What better way to celebrate the summer solstice than by flying west and north from Montreal to Edmonton? (Well, okay, maybe by continuing on up to Yellowknife, above 62 degrees North, where it will barely get dark at all tonight — their official sunset is at 23h39 and sunrise at 3h39.)  This morning, I woke up at 6am (the sun had been up for an hour in Montreal) and got my flight to Edmonton. Tonight, the sun will set here at 22h07 local time (would be midnight Montreal time, hence the “extra-long” bit, for me).

Mind you, I went to bed around 2h this morning, so I think I’m going to celebrate all those fantastic extra hours of daylight by…having a nice afternoon siesta! Yes indeed, that’s what I’m off to do right now.

Good night! (er, I mean: day!)

P.S. I’m here for my sister’s “post-wedding party for all the Western relatives and friends who couldn’t make it to the real wedding.” (That’s right, I said post-party, which has nothing to do with postpartum, don’t worry!)
