a hotel in a nearby town for what is called hub day. Basically, we
have training sessions all day long on our job or health or saftey and
security. It was perfect then that we were all together on
Thanksgiving day. Every week the Peace Corp assigns 2 current PCV's
to come to our training sessions and help out. This week these 2
girls wanted to make sure that we got a good Thanksgiving meal to have
since we were away from home...they succeeded.
We had garlic mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, corn on the cob,
chicken gravy, 3 kinds of jello, chocolate cake, and funfetti cake.
Granted the food still had the taste of Ethiopian food and it wasn't
exactly the feast we would have at home, but it was still incredible.
Also, the PCT's are divided up into 4 towns and so we had 2 of the
towns dress up as Indians and 2 of the towns dress up as pilgrims.
Our town drew the pilgram town and we went crazy with that, complete
with hats, belt buckles, aprons, ties, and muskets. If you get my
emails maybe I can send some pictures of the event. I'm sorry that I
couldn't be with my family in Tennessee watching Alabama beat up on
Auburn, but this was the absolute best alternative.
