Today is Midsommarafton, one of Sweden's biggest holidays and just as all the other Midsummers in my life - it is celebrated! Here in Ghana the special feel of that "finally it is summer" is difficult to bring out since the tropical weather is constant, but the food and drinks and a few songs can be arranged. Also, I have been celebrating midsummer on the blog since I moved here:2007 I spent midsummer with some Swedish friends in Accra.
2008 I hosted a big to-do in my garden with the Swedish diaspora that was here then (and later missed home anyways).
This year, it'll be a bit more low key.

We ate smoked salmon with new potatoes (from Sweden...) and green salad. But it´s too cold to eat outside.
