Thanksgiving in Benin

For Thanksgiving proper, I stayed in Fo-Boure, taught 2 classes of English, had a nice lunch of igname pillet... in short, it was an ordinary day in the bush - though I admit to cheating and towards the end of the day I broke out my Christmas playlist on my ipod and thus announced the beginning of the Christmas season a few hours early with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir... not too shabby, if you ask me. The real celebration was to be that Saturday, when our TEFL group started to arrive in Parakou for our weeklong workshop....I don't feel like continuing this thread today....later
