11 Countries in one day!

Last Sunday we had the best day! We met up with our sweet friends Jason and Mindy and went down to the international fair in Balboa park. There are little cottages, each with artifacts from their country, and little treats! Norway house has heart shaped waffles and strawberry jam, Ireland has beef stew and soda bread, Sweden has almond danishes, Italy had biscoti, and much more! My favorite was definitely the Norwegian house because the man in charge was passionate about sharing the history of Norway with a smile! He also spoke like many in Minnesota when they are telling an "Ole and Lena" joke. (these are classic Norwegian jokes with the same two protagonists, and they cannot be told without a thick Norwegian accent, even ask my dad)

Andrew's favorite was the Ireland house because they had an abundance of food, and Irish dancers which made it very festive. Well, just thought I'd share, it was really fun and I recommend it to all!
