Frederiksberg Castle: May 20

I saw visiting mother for the last time on Friday. We went to Frederiksberg Castle. It was pretty beautiful. A toned down, more homey version of France's Versaille Palace:











She made us sandwiches and bought prayer day scones (scones filled with chocolate chips) for the both of us to eat at the park. And as a goodbye, she even bought me a book about Denmark.

I really enjoyed my host mom. She was quirky and cute, different from other Danish mothers I have met.

"Prayer day...yeah I don't know what it is. It's just a day I get off from work." (Prayer day is actually all the Saint holidays put together in one holiday)

"My daughter has no time for me. And I think it's because of her goddamn horse. She visits it more than me!"

"This is kind of boring, because they are all paintings of people I don't know."

Unfortunately I already forgot the other funny things she says. But I enjoyed her company and I am so glad I chose to have a visiting family during my stay in Denmark.
