Midsummer 2007

 

Holy smokes, midsummer again---the time of crazy hedonism for swedes. We restricted ourselves to getting some swedish akvavit from our neighbourhood liquor store (they had some!), and eating new potatoes and chives. We also taught Carrie and Andy how to drink snaps the swedish way, complete with the manly sound "iiiiih". If you watched swedish state television in the eighties you know what I am talking about about.

On another note, it is funny how amateurish and quaint those old shows seem now, yet how important they were to us back then. Sweden had a tightly regulated state television, and we rarely got shows that were not made in Sweden. And what shows we got were pretty odd.
