Midsummer is a typical Swedish tradition with a mysterious background and is celebrated with somewhat weird rituals. Dancing and pretend to be a frog around a giant pole dressed with flowers that symbolizes a phallos, eating early potatoes with slimy herring, and in addition to this, stubbornly defy the rain that tends to fall. Yes, it's a tradition.
So. Midsummer anno 2011 was great, which included good friends, lots of early potatoes and "sill" and strawberries with vanilla ice cream and barbeque. We danced till the sun went down and after some more whirls and twists and "bugg" (a Swedish dance style) the sun all of a sudden rised again and there seemed to be no end of the day. Song of the day: Dancing under influence
