Seventh grade geography had a big impact on Debbie. As the class went through the chapters, she thought to herself there are places that I want to go. She wanted to go to Europe. Check. She wanted to go to Rome and see the coliseum, Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. Check – Check. She wanted to go to Copenhagen and see the Little Mermaid. Wait, no check? Well, today was the day for that check.
Debbie asked Joyce. “Are you excited to see the Little Mermaid?”
Joyce said “I remember Aerial but that wasn’t really my girls favorite Disney character. “ (Evidently, Texas’s 7th grade geography curriculum was a little different from Virginia’s. )
Debbie whipped around and asked Larry. “Do you know who the Little Mermaid is?”
Larry answered as a good spouse. “Well, I believe that I do”.
By this time, Jerry had wandered far enough away for Debbie to have to shout at him. “Do you know the Little Mermaid?”.
Jerry just waved his hand in the air. (Debbie felt that he probably didn’t but was just trying to get her to drop it and be supportive of Joyce). .
Turns out that the Little Mermaid is not lonely as she seems to be surrounded by tours of people that have come to see her. They come from Asia, Europe and North America. They surround her and get in the water with her. They might even touch her.

So, for those who do not know who the “Little Mermaid” is (Please, please Debbie’s children don’t answer that you didn’t know) a cultural moment. Cultural Moment: The Little Mermaid is a bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen, depicting a mermaid. She sits on a rock by the waterside in the harbor of Copenhagen, Denmark. She is symbolic of the city of Copenhagen. (It is actually a very small statue). It has something to do with a Hans Christian Anderson story.
Next they were off to the Frederik’s Church. Cultural Moment: Frederik’s Church, popularly known as The Marble Church because it has lots of marble, is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located close to where the royal family lives.
Since the group was so close, they went to the Amalienborg Palace. This palace is the royal family’s winter home. There are four palaces. The queen lives in one and the crown prince lives in another. (This would be like living in a palace next to your mother and flying a flag when you are home. So, you couldn’t really leave without your parents knowing it). Larry took over Debbie’s role of photo bombing people that were trying to get pictures with the guard. They would run along beside the guard when he marched taking pictures. Debbie has never been prouder.
The four stayed for the changing of the guard which was a disappointment. Unless you are taller than 6 feet, you are not going to see anything. See pictures below. Here’s an interesting fact: In the summer, the royal family uses the Royal yacht to visit different Danish cities.
In the afternoon, they visited Christiansborg Palace, an island, that contains the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court and ministry of State. Parts of the palace is used by the Royal Family. You have to wear special shoes. (The group bets the Queen doesn’t wear special shoes). This includes the reception room and throne room. Debbie stood where the Queen does and it felt pretty good. She tried to sit on the throne but Larry told her perhaps that was not appropriate since they couldn’t get on the royal yacht.
The four walked a lot that day and decided to take the Metro back. Debbie made the mistake of asking the information person standing by the train where was the M2? He shouted at her that there were lots of M2. Debbie might have mumbled an inappropriate description of the info guide as she walked away. She decided that the info guide doesn’t’ really like his job and Debbie is pretty sure that he doesn’t know the Little Mermaid.
I support you in the mermaid quest! That was one of my favorite! I was really disappointed in the statue.
Exactly. I was bigger than the Little Mermaid.
