Thanks for dropping in and reading this last post. I'm busy brushing up on local history, because as you may remember we are going to be hosting the 2011 Esperanto World Congress in Copenhagen and we will be showing people round town. So naturally we need to have a few facts at our finger tips. This also means that I'm rewriting these entries in Esperanto.
My next one will be about beer.

10 wars between 1653 and 1809, but some of the wars went on for years.

And we think something's old if it's reached the century mark...
I'm glad the Swedes and Danes are getting along now.

Another brave man. Thanks for expanding my knowledge of Northern history. I'm so much into antiquity, I often neglect that.
