i know you all probably feel pretty sorry for me, being so far removed from america and family and all the things that typically make thanksgiving a day to be thankful.but do not worry: i just had the most amazing thanksgiving of all time.
the american ambassador invited us to his house for thanksgiving. and you just cannot pass up an opportunity like that. it took us 12.5 hours to get from wa to accra on wednesday.
embassy workers housed us. it was like entering an entirely different world. i didn't even know this world existed in ghana. hot showers, freezing air conditioning, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, bacon, internet, fluffy towels, washer and dryer...and this is all before we even got to the ambassador's house!
dinner today was amazing, everything that thanksgiving should be. friends, food, oh good times.
so, i feel sorry for all of you, not the other way around!
yay! a photo! what a thankful perspective, too. :) but it will be awhile before I'm thankful for air-conditioning again...
ReplyDeleteyour picture is amazing. yeah, that's because i took it.
ReplyDeleteOh, nummy. There's nothing better than a Thanksgiving dinner cooked by someone else. This year, I didn't cook. This year, I didn't eat turkey. This year, no one else that lived with me ate turkey either. It was a good Thanksgiving. I'm thankful you ate well, had hot showers, ice cream, cookies, bacon, washer and dryers, and fluffy towels. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feast! Thank you Arjun for taking such a terrific picture of two beautiful young women. Food is a big incentive for another travel adventure. Thank you Joy for posting this picture. Thanksgiving is about friends and family and giving thanks for the life around us.
