Midnight Sun!

No, I wasn't that far North... but almost!  Give it another month and maybe...

Although the "daylight savings time" did throw me off a bit!  My body said 9:30pm!!!  Time was 10:30pm...

But it was a bit interesting none the less.  Sunrise was around 5:30-ish... got "light" with dawn a bit earlier.  Yet sunset was 10:30-ish... with dusk lasting till almost 11:30-ish!  Between the time change, and the long daylight, it really messes with your internal clock!  I gazed upon a big orange blob around 10pm just above the horizon... it was truly a sight to see!  Actually quite beautiful! 

People out cutting their grass at 9:30pm... going for a bike ride late, watching the sunset... it was surreal!
I never looked up at night.  I regret that.  I was far enough North that I could have seen the Aurora Borealis, if it was on...

I really enjoyed my visit!  I miss my friend!
