Liechtenstein goes Latin





One really cool thing here in Europe is the interest and experience with other cultures. Many Western Europeans travel extensively, and upon their return to Europe, they bring a knowledge and respect for other cultures. The town of Schaan, where we are living, has a population of only 6,000. Nevertheless, there are many cultural events from around the world. We were walking around our quaint little town, and we heard some pretty killer drums, so we decided to follow the sound. We came upon a Brazilian drum band, which included mostly Liechtensteiners. It was awesome. We walked around the festival, and they had many cool activities for the kids, etc. Everett and Liam made their own drums with garden pots, they got to sit on a donkey, Everett got to get their faces painted (some Avatar/Airbender Tattoos), among other things. It was a fun day, and the boys had a blast!
