Thanksgiving

Friday, November 24th, 2006

Well, we’ll all have to wait in gripping suspense for the outcome of the mayorial revote because it’s time to send this puppy off across the bleeps and blips of the world wide web to you. I’m on my way to Aleg to celebrate my third thanksgiving in Africa. This time last year Patrick, Darren and I were trying our very best to kill a chicken. Surely I wrote home about that… What a year!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Love,
Kate
