Ugandan Thanksgiving

Ugandan Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving America!

I've learned that one of the best ways to truly appreciate a holiday is by celebrating from afar. A bunch of us Peace Corps trainees and Volunteers are getting together for one of my favourite meals. Turkey is difficult and expensive to come by here, so we'll be feasting on chicken. Some folks have volunteered to cook some favorites like garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and stuffed squash.
I'm still recovering from a serious bout of food poisoning, but nothing can get me down enough to refuse Thanksgiving!

We had an amazing feast, complete with skits of pilgrims and Indians, games and lots of dessert on the Peace Corps compound.
