Mostly Spain - Birthday In Copenhagen. What Is Divisible By 11 and 22?

 Answer to the question - What is #3's age on this birthday?

There were not big celebrations. She felt coming up was a treat. We were happy to do so and get to see the whole #3 clan again. 

After the stress of our flight to Copenhagen, we wanted to be pretty chill for the most part. On Saturday, we went for a leisurely walk along the waterfront. Copenhagen and Denmark have a strong connection with the sea. It was an interesting contrast with the sea front in El Campello, From what I could tell in Copenhagen, there is an aggressive attitude toward the sea. By that I mean, people, of all ages are getting out and doing things on the water. And they are doing them with an expression of vigor. Maybe it is because for so many months of the year it is too cold to do anything so the activity is more frenetic when the weather allows it.

In El Campello, there was this languid attitude. Most of the activity was people walking by the sea, enjoying the ambiance, eating, relaxing. There were those occasional times folks went out for activity, but nothing like what we saw in Copenhagen. Am I a victim to classic stereotypes between north and south Europeans? Maybe.
