Canadian Thanksgiving, Balinese Heat

Canadian Thanksgiving, Oct. 13, has definitely been a highlight of my time here in Bali. I went early in the afternoon to Barry and Geri's place to help set up, and then we went for a nice, perfect relaxing swim. Yes, swimming on Thanksgiving. Why? Two reasons: #1. Because I can. #2. Because its a zillion degrees with 157% humidity!

The meal was perfect. The turkey was done on the barbeque and was so great, there was purple sweet potatoes, stuffing, pickles (I brought them), pumpkin pie, apple pie... practically every Thanksgiving thing you can think of, even cranberry sauce! I ate sooo much I could hardly move. If it had been in Canada I think I could have eaten alot more, but with adjusting to regular smaller portioned meals here,and the heat I ate less than I would have at home.

The company was great as well. There was myself, Barry and Geri and their son Quinn, and another family with 3 kids from Alberta, and a woman who lived in Calgary with her two sons who are Indonesian-Canadian. It was alot of fun, definitely alot of "ehs".
