So, it is Thanksgiving today. Well, not in South Africa, due to the lack of Pilgrims, but in our wonderful home country. Anyway, I think this is the first Thanksgiving that I actually spent working instead of eating. However, all work and no play makes Brad a dull boy. So, after work, Zack, Amber, Rachel, Alan, and I, along with a few of our national friends, decided to spend the afternoon sliding down the mine deposits in Soweto. We had a plan, which involved two small plastic swimming pools and the force of gravity. However, that did not work out as planned. The sand was extremely soft and we only went about three feet down the hill. Luckily, our national friends brought along cardboard and with the help of Zack, he and I made it down the hill in one piece. I even came home with a couple of kilos of sand in my pants. I have so much to be thankful for!
To top off the day, I got to take my three girls out for Thanksgiving dinner and it was great! For a change we had steak, which I do prefer over turkey, and enjoyed for the first time since we landed in this beautiful country. I’ll say it again. I have so much to be thankful for!
