We did our best to celebrate National Root Beer Float Day. But root beer is an American invention and difficult to find in the Solomon Islands. Our German colleagues here didn't know what root beer was. When we tried to explain it, suddenly one of them exclaimed, "Oh! I've tried that before. It tastes like toothpaste!"
So we improvised with Coke, made in Papua New Guinea. And when I went to the store for vanilla ice cream, they didn't have any. So we made do with what was in our freezer at home. Boysenberry.
The girls think this is an acceptable flavor combination. I'll take my boysenberry ice cream mixed with coffee instead.
