Today was the first day of school officially. it was dark and cold this morning on the way to school. We walk about a mile to the train station and then ride 3 stops to Nørreport Station. It's a quick ride and we usually don't even sit down in a seat. I like the train because you get to see so much. We are close to the port, so we get to see the Baltic Sea and the dozens of windmills out there. Lots of really interesting architecture. I'm excited about this weekend. We are going off to explore the city all day, taking pictures and sketching the places we couldn't during the scavenger hunt.
Today, our first class was Sustainable by Design. It's taught by a young architect named Christian. He took us to the København (Copenhagen) Business School building. It was spectacular. I didn't get to spend much time on the outside of it as I wanted to, so I plan on going back, but the most amazing thing happened while we were heading there. The sun came out! It wasn't like it had been out for hours and we all of a sudden realized what happened. The second the light sprang through the clouds we all looked up in bewilderment. The city seemed to spring to life. Venders were selling Pølser (sausage dogs) and pralines, a violinist played in the square, and people were everywhere.
Here are a few photos of what I did get while at the sustainable building we went to. They are a little dark, sorry.
What: Copenhagen Business School "The Wedge"
Architects: Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter
See... in the distance... the sun!

Keeping up with you guys on your blog is a terrific way for everyone to enjoy a small part of your experience there in Denmark. Glad the sun showed you its' shiny face today. We all need a little sunshine now and then. I especially enjoyed seeing your photos of the large spiral staircase. Make sure you get Daniel to take some photos of you, Matt, along the way. Daniel, I hope you get well soon. Eat a $40.00 dollar orange. That'll fix you right up. Or drink some $40.00 Jack D. Ha. I know which you'd go for. Looks good guys! Keeping up the blog is a great way to document your adventure. Have fun and learn new things. Later, JT
