We played a great card game that was easy but interesting for all of us, out of the SOTW Activity guide. It was to demonstrate what France was like under an Empire, a Republic, or a Kingdom. Aces (Napoleon) were worth 20 points during the Empire phase, and -10 during a Kingdom phase, and +1 points during the Republic phase.

April activities
I wish I had taken more photos, especially ones of the fantastic Mexican feast. I am still craving tostados today, with that queso fresco. Recipe please!
Meanwhile, some photos from our day:
Demonstration of how to make a Mexican flag flower.
Here, Lewis and Lewis and Clark (we only had one red-haired Clark), and Lewis' dog, Seaman, set out on an Exporing Adventure to the Pacific Ocean, otherwise known as the local Catholic church.
Sacagewea and her retinue.
The explorers arrive at the Pacific ocean (only losing Seaman once, bravely recovered by an explorer).
Maia dubbed this photo something along the lines of "The explorers thank the Lord for a safe journey." I can't remember her exact words, so post them if you do.

Scenes, and more scenes, from a Russian village. There were heard lots of versions of "If I were a rich man" and "matchmaker, matchmaker."
