International Day at the International School of Berne

Hello everyone! It's been a very busy past week. I have quite a few adventures to post. Just a quick note, we have still been picking raspberries and I have made 5 batches of jam! I think we are finally at the end.

On Saturday the 20th of June, we attended the International Day at the school where the boys went this past year. There were 20 countries represented and each had a booth and sold food and miscellaneous items. They were supported by their embassy. All proceeds went to the PTC - 18,000 CHF.

Devin's French class had a table and sold pastries and recipe books. I don't know how well they did but the boys from his class definately worked very hard that day.
They had a parade of the flags. It is amazing how culturally diverse that school is. It was fun to see everyone and to try all the different types of food.
At the stand for the U.S. A., they were selling Rolling Rock beer for 4 CHF. We had to get one. It's funny, in the U.S. there is no alcohol allowed on school premises. Here it can be sold like soda pop. They did have a sign that stated that any alcohol bought or sold had to be by an adult (over 18 years I assume).
