Thanksgiving was a great day! The International Student Offices set up a meal for all the Americans on campus, and we had turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and pecan pie. After everyone had stuffed themselves to the brim with yummy delicious food, they made us dance.
We had our own personal ceilidh, a troop of Welsh dancers performed for us and got us all dancing! It was so much fun, and I actually remembered doing some of those dances at a previous ceilidh. Everyone was tired after only one and a half hours, though. I could have gone on forever!
So, what was I thankful for? Well, first off, I'm thankful for a great overseas experience! Wales is a great country to visit. The people are friendly, the weather is mild, and the scenery is fantastic.
I'm thankful for all the people in the Central program! I couldn't ask for a better group of people to get stuck overseas with. Well, unless I was allowed to bring my family...and close friends...but other than that!
I'm thankful for a God who protects klutzes. I have been lost, found, injured, and healed more times than I care to count. He led me to an Orthodox church only an hour away. When all has been lost, He has been there.
Well, that about sums it up! Happy Thanksgiving from across the pond!!
