I am with Mandy, it's interesting to learn of new traditions! <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, I always love that too. That's the bog advantage with different countries - you can explore so much. Wouldn't be any fun if it were the same all over the world...</strong> Happy mid-summer to you. I am with Mandy, it’s interesting to learn of new traditions!

Lifecruiser: Yes, I always love that too. That’s the bog advantage with different countries - you can explore so much. Wouldn’t be any fun if it were the same all over the world…

Do a lot of tourists show up for this festival? <strong>Lifecruiser: It certainly coming some tourists, but I have no idea how many, because most of the Swedes are celebrating it on the countryside with just family and/or friends, so there is no tourist there. But I've been to Skansens Midsummer celebration one year and there were a lot of tourists. Skansen is a major touristattraction and is the oldest open-air museum in the world and it's also a zoo. It is located on the island of Djurgården, a royal park near the centre of Stockholm. They also have a miniature historical Sweden reflected both in the buildings and their surroundings – from the Skåne farmstead in the south to the Sami camp in the north. </strong> Now that sounds neat.

I just came in from picking blueberries. I had to climb under the nettting and there was a firefly in there with me. Between the blueberries and fireflies, I knew it was summer! My 13 are swimming laps. <strong>Lifecruiser: That sounds nice. I think, maybe not the firefly if it was to close up... We saw fireflies for the first time in November when we were in Paraguay, it was wonderful in the evenings! Very romantic too... </strong> Yesterday was the first day of summer here.
