The First Thanksgiving.

Can't lie: I have been dreading the holidays. Can't lie about this either: Initially, when all of this "moving to Africa" stuff seemed more theoretical than realistic, I was pretty excited about celebrating holidays as a small family in a foreign country. Then, theory became reality and since the day we left the States, I stopped being excited about holidays.

But this is the truth of all truths: we have an amazing team here on the island who helped make Thanksgiving wonderful and eased the sting of being so far from family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Of course there was football; we're still American.

So sweet!
