Copenhagen, 1955-07-28

Did letters and left the Astoria with Otto and the ford car- our new car and driver for our jaunt. Went to Bang and looked at fur jackets.And then to jensens where Gail made a purchase. To Weavers embroidery shop. Then to Oscar Davidson's where the Menu is several yards long- all open faced sadnwhiches. Didn't think so much of this place. Then to the Permente again and then back to the astoria to pack up our things and left for the Palace Hotel where we had a rather nice room etc. Then we rushed out to the Rosenborg Palace to see the jewels etc. It was close in about half an hour so didn't have too much time.After this we drove out to the Royal Deer Park. A large building in a park- open fields with many herds of deer roaming about

In the evening we were invited to Mr Dessau's f or dinner. his son William came in to get us. Very nice and friendly. Almost everyone seems to speak English. They get a terrific lot of it in the schools. Mrs Dessau looks very young Had another son there-ROul- and his very sweet bride of a few months. She was born in Mexico and in fact IS Mexican but lived a long time in Texas. Does notnSpeak Danish. After meeting them all Mr Dessau Asked us to see his garden. He had several hundred parakets in a huge cage- like a big room- and arranged so they could fly in and out. Then he showed us his special pets Two tame Kangaroo!! They hopped out of their enclosure and like to me patted. Very tame. He has had them several years. T gave Mrs Dessau one of my little trimmed Christmas trees And to the bride a little "shelf" which was really Mexican and I had trimmed it over and remade it They werre very pleqsed. had a nice evening and enjoyed them all. Also we LIKE the Toborg beer better than ant other kind!!
