First week of our second summer camp is over. Time sure flew and we thoroughly enjoyed every single day.
Friday's destination was Slovenia. We learned a lot about this small beautiful country. Not only, that it is 3 hours long and two hours wide when traveled by car but also that Slovene people are nuts about climbing the hills and mountains and that they enjoy dancing polka at almost every occasion that involves folk music. We tried it out and got the kick out of it. Anoushka and I sang a traditional Slovene song "Lipa" (Linden tree) to add some authentic touch.
For the crafts we created beautiful birds made entirely out of ribbons. A very simple design with a cute outcome. The snacks was "milk rice" the Slovene way. A slight disappointment - it seems it is just to similar to Indian version of it :)
Unfortunately we were too busy dancing the polka and forgot to take photos! I can not stress enough how heart warming it was for me to see 30 Indian kids enjoying the polka dance with the most famous Slovene folk song in the background.
Bye, bye kiddos! See you on Monday. FYI, we are leaving the history behind and going back to present time visiting same 5 countries and looking at them from a different, modern perspective.
