Bicycles everywhere

Arriving in Aalborg, Denmark, just after lunch, our included excursion was a 2 1/2 hour walking tour.  Aalborg was founded in the late 900s by Vikings.  The city has the best-preserved Renaissance architecture in Denmark, laying the foundation of Scandinavian design—clean lines, proportion, and symmetry we see in today’s Danish furniture sold in contemporary furniture stores.
