International Day - Murberget
Every year in late summer we get the International Day, or International Party, at Murberget, the county museum. There's singing and dancing on the stage, a few speeches, countless picnics on the grass, and lots of street food on sale.
I always eat a very light breakfast to ensure I am hungry enough to sample the wares from several of the tables. This year the food came from 25 different nationalities. I started with Sri Lankan food, moved on to Japanese, and finished up with Arabic coffee and baklava. I'd liked to have tried a few more tables/countries (The injera bread and curry, from Eritrea, looked wonderful and I love the slightly sour taste of injera!) but I really couldn't eat a third lunch!
It was lovely to see people from so many different parts of the world enjoying themselves together,
As always we met up with a lot of friends and acquaintances, including some we got to know yesterday evening. As it usually is, a lovely day!
There are usually some wonderful clothes on view. HD (Jan) got very dressed up, as you can see in the extra, and blipped some other peoples outfits.
