On Saturday, February 16th we drove over to the school a little after 10:00 a.m. to drop-off the past month's recycling and hopefully arrive well before the crowd gathered at 11:00 for the "International Fest" at ISKL. Ooops, much of the crowd had already arrived and we barely found a parking place in the faculty lot around back.
"The Fest" was a grand occasion, with a staggering number of international food and craft tables that were already in business, or just getting set-up when we arrived. We decided that Norway ought to win the "Creativity Award" with the x-country skiing competition that's pictured above. We loved the Taiwanese dumplings, the kabobs-on-a-stick, and a moist, delicious chocolate cake that we took home for Sunday dinner. It was fun watching the international parade with an adult drum corps leading children carrying flags from dozens of foreign countries.
True to form, in addition to offering some tasty baked goods and the miscellaneous items pictured above, the American contingent sold hamburgers to those who were nostalgic for the good 'ole U.S. of A. - rw

Not quite sure how to "eart" my way around the world. Maybe I learn how to do that when I'm all grown up.
