Friday, Jan. 23, we got our first glimpse of the sun since the end of November. It's difficult to describe how wonderful it is to see it! Though we never had days with no sunlight (like Svalbard--they won't see the sun for another month, or so), it is very special to actually be able to see the sun itself. It is customary to celebrate this return with the consumption of solbollen--"sun buns"--which are actually jelly doughnuts. The international students had a get-together at the cultural center to celebrate the return of the sun.
