gobble gobble!

abbe ewell -reporting from liberia, a place where 'thanksgiving day' is celebrated on the 1st thursday of each november! yep, i missed it by one day when i arrived almost 2 weeks ago so now i'm here and there's no turkey or family gatherings in site! haha

it's been a great day though - i can say that on thanksgiving day in 2007 i hand-washed my first bit of laundry, ate cold oats in evaporated milk for breakfast, trimmed my finger & toe nails, ate an orange the liberian way for the first time, went in a cab to the city center all by myself for the first time, ate a Bounty candy bar that i smuggled in from the UK and was thankful for it's existence, and had a 'feast' for dinner that contained all 3: beans, rice & sweet potato (usually you just make 1 per meal)!!! hope everyone was able to enjoy time with family and friends, or atleast that you were able to marvel at small meaningful accomplishments as i did!
