CPH
59 degrees, rainy

Two quick updates about things I did this week.
 
Tuesday night: Kate Nash concert at Vega.  This was a great concert!  K8 (as my friend George calls her) is quite a good performer, theatrical without going over the top, and extremely talented.  She writes all her own music, has a really cool/unique voice, and plays the guitar or piano in almost ever song.  If you don't know her music I highly recommend you check it out.  



Next, a Wednesday study tour with my Danish class to Roskilde Cathedral.  This is the church in which  all the Danish monarchs are buried.  It is on the small side as far as cathedrals go, but it is an extremely interesting amalgamation of architecture and interior design styles.
    

During the reformation, the inside was stripped of its catholic decor --artwork, furniture, light fixtures, etc.  The Danes, being...well Danes repainted the inside more to their taste.  





Not so churchy anymore.



Just a quick update for now- more soon.
