Midsummer's Eve 2011
Of course I miss Sweden on Midsummer's Eve, one of those major Swedish happenings that has no equivalence elsewhere in the world. I miss the Midsummer pole, dancing the Small Frogs' dance, the herring and new potatoes, the strawberries and cream - and the bright summer night in the north.
I'll make do with a pool on the eighth floor of a hotel in Dubai and a good book. My iPod. Maybe they've got strawberries downstairs. I can't upload photos to my blog from my iPhone, I've discovered. Here's a link to my hotel instead of a photo: http://www.mediaonehotel.com/
Glad Midsommar! Happy Midsummer's Eve!

Perhaps some good schnaps to go with the herring will help win the melancony.
How is the herring prepared? I love the duch way of eating the new herring "maatjes"
We all expats miss the traditions of the original country.
HAPPY MIDSUMMER, such a shame...when are you going "home".

At Midsummer, we just have pickled herring.
