Weekend with Mauro

Another hot sunny weekend in Copenhagen. Kendrick and I brought Mauro onto the same bike route we took last time. The three of us have the common goal of losing some weight for our respective weddings. The cafe on the beach was extra enjoyable with Mauro there. He's a loud, friendly and impulsive Italian guy who works at the same company as Kendrick. His accent is rich and apparently he has a heavy Italian accent even when he speaks Spanish. He is marrying a Spanish girl so it's funny to think that he can't shake his Italian-ness. On the ride back home we decided to take the forest route again. We were unprepared for the steepness of the uphills on the way back. Our quads were aching by the end. Mauro complained the next day that he gained half a kilo after that trip and we assured him it was all muscle.

On Sunday we met again to go shopping, but found out there are no shopping malls open on Sunday. But none. I've heard that they only open the first sunday of each month. So instead, we went to Nyhavn (pronounce the 'y' like a 'u') a popular tourist destination, and had some lunch. I ordered the fried fillet of plaice, and after confirming with Kendrick that the fish was a "thin" fish, Mauro did the same. He's really been trying to cut back on calories, but I think he's not so good at picking the low calorie menu items.
