Summer days driftin' away, but oh oh the summer nights. And here in Hamburg, the days are extra long and the evenings a pleasure. The sun rises at 4:55 am and sets at 9:45 pm -- allowing for about 17 hours of daylight and 6 hours of star gazing. (In comparison, DC's sun is rising roughly an hour later, at 5:44 am, and setting an hour and 15 minutes earlier, at 8:30 pm.)
The extra hours of daylight means I can play on the unlit tennis courts until 9:30 pm and then drive home without having to put the lights on (a little awkward, but cool). It also means I can't get to bed before midnight.
