A Video!!! and glass factory trip

Sterre and Constantijn go to the International School of Basel (ISB), which is a private school and everyone is taught in English. There are people from all over the world that go there. Anyways, the school organizes trips for the parents to discover the stuff in and around Basel because there are always new people to the area. So, last Friday I went on the trip to the Hergiswil Glass Factory, just outside of Luzern. The tour itself was ok, but watching them make the stuff was really cool. Everything was super expensive! The lunch was even so expensive that Katie and I skipped out on it and walked around. That's when we took the last two photos. It was especially cold that day; the first time I've had to bring my big coat out. It has warmed up since then, don't worry.










This is a short video of Romee I took while we were on a walk. Because she's being raised bilingual, she doesn't talk as much as most kids her age. But, she understands a lot. I can tell her pretty much anything in English and she understands me, and she know Dutch even better than English.
