Best of British

As the Step Team are over from England they were given the job of organising Jovenes on Saturday night, which they did very well... and the theme of the night - Britain.

We started the night playing games from Britian - Splatz (don't ask me to explain it as still not sure I understand all the rules of it). Then we did a quiz based on the map of Britain - we had to mark on the map the capitals of England (London) Wales (Cardiff), Scotland (Edinburgh), where the team are from (Wewlyn Garden City) and where Paul and Ruth Turner, the Short Term coordinators got married (Rasharkin in Northern Ireland).

I was very proud of myself that I got all these places right but then was informed they were wrong, but actually what happened was that the person who was in charge of deciding who won got the places wrong... so after thinking I was useless at Geography, realised I am not that bad. 

After the quiz we had some food - English Tea which involved sandwiches - egg and cucumber, scones with cream and jam, victoria sponge and English Tea.

There was no food left so I think that the Peruvians liked what was on offer for them. I sure enjoyed the scones with cream and jam. 

After refreshments we were treated to Scottish Dancing from Marie, Harold, Jean and Steve  - and then we were all dragged up onto the floor to try it out as well - this took me back to school P.E days when we learnt how to dance to the Gay Gordens!! Everyone seemed to enjoy this although a lot us did not actually know what we were doing! 

We were also treated to a gymnastics display by Alice (a future Olympian maybe!) and then Rachel showed us how to do some Ballet dancing. Some of the Peruvians and members of the Step Team were brought onto the floor to try out the steps that Rachel showed them - think the funniest person doing this was Paul! A budding ballet dancer there!

Saturday was also the wedding anniversary of two of the Step team members Harold and Marie so Jean sang a song for them which was a lovely Scottish song. 

After all this entertainment, keeping in line of the Olympics, the Step Team gave all the Jovenes a gold medal with the inscription 'Tengo la victoria en mi Jesus' - I have the victory in Jesus. And then there was photos and a lot of dancing afterwards to songs by S Club 7, Queen, Steps etc - thought had moved to a disco night!
