Out of Date

All right, another round of pictures. These ones are from July 2006 when I went to the English camp in Switzerland. I only received them recently when I went to visit the people that were in the pictures on my last post. I have a few amusing videos I might put up here as soon as I figure out how. This is the house we stayed in for two weeks. It was not very large, but it did the trick.

This was the kitchen. As you can see, a table and three people made it start to feel cramped. That fridge in the background was the only fridge we had for the entire camp. The freezer on the top of the fridge was the only freezer we had. Needless to say we did shopping every day. The fridge wasn't even that big. That is Hermy standing by it. He is shorter than I am and still taller than the fridge. Pia is on the left and Kayla is on the right.

This is our serious staff. Back row, l-r: Dale, Ruben, Dane, Hermy, Luke, Me, Kohl, Johnny, Dan

Front row, l-r: Pia, Sandra, Kayla, Chrystelle, Anne-Claire, Hannah, Dale's wife (whose name I have forgotten), and Esther

These are all the campers in their team colours. I was the blue team leader. We lost. But we had more fun.

We would often stay up after the kids went to bed and 'work'.

This is Dan in a little hat.

We served a 'traditional' cowboy breakfast, basically pancakes and sausage. Might have been eggs too, I can't remember.

I am so pretty.

This is Joakim. He has the same birthday as me. Good kid.

I have...no clue.

Ah, Thomas (left) and Jonas. Two guys in my small group, they barely spoke any English. Funny guys though. Thomas tried jell-o and vowed to never do so again. I guess he didn't like it.

That is one full dining room.

Some of the girls dancing as we wait to leave on our hike. We were supposed to go swimming, but there was rainstorms in the area, and someone had been hit by lightning at the pool we were going to the summer before, so we decided to not get our campers electrocuted. The storm passed after a bit and we got to swim after all. Fortunately for me this swimming pool allowed us to wear swim shorts. There is one here in Kandern that requires guys to wear the speed-o style swim trunks. I think I am okay if I don't go swimming this year...

This is one of the English classes. I don't know exactly what they are doing, but I am sure it is related to learning English somehow.

Ah my blue team. We are veritable fountains of good will and sportsmanship. That is code for saying we lost everything we played. But we did it with syle!

Everybody loves me.

Ain't I just so pretty?
