Beatles and The Midnight Sun


The evening began with our second dinner at Lattitudes- the Indochine restaurant. It is like a Tapas meal because the portions are small and you just order, eat and keep doing that until you are full. Wonderful food!

The Atrium was decorated with flags from England, Ireland, Scotland symbolizing the "British Invasion" of the Beatles. At 9:30 the dance party and pub gathering started. People were on at least three floors, the music was great and we got a prime seat to sing, clap, and enjoy the party. This ship does so many creative things for passengers to enjoy. There was also a Seinfeld movie going on in the theater for those who didn't want to dance and sing....or remembered the Beatles. 

We returned to our cabin at about 11:00 and I had a great time reading and watching the sea go by. It was not exactly warm outside but it was not so cold that I couldn't sit outside. All of a sudden I realized how very bright the sun had gotten. We are used to the sun rising in the east and setting in the west but for these few months the sun just hangs around and runs in a little circle.  They say folks have trouble sleeping or sleep too much during this time. I seem to not need as much sleep as normal. Strange! But the sun was beautiful. You would think this is a sunset picture but in fact the photo was taken at 1:15 AM on July 4th.

We would really really like to see what you are seeing -- the sun going around in circles instead of rising and setting. Mommy says she guesses there must not be a green flash.

Christopher, You are right- there is no green flash
