Yesterday I went to a small museum in Ameliaborg. Ameliaborg is the
castle that the royal family lives in during the winter. There was a museum in
one of the many buildings, which held some interesting stuff. One of the
weirdest things was the American flag in one of the old kings offices. This was
given to the king on the first American independence day celebration.
There was also a room with 200kg of silver in 5 sculptures. These were
given to the king, for some occasion (I can't remember what it was, but it
could have been his 50th wedding anniversary.) Then we went to look a church,
officially, it is called Fredrick's church, but most people refer to it as the
marble church. This was a weird church because it didn't follow the pattern all
the other churches do... it was a circle rather then a crucifix. We then went
to see a nearby Russian orthodox church. I have never been in a Russian
orthodox church, but I thought it was realllllly cool. After this we took a
train to my grandparents house and we were there for along time. This was fun,
because my grandpa told us stories from his childhood. He got out his old toys
that were bought just a few years after the war. This means that the fire
trucks didn't have rubber tires, but rather metal. The hoses were paper rather
then rubber. He also told us that the toys during the war were made of
wood (so a tin solider would actually be made of wood) because of the war
efforts. This made today one of the best days in Denmark.
