A Honduran Thanksgiving

In case you were curious how a handful of North Americans might celebrate Thanksgiving in Juticalpa, Honduras, allow me to explain how we did it.

The morning began with a few of us going for a run.

That's right...Juticalpa Turky Trot 2K9

Then we cooked all day. It was a potluck. My house brought roles and veggies. Carlos, one of the Olancho Aid staff had to go the capital, Tegucigalpa, three hours away to get the turkey (pavo). In this picture is Annie, our principal, Sarah, the pre-school and kindergarten volunteer and me. The turkey cut like butter!

Carlos pointing out his personal touch to the food table to Kate, the 4th grade volunteer.

It was quite a feast!

Cheque (the common term used in Honduras to mean just about anything you agree with).

We sat around, talked, ate and later played some Apples to Apples.

Here we all are...happy and thankful.

Hope your Thanksgiving went well too.
