[Leica] Nathan's PAD 4/4/2021: my last morning in Copenhagen

[Jasse Chan]

Dear Don

Thank you for posting those pics of Copenhagen!

We lived in Copenhagen for a few years (first working for Maersk - and they
put us up downtown).  Your pictures bring back wonderful memories.  My kids
were really young, and Maersk gifted us a pass to Tivoli . . .

Your pictures made me feel like I was walking those streets again.

Stay safe!

Jasse
