My First Thanksgiving in Turkmenistan











For Thanksgiving this year the Americans in my group decided to get together and have our own Thanksgiving dinner. It was absolutely delicious and a ton of fun. We ate way too much, sang many songs ranging from bon jovi to the eagles to outkast. After that, we headed out to the stadium for some soccer and ultimate frisbee. It wasn't quite the Fryman Family Thanksgiving with basketball, but it did make me feel at home. Overall, my first holiday here was a sucess. The first picture is my friend Nancy dancing with one of the host fathers, the next is bon jovi sing along time and the other two are just of dinner. I love you and miss you all! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
