Have you ever been to a restaurant and tried an unusual cuisine? Today many of our groups had "Food Day" and as a part of the lesson the students tried a variety of sweet, chewy, salty, crunchy, spicy American snacks. Giving the students samples is a fun way for them to experience the different vocabulary words we use daily to converse about food. The best faces came when they tried Hot Tamales and beef jerky. The Polish cuisine is a mild cuisine and as such there is little "heat" to their foods. Today we also played one of the most popular camp games, capture the flag, however, not without a few scrapes and bruises. We also had on of our staff have a bad reaction to several ant bites but thankfully the staff member is doing much better and had the opportunity to call home and chat for awhile. After capture the flag we treated the students and staff to a new experience, ice cream floats. In Poland they do not have root beer so we used Coke and orange soda. The floats were a hit! (I wonder if the floats will become a regular treat?) Today also marks the tearful journey toward the close of camp. We only have two full days left before we begin our journey home leaving a piece of our hearts with the students and staff that we have come to know and love. Written Pastor James
