On the last Thursday of camp we went to Euro Disney Land.
I'm an L.A. boy . . . Disney land is in my bones.
Though the layout was almost identical . . . it some how didn't feel the same.
Main Street USA in France is great . . . despite what the French may say, they too have given into U.S. pop-culture.
Yet still, the wild west in French just doesn't work.
Snobby French Voice
"Mesdames et messieurs d'attention : Tenir svp dessus sur vos chapeaux parce que c'est un tour rapide. Merci "
and then:
"Helloooo there Ladies and Gents! This here is the fastest ride this side of the Mississippi, so hold to them hats -Much Obliged."
Main Street USA
The real tricolore.
Why spend 15 Euro on a picture when I can take it myself?
Welcome to the France of the future.
The day remained clear until around 8:00 in the evening -then the rain began . . .
When it stopped, we were wet, but the sky was amazing.
A Simple Jew (and co.) these photos are for you.
Disney Dreams . . .
I was feeling rather low the day we went to Disney.
By the time the 10:45 parade and firework show came around, I was wet, cold and tired.
The parade, therefore, made me feel rather sentimental . . . It brought back childhood years.
If I had wanted to, I could have cried (I'm assuming everyone knows
what that mood is like . . . where if one wants to bask in self-pity,
the tears can just spill out)
The Shliach's kid couldn't understand how I knew the words to the songs.
Oh well.
END OF CAMP
Motzie Shabbos we made a grand raffle and play.
Shmuli raffles of his old hat . . .
. . . and my camper Benya wins!
Our Staff play was about a young man, searching for truth in this insane reality we call life . . .
Searching, always growing, always learning . . .
He first stumbles upon a new age group . . .
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm. Ummmmmmmmm."
" Let us go and greae the great spirit of the Great Granola Bar and walk upon coals in environmentally friendly shoes."
Next he goes to a Karate dojo/ Sushi Bar
"To join us, you must break a chair with your head!"
. . . a Gospel choir.
"Sing with me my Brothers!"
. . . A U.F.O. cult . . .
"I have had a dream, an Alien came to me! His name is oooh aaaah boing ee boing ee boing 9 fom the planet Gwuup . . . "
" . . . He said that they will destroy the world! The only way to be saved is by transferring all of your bank accounts to me!"
Our hero tries a revisionist synagogue . . .
"Let us read from our Torah -Time Magazine . . ."
Hagbah -"V'zos harabbi asher sam Moshe . . ."
At last he comes to a true home . . .
CHABAD! L'chaim!
The Bonfire:
Har Sinai (from arts and crafts) goes up in smoke . . .
