Thanksgiving wasnt a regular day this year. For one it was on tuesday for us out at km. 38. My family, my dad Russell, mom Kathie, brother James, and sister Melissa, all decided to come out and visit this week as well as Taras dad Jeff and stepmom Jane. Emily, Kristen, and Emily were back from their six week long trip from their public health program and our how was full. Eighteen people staying under two small roofs. We were full. We decided to have thanksgiving on tuesday so that taras parents could join us before they left on wednesday. It was so exciting to have everyone together. I never thought that cooking would take so long and eating would take so little time. We cooked for around 4 hours and demolished the food with in a half hour. Amazing. The rest of the week was fun. Having the family there was a lot to take in but very exciting that they could be here and see what life at km. 38 was all about. From sitting in on some of my classes, coming to pucallpa to see some of the sites (the pizza place, market, ice cream store, and hostel), to heading out to San Fransisco island to see that native shipibo crafts and culture. It was a full week filled with excitement. James helped the boys out in the field and dad took many memberable pictures. Mom and missy came to classes and enjoyed reading lots of book and helping out in the kitchen and later enjoyed shopping around in Pucallpa. Frankie was definitely loving all of them as well. He was fed five times the amount of trash as normal and had five times the amount of attention. He became a brat. It was so much fun to see my family and celebrate this wonderful holiday of thankfulness.
