Holiday time

July is a quiet time in Copenhagen - that is, if you're any distance away from the tourist attractions. By some accounts, half of the population is on vacation in late July which in concrete terms means short lines at the post office, numerous shops with signs indicating that they've closed for 2-3 weeks or more, and plentiful parking in the neighborhood. The weather has just turned from predictably uncertain to delightful and we're looking forward to a nice weekend doing nothing special.

Mom/P and Dad/J visited for two weeks and flew back last Tuesday. Anya was alternatingly charming and cranky but mostly cute. Here's a picture with us at breakfast. It was fun to watch how her hair grew over two weeks. She and her parents enjoyed the visit with her grandparents.
