‘Ello, top of the morning to all, welcome to a universe where nannies are practically perfect, penguins wear formal wear, and umbrellas are an acceptable mode of transportation. The rainy weather is only fitting as today we’re in London with Marry Poppins herself. (Plus, our umbrellas are being put to excellent use.) When we arrived at the Dining Hall it was as if we stepped through a painting, to be transported a London rooftop. There are (rather dirty) chimney sweeps and tuxedo-wearing penguins dancing up a storm.
Amidst black getups of the chimney sweeps, there is a fair share of red, white, and blue scattered among campers and staffs costumes. The fact that we are in London today is in no way diminishing the celebrations planned for Independence day. At breakfast we all said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the national anthem – and the celebrations will continue throughout the day.
There are awesome activities planned, including fencing, arts & crafts, ductigami… Campers also will have an option to have extra time in pottery so they could finish projects. There will also be the famous Simcha Spa open for business later. Today is also extra special as we are all so excited to celebrate Matti’s Bat Mitzva!! More on that later…
