11/28/2013 Thanksgiving so far from home. How will we console ourselves?

How about by having Thanksgiving dinner with the acting U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica and his family! Holy cow what an honor. There were four volunteers chosen, one from each branch of Peace Corps Costa Rica. Let me tell you I'm glad that these folks are representing us. They are just like our family back home. The turkey and fixings were delicious and they even managed to make sweet potato using camote found here in Costa Rica. It was incredible! We played farkle through the night and were invited to spend the night at their residence. HOT WATER! If you've ever been to central America you know that hot water is only for people who can afford a heater. It's something we are trying to get in site but we need a few more weeks to gather all the parts for the solar water heaters. We feel so blessed to have been able to share Thanksgiving with other Estados Unidences. We miss everyone back home. Hope you all come down and see us soon!
