November 28, 2008

My Thanksgiving was productive to say the least. I spent the entire day working on my house. It is almost finished and looks really nice. Livable even. All I have to do is paint the trim of the bathroom and move everything in. My goal is to move in tomorrow. I don’t think that it should be a problem. After I finish writing this blog I am going to go to Machala to make more purchases. It is costing me a small Peace Corps fortune (which is significantly less than a regular fortune), but it is worth it to turn this place into a home.

In the evening I went to Machala to eat dinner with my fellow volunteers. One of them had cooked a lovely dinner of chicken stuffed with ham, cheese, and spinach, mashed potatoes, and for dessert, apple pie. It was a lot of fun. I must admit, I wasn’t exactly the life of the party. I was so tired that I spent most of the evening sitting there like a zombie. Still, it was fun and nice to do something special for the holiday.
