On the very first day of our visit, little "O" started questioning everyone about "How long is the day?" Is there a sunset? and of course the reverse is true as well. "When does the sunrise?" "How long is night?"
The best answers to these questions is to experience them for oneself.
Eating pizza at 9:30 at night. He was wishing he had brought his sunglasses to keep the sun out of his eyes.
Every five minutes the questions would be asked again and again. After dinner we took a walk to yet another scale model of Visby. With notebook in hand he started sketching, drawing, and writing comments in the margins. Oh did I mention it's about 10 at night.
When my dad's cousin said,"Look Omar the sun is starting to go down now.
"Come On everybody! To the Mermaid Fort to see the sea put out the sun!"
From there we started running up the street, climbed the stairs to watch the day say goodbye.
and then the day was done. We had two hours of sort of dark in which the young boy closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The answer to his question about the sunrise story will have to wait for another day because you see, he slept through it.
