I attended another extremely traditional event last week: the high school graduation of my friend Lotta's daughter Sofia. My camera's battery was dead, darn! The photo I have here gives the general idea - graduation caps and partying! Tradition involves a dinner with close friends and family that come from far and wide for the event while the student in question interrupts her partying to attend, at least briefly. The drinking that accompanies the students' celebratory travels through town in decorated trailers, far from being looked down upon, seems more likely to induce nostalgia in the older and sometimes elderly relatives. Sofia herself seemed delirious with happiness and declared her wish that this day would never end!
