Fargo

Kristin and I are now in Fargo, North Dakota. Well, technically it is Moorhead, Minnesota, but they are right next to each other. The drive was easy, it went quickly, but it was also strange how few towns there were along the drive, and how few drivers there were on the road. I do have to say, it was nice being able to set the cruise control for the whole drive and not have to constantly slow down for a nice, elderly couple from Iowa.

I suppose the most notable part of tonight's drive was how late the sun set, how long the sunset lasted, and how the twilight lingered on even after the sun was completely gone. It reminded me of the sunsets that I remember from England, where the summer sun just seemed to keep hanging on in the sky after sunset. The official time for sunset in Fargo was 9:25pm, but the sky was still bright and orange until 10pm. Then there were hints of sunlight left until about 10:30pm.

This isn't my picture, but it's from the same drive and looks pretty similar to what we saw:
