Nearly posted this earlier but decided not to since I figured somebody would eventually. Visited there when we were in Copenhagen during a deployment in mid ‘68. Good time until we got recalled to help repel anti war protestors. Fire hoses strung out all over the ship. It was a squirty kind of thing. Even ran into the brohter of a high school buddy from Albuquerque there.

That settles it! This "Tivoli" amusement park is the place for me - and my family of 400-lb, Spandex-wearing, Nascar-lovin' Walmart patrons! Of course, we're not as physically fit as we used to be - will have to putt-putt around in our little motorized tricycles, with the oxygen tanks strapped to the back.

Tivoli, here we come!

Yee-hah!

There was a version of Tivoli Park in Kurashiki, Japan, from 1997-2009. I went there some time in 2005; it seemed like a smaller, slightly-Japanized version of what Tivoli must be like, since I’ve never been to the original.

Visited Tivoli in 1976. Best memory was a place where you could throw balls at fine china from the local factory. No prize. You just got to smash a bunch of dishes, bowls, tureens, etc. Extremely cathartic.

The street in Barcelona referred to is plural, not singular: Las Ramblas
