Yesterday was the annual...
...International Fair at Meg's school. Nationals of the various countries organize booths and sell indigenous food, drinks, and trinkets to benefit the PTA, raising Euro 20k or so each year. Fun for family members of all ages, especially after recent vintages of NZL and RSA are sampled.
It is also a chance to showcase the various ISH performance groups. Meg's Hip-Hop troupe did a number, and she played the role of a servant and high priest in a far-off Broadway production of "Princess and the Pea."

Orange seems to be the in color both in Ukraine and Hamburg this week.
The Prince interviews yet another Princess prospect.
The servants awaiting orders from the Queen. HM King Constantine
will be pleased to know that Meg's big line was, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After all was said and done, a bouquet for the production's student direcktor,
Clara Bene, a 12th grader doing an IB project. Tony Award material it was
not, but one did learn that a proper princess sleeping on 12 mattresses should
nonetheless feel the pea at the bottom of the heap.
The carnival barker works the "don't close the loop" booth, taking Euros
from unwitting children and parents thinking it really was possible to get
the wand from one end of the coil to the other without touching.
Other faces in the crowd....
Leslie masquerading as an American
while flipping pancakes with her mates
in the Canadian booth again this year.
The Pearkes clan with USMMA
alum Jeff Qualman.
Oedipus Rex Ryden at the Swedish
booth.
Meg's mates Brian and Stefan. "What's
that on my shoulder?"
Martha Stewart on furlough, or
ISH's equally talented and versatile
teacher/mom Kathy Schiller??
The real South African booth was
outside 'round the barbie, testing
the "boerewor" sausages and
Stellenbosch reds.
More Ukrainian solidarity from
the Dutch? PTA Treasurer Marjon
Wanders looks pleased even before
counting the loot.
