If you travel to Sweden in late June don't expect to see anyone in the cities at Midsummer. For our annual summer vacation, I was making plans to spend the weekend in Stockholm with Ursula after visiting IKEA's main offices, but was told no one would be there. No one would be in the city? Nope, I was told, the whole nation heads out to the countryside to their thousands of lakes to eat herring, drink, sing and celebrate the longest day of the year. Luckily I had a Swedish friend in New York who connected me with an old friend, who invited us to his eve at his mother's lake house in Sandreda, near Braas. So we got in our rental car and drove to the country...
