Welcome to the Special Bucket List Travel Series of Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide.   Patti Christensen from San Diego talks about one of her favorite travel destinations, Copenhagen, Denmark.

I found the water extremely cold, but the docks and the beaches were full of sun-worshiping people enjoying themselves.   There are also so many wonderful and free museums and historic sites to see. Among my favorites is Rosen
