Reppin' the Motherland

Visa Status: NADA. Just over 1 calendar month. 21 working days.

If I can't be in England, I might as well teach others about England!
My bff Rachel asked me to help out at her elementary school for "International Night." They needed someone to represent England so of course I was happy to oblige.

I think I went a little bit overboard with my tri-fold posterboard and detailed info but I had so much fun putting it together. Plus, projects here and there are a much appreciated distraction.

(I'm not sure why Israel was hanging with Europe, but they had yummy food!)

(The finale was traditional dancing.  This was Peru)

Very fun time! Loads of amazing food made by the international families represented there. My favorites were Ethiopian, Polish, and Portuguese. Nom nom nom!

In an unrelated story, Kieran got us a mattress to fit our king size bed frame. It was a pretty hilarious story whereby Kieran's dad was offered a brand new mattress on offer from a mattress delivery guy cause he had extras in his truck. Long story short, we got a king mattress worth 800 or 900 quid for 150 pounds. Not too shabby! I found the story quite amusing. At least if I ever get to England I will have a nice bed to rest on!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far!
