 The Danish are never short on ways of havng fun! |
 A little jazz band parade on the Strøget østergade, part of the longest shopping streets in all of Europe (closed to vehicular traffic). The Copenhagen Jazz Festival took place the week that we were there. |
 This is not a statue, but a pirate mime on the Strøget, not unlike the same one seen earlier in the year at Fanueil Hall Marketplace in Boston (see that photo gallery). |
 Near the main entrance of Tivoli Park and Gardens where they also had the world famous "Bodies" exhibit. |

 Certainly a highlight of the park for me was the Pirateriet Restaurant, docked in the large lake at the center of the park. |
