Now I am fully caught up with the PAW!
Last Monday I had a meeting in Copenhagen, so I flew up there Sunday and
spent a pleasant afternoon and evening in the company of some friends,
and walking around the city a bit.
I started by visiting the Polish Jews' Club, of which my late father was
an active member. They were having a pre-Rosh Hashana get-together, and
I timed my arrival strategically so that I would miss the various
speeches etc. but still get the falafel :-) I also snapped some pictures
of the members. These people are mostly in their 80s or even 90s, and
for many the club is their only social activity. They have lived a hard
life, surviving the war and then Communism, and are now living out their
remaining years in the comfort of Denmark. Here are a couple of animated
conversations:

The weather was nice and warm, a rare event in Copenhagen in late
September, so people were out and about in the city enjoying the
sunshine. The following 3 images are from a street called Gammel Strand,
which is one of my favourite streets in Copenhagen since it has a good
photo gallery and bookshop and a dedicated beer shop with an incredible
selection.

Later, on the main pedestrian street Strøget, I saw this homeless guy's
oversized pram and equally large companion:

And finally, on the way home Monday evening, this scene at Copenhagen
airport:
