Really? It is hard to get into the feeling of today is a special
day back home when we are sitting here in 80ish degree weather with the sun
shining and birds chirping. Living near the equator is something to get use to.
The only variations in weather come from the rains and today there are no rains
to bring in a cooler temperature from the breeze. So what did we do for
Thanksgiving this year? Well, it’s not the same as 2010 when we were in the
Netherlands. That year Ashley spent the day at school taking an exam while Matt
sat at home watching TV. That evening we went and ate all you can eat shrimp
and mussles…..but hey at least the weather made it feel like the holidays. So
this year? Today was a very special day for the children of top baby class at
the primary school Ashley teaches at. Today was the celebration of the
graduating nursery school students who are heading to P1 next term. So the day
was spent with a parade through town, songs, rhymes, skits and ended with music
& a feast. So while we were not able to spend the day with our family and
friends in the U.S., were able to celebrate the day with our new friends and collogues.
