For the first time since 1975 the summer solstice doesn't fall on June 21st. It falls on June 20th, and that ladies and gentlemen, is today.
Why is this significant to me? Well it usually isn't but for the 4th time in my life, it is. The summer solstice for most people marks the start of summer and the longest day of the year. (YEA SUN), but for me.... I usually feel sad because it means, the sun, will slowly start going back into hiding.(boooo) Actually it has kind of been in hiding for the past 2 weeks behind clouds off and on throughout the day already. Denmark holds their solestial celebration, "St. Hans Aften" in a couple days. If the weather is nice, maybe we'll go find a celebration and watch the witches burn in the bonfires.
So, I guess I'm ready.......bring on darker days Denmark...I can handle it!!

It's cloudy and rainy in Montreal. It doesn't look like the sun will come out soon.
Danish winter is nothing compare to Canadian winter:p My fiance experience a real Canadian winter in March...the snow was up to our knees!

Happy longest day of the year!
I hope you go out to a bonfire and enjoy Skt. Hans Aften!
The other day I read that half of the Danish population are vitamin-D defficient. Let's hope the sun comes out more permanently this Summer!
