Day 19: Training and Market Part II
After dinner, it was time for Swiss night run by Carly and Karin with assistance from the Heathers! I will have to run this during the summer so this was the first Swiss night I attended to participate and observe how to run it. First, the set-up in the dining room. Swiss flags cover the windows, flags of each province hang from the rafters and in the front the Jeopardy game is set up.

The first activity for Swiss night...learning a traditional song about Adelboden. We went over the lyrics and then sang along with the music. This song gets stuck in your head so easily...it's in my head right now...
Then, a special guest, Fritz, came to play a traditional horn instrument. The horn is called an Alphorn and is extremely long and made out of wood. The horn starts out with thin (with a reed at the top) and then grows larger to the horn that sits on the ground. Fritz has been playing the horn at Our Chalet for many years and he put on a great show.

Afterwards, some volunteers picked beforehand did a play that describes the legend of William Tell. William Tell helped free Switzerland from a tyrant's rule by refusing to bow down to said tyrant. Tell was ordered to shoot an apple from the top of his son's head or face immediate death. William Tell successfully shot the apple off of his son's head and ran away back to his home in the mountains; he later killed the tyrant thus helping to free Switzerland. The kids did a great job and had a fun time :)

Then, it was Jeopardy time! There were nine teams and I sat with a group of girls. We were the cat team because our noise was meowing haha. I actually knew a lot of the answers but I tried to not help out my group too much. The whole game was loud, competitive and fun. My team won! We won getting chocolate fondue first!

After Swiss night, I was in the kitchen with other summer vollies. We may or may not have drunken the fondue chocolate......haha. Then Cate and I went to Ham's Bistro opened specially for Sarah's birthday. Most of the spring and summer vollies were already there when we got there. I had more chocolate fondue and we had fun hanging out and celebrating Sarah's 19th birthday!

After trekking back to camp house for the night, I decided to go to sleep after chatting
