Everyone was all worried about me not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with anyone. Well don’t you worry, Peace Corps has it covered. All it took was 2 days of useless training on Behavior Change Models and we had an excuse to throw a little feast and pig out. The only thing that was missing was cold weather and big parades.
Every sector was responsible for making certain dishes of food. We had the stuffing and luckily we had the famous Coy Thomas on our team. Coy makes any chef in Manhattan look like a chump selling tacos on the corner in Orange Walk. He made 4 different kinds of stuffing including some kind of apply and sweet potato vegetarian stuffing. Delicious.
Our new temporary Country Director Bryan Dwyer started us off with some Walt Whitman that blew our minds and made us want to cry like Bryan always does. I'm convinced the man has a zen garden in his yard that he tends to each and every second he is not doing the 4 jobs that he has taken over at Peace Corps since I have arrived.I successfully got down 3 plates of food before my brain kicked in to tell me I was making a mistake. I didn't care, I still had dessert. Then the coma set in. I never fell asleep like I usually would on a typical Thanksgiving while watching the Lions get killed, but I did get pretty close.
In case you haven't noticed, I have a camera. Thanks to Cody Wells, who I know doesn't read this, but figure a shout out wouldn't hurt either way.
