Solstice - not just for Druids anymore!

Summer solstice seems to be a BIG deal up here. As it should be - light all night long! It is neat to be able to walking around in the middle of the night in broad daylight, I have to admit. The light all night long is one of the things that is apparently a problem for newcomers, but fortunately it doesn't seem to be bothering us at all. This is the flip side of the all-day darkness we will be facing at the winter solstice.

There are formal and informal festivals and parties all over the place, one of which we will be going to tomorrow. Downtown Anchorage is hosting some kind of hootenanny, which we will report on as events progress.

More tomorrow night!
