American Traditions: MNF, Chinese & Tgiving Dinners

Today I went over to a friend's house, a Disciples of Christ missionary, to watch the Green Bay Packers take on the Minnesota Vikings in Monday Night Football... at 5 PM our time, Tuesday. An exciting game ended 20-17 when the Vikings kicked a game-winning field-goal. The satellite feed was interrupted numerous times, perhaps since it was a taped show on European ESPN broadcast through South Africa. Afterwards we went out for Chinese.

The day before we had Thanksgiving Dinner at our site coordinator's house: complete with pumpkin souflet, apple pie, string beans, stuffing and a huge turkey. There were no sweet or mashed potatoes; however, with any luck we'll have them in our SECOND T-GIVING DINNER on Friday... at another missionary's house.

So, family & friends partaking in a Thanksgiving Holiday weekend: Know that I am in good hands as we American missionaries take the week to celebrate many an American Tradition.
