Photo Gallery - Visit to Copenhagen, Denmark, 1 through 4 May, 2009

The photos below were taken in Copenhagen during our visit with Laust Pedersen's mother, Gertrude, and Uno Junghans and his friends. On May

3rd, Uno and I attended an "informal" local car show on the Kastellet military reservation near central Copenhagen. The cars that showed up were amazing!
