wore more colorful clothing, well, more than the Danish anyway.  Because Ganne was with us, our pace was a little slower, so we had a very relaxing day.
    Yesterday we went to the Copenhagen Temple.  It's somewhat small but very beautiful.  They had translation for us on headsets for most of the session.  It had been closed for a couple of weeks and just opened yesterday so there were lots people.  Copenhagen is the temple for parts of southern Sweden so we had some Swedish there as well.

 We're on our way to Norway, the last leg of the trip.  Denmark was great!  We made some wonderful friends.  Tonight I meet 2nd cousins once removed and third cousins, I'm a little nervous.
