Gumbo was visiting the interesting Maritime Museum in Helsingor, Denmark. Built in an old ship dry dock, the architure is intriguing and the exhibits quite interesting.

Our son and three grandkids live in Denmark. The sticker shock for goods and services was everywhere and I never got accustomed to it. The oldest grandson works for a Danish travel company, traveling around the world to set up hotel and local tour attraction packages. I once asked him what was his favorite destination, and he said that was easy .... Las Vegas. Of course he is in his late 20's.

Most things I purchased in Denmark were about twice as expensive as what I'm used to paying in North America. Not sure how folks afford to live there, especially in light of their confiscatory tax structure. Vegas can be fun for folks who don't visit it often -- kind of like Disneyland for adults. But it's not my cup of tea.
