Thanksgiving Footnote

*hey. I forgot to mention that on Thanksgiving I took a trip into Europe. I went to Krakow, met up with my friend Brittany in London and then we went to Amsterdam. It was fun. After that I came back to Odessa to spend Thanksgiving weekend with other PCV's. It took 2 buses, an hour of hitch hiking, and 3 hours to get to Eileen's village. We killed a turkey, chopped wood for heat, and sang the Star Spangled Banner for our Ukrainian friends. I also drank a lot of home made wine with Emily's host mom, Ina. It was one of the most memorable moments in Peace Corps. :)If your reading this, send me an email and I will tell you more about the smugglers on the train coming back into Ukraine and how the UA boder guards almost didnt let into Poland.*
