For me Tanzgiving started with an early two hour mountain bike ride with a couple of friends. I returned home to a completely peaceful house – so lovely! (Have I mentioned lately how much I love my husband?). Matt took our kids, Elizabeth and kids, and Mama Jackie and one of her other granddaughters on a nature walk and breakfast in the bush and then back to our house for a few hours of play. The girls loved Barbara (the littlest) and Anderson was fast friends with Laurenti. Ash: “There is so much that we can give them”. Great morning for all.
We then continued our Tanzgiving tradition and headed to the Foley’s for a traditional Thanksgiving feast. Once again, it did not disappoint and was a great evening with friends (but we did miss a few friends that aren’t here in Tanzania anymore).

I have so much to be thankful for, but most of all I am thankful for Matt and our beautiful family.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Wow- made my eyes water!
ReplyDeleteHello! I found your blog via the Great Google--I'm a veterinary student and I'll be working in Arusha for 6 weeks in January/February this year. I don't know anyone there, so was wondering if I could ask you all a few questions about what to expect (and what to pack!), how not to offend anyone, and what I should absolutely not miss that time of year. I think my email is embedded in the comment label; thanks in advance! Your adventures look amazing and I can't wait to have some of my own. Happy Holidays!
