Kulturhavn

We were lucky enough to be around for Kulturhavn this past weekend. This was a cultural festival held along the harbor in the city. So we spent all day Saturday wandering through the festival, checking out the various events, all of which were free. Since we're all living on the cheap, this was a huge perk. And the weather shockingly cooperated the whole day. I thoroughly enjoyed swimming in both the harbor baths.

The Islands Brygge bath.
I did not attempt kayak polo. 
Locks on Bryggebroen. Some have pacifiers attached to them.
This is a tradition that is part of growing up as a Dane. When children are being
 weaned of their pacifiers, they are locked or tied to something. Some locks also represent relationships,
with the names of couples on them.
A bunch of us learned to paddleboard.
I was tricked into signing up for a race, and amazingly came in second.  I won a bunch of goodies!  Us three ladies are the big winners. (And if you look in the background, you'll see my new Danish friend Lars.)
