Thanksgiving in Soddo

Thanksgiving was a normal work day at the hospital,
but we had a meal with friends and neighbors to mark the day.
You can't buy chicken or turkey here,
so we had beef!

We had the community meal on Saturday. While the preparations and set up happened, the kids did crafts. We had perfect weather for our meal in an outdoor pavilion. After, we stayed around to talk as the sun set. We ended the evening with a bonfire- complete with songs and scary stories- like about camping with lions, bott flies, and those other strange but true things that happen in Africa. :)
