hello olgeta
It's late on a Wednesday evening, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Alex and I are in the middle of a four-day workshop. A PHAST workshop with my host family's village. The workshop has gone quite well, better than we expected. There's been a good turn out and lots of heated discussions.
I learned new bislama slang today - 'bed i glis' - which translates literally to 'the bed is slippery' and means a person is having trouble sleeping,
There seems to be an abundance of vegetables here lately. Both coming from our own garden and from our friend's gardens. We have been eating at least one green bean based meal each day for at least a week or two. We had watermelon two days ago. We received a pumpkin today. We have had regular access to tomatoes and bell peppers and basil for weeks. We've even been averaging at least one egg plant meal every week since we returned to the island. Not that you guys really care about our vegetable consumption, but it's special to us, and fun to write about for whatever reason.
We don't have any special plans for Thanksgiving, but we will make everybody in our workshop give thanks for something.
