Hope you all had a lovely thanksgiving!! Here it was a festive affair. I spent most of the day on the couch as I had been out late saying adieu to one of my French friends who has left Khartoum for good! Then, a quick stop at the veg stand for 4kg of potatoes, a quick stop at the store for butter, milk and frozen peas and I was on my way!
Sureka (colleague) had a bunch of us over for dinner. The photo shows part of the crowd...there were a few more (5 or so) who came later. You can see our bountiful feast!!! (Check out that mountain of mashed potatoes!!!)
You can kind of see--we have two turkeys. One came in Sureka's luggage from the US and the other was brought in by the Embassy. It's from Brasil. The carver named him Paolo. :-)
So after hours of eating and sitting around we had several pumpkin pies....yum!
Last night was Salsa Night at the rec site--so another fun evening. There were some Colombian dancers here (don't ask me why) so they did a little show, then we had some quick lessons. Then it was just dance, dance, dance. Not a bad weekend overall. No football (not that I really care) and it's back to work tomorrow!!!
Miss you all,
Jane
