Happy Midsummer

The Swede and her wannabe Swede

Yesterday I celebrated my second Midsummer in Israel. Again we met a whole bunch of Swedes, half-Swedes and wannabe Swedes in Park HaYarkon in Tel Aviv. This year I had made a Midsummer crown for myself, however not with daisies and bellflowers, but rather olive branches and bougainvillaea. Anja and Johanna had made a beautiful smörgåstårta, and we had local varieties of prinskorvar and köttbullar, plus sill and potatoes. We enjoyed ourselves, ate and drank, and played kubb. Some people I have not seen in since last year, while others more frequently. Some from last year were missing, and instead there were a lot of new faces. It was a great afternoon!
