Europe, 3 June 2012 - Copenhagen

St Andrew

Today is Sunday, and since Ron is a preacher we went with them to the International Church of Copenhagen. Vonnie was the day's Sunday School teacher, so we sat by ourselves in the service. It was a slightly larger crowd than normal, but they didn't know why. No complaints.

Coffee Hour

They have a fairly large coffee hour, which most people seemed to attend. Dick discovered there was a CD available of the organ, and bought one from who seemed to be a caretaker and also an organist. By then we were just about the last ones out of the church.

In the afternoon we returned to the church, this time with music in hand, so Dick could have some time on the organ bench. It is a III/49 Frobenius, Op.466 built in 1956 and very nice. They were installing a new electronic combination action, which wasn't in yet, so it was manual stop setting. Fun to play, and good sound.

The Little Mermain

On the way home from the church, we went to see one of Copenhagen's most famous tourist sites, The Little Mermaid. Yes, she is little (for a statue) and very close to the shore. Interesting that she's such a big tourist draw.

We then spent a relaxing evening at home.
