Den Lille Havfrue

In 1909 the Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen attended Hans Beck's ballet The Little Mermaid. He was so thrilled by the performance that he ordered a statue erected in its honor...Copenhagen's "The Little Mermaid".

I've had a liking for mermaids for as long as I can remember, so while on a business trip to Denmark this week I knew I had to see the statue for myself. Doug and I braved the well-below freezing winds to catch a quick photo. Check back next week the see our four-country video diary!
