Sue's African Adventures: November 2009
http://suesafricanadventures.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 28, 2009. I'm especially proud of my pumpkin pie. I'd never made pie crust, let alone the inside from a real pumpkin. I wasn't there for the slaughtering of the turkey, although I'm sure Tom will have pictures up on his picasa page. Anyways, we enjoyed the day with a selection of Sisters from both communities, some St. Julie people and Hezbon from Tumaini (and of course Shinzi and her puppies! Tuesday, November 10, 2009. 3) The best way to see a new city is from the back of a motorcycle.
