Happy Solstice! Thank goodness, we have finally reached the longest day of the year. This shows the night sky at 11:00 pm and 11:45 pm on the solstice. The sun rises slowly again by 4:30 am. That's about 18 hours of daylight. Crazy. The boys are a little confused with time. The long days in summer mean long nights in the winter. Everyone keeps telling me that we will be lucky to be home by winter.

Holland played their last pool game tonight. We went out around 8 pm on our bikes around town to try and find "orange people" [what we call them]. Those are the wild and crazy Holland fans dressed up for the soccer game. I think we were too early because we didn't see as many people heading into the pubs as I did on Saturday. We did see police setting up areas for lots of people near the Beestenmarkt - maybe the revelers after the game? Holland tied Argentena 0-0. They are through to the final 16.
