Traipsing, miscellaneous Danish, etc

Out of my travel-reading-book:

"Out of a billowy upheaval of vivid green foliage, a rifle-shot removed, rises the huge ruin of Heidelberg Caste, with empty window arches, ivy-mailed battlements, moldering towers-- the Lear of inanimate nature, --deserted, discrowned, beaten by storms, but royal still, and beatiful"

- Mark Twain A Tramp Abroad p.9

Today has been a bit long. I like people, but I also like quiet, and I think I am repleat with both sight-seeing and human interaction.  Went off to explore the city with a friend I'd maid. We were very lackadaisical and so missed seeing Christiansborg slot ruins (ruins from two previous palaces/fortresses that are underneat, including Bishop Absalon's original fortification that put Copenhagen on the map in 1128 or so). That was sad.

More traipsing, getting back close to 7 (so about 5 hours of traipsing). She talked nearly the whole time, which hopefully is not habitual. Typing some, labelling pictures.

Apparently Danes are known for their milk, ice cream and open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød).

The air here is surprisingly arid. It has been windy, but I assumed that was just due to storms. One of the local mathematicians said that no, it's constant. Thus, aridity? I mean, this is a harbor. It should be wet, no?

As a result, I´ve been drinking about 3 litres of local water a day and wishing I had lotion (like the desert but greener and rainier. No serious storms, just little drizzles here and there).

Also! Nigh impossible to wash stuff out of your hair. I am going to borrow someone else´s shampoo and have a go at it, and/or go find the supermarket and buy cheaper shampoo than what I have. Or maybe a Netto (like biglots but not big) 

Odd stuff:
*Seems like Danes overall start going bald earlyish, I'd guess 30s.
*There was a train on the street. A little kiddy-sort of train, with tourists. Say what???
*I saw a woman with knee-high leather boots and a tight skirt with a bike. These people. Talented.
*One of the guys I tangoed with on Saturday is a postdoc in Math here in Copenhagen. S'funny.
