Where the sun sets at 3

Artist I'm listening to now: Nelly Furtado (songs from "Loose")

Today was an interesting day to say the least. I woke up and was filled with a spirit of contentment and for that I am grateful. Contrary to yesterday the sun was out and although the temperature was frigid it felt healthier and better
Maybe it is because we have some free days coming up and no stress to read or do anything and I head to Holland to meet Rinus for the first time. It could be the trip of trips.
It amazes me how the sun rises at 7 am and sets at 3 pm here. It is unbeliveable how the sun, which I have taken for granted all my life and sometimes cursed and ran away from is now something that I welcome and view as the one item that can make a big difference in the day and the way everyone feels. Tonight is Franziska's birthday party and it is a tropical theme so we are putting together some music from the Caribbean and Latin America and it promises to be nice.
