Last Thursday, the entire school ended with an hour of Worship Chapel and then piled into 5 buses to go to Basel for Herbstmesse. Think of a mini fair with big halls for exhibits, rides spread out all over town, and of course food stands galore. The highlight, I quickly learned, is when BFA completely takes over the bumper cars for two hours. For one hour, the middle schoolers get to go at it, and for the next the high schoolers, followed by a quick minute of staff rides. Not that we didn't also go off and on throughout the entire two hours! So much fun!!!

My friend Amanda and I also went up in the Ferris Wheel, apparently the tallest mobile Ferris Wheel in the world. The view of the city of Basel, with interspersed carnival rides, was amazing.
The buses left again promptly at 9:30, and I was surprised how exhausted all the kids were on the ride back to Germany. I'll bet half the bus fell asleep. Fortunately, they cancel school on the Friday after Herbstmesse, and our fun in Basel was followed by a 3-day weekend! Wohoo!
