American Holidays

Halloween in Tugela Ferry is celebrated with a 'fancy dress' party. Many of the staff get together in traditional Halloween costumes but minus the trick-or-treat. Good thing Dahlia is too young to know how much candy she was missing out on. (Tania reminded us all though.) Instead, we dressed the little junebug up in her cousin Kiki's old costume from last year... a chili pepper. She looked hot! Look who dressed up as Dahlia!




Thanksgiving was celebrated in style given the number of turkey hungry Americans are currently living in Zululand. We found a couple of frozen birds in Pietermaritzburg, traditionally a Christmas meat in South Africa, and accompanied the meal with pumpkin risotto, cranberry sauce delivered kindly by our friend Kathleen who came all the way from Shiprock New Mexico to visit, and pumkin pie. We have a great deal to be thankful for this year.



We worked through the Thanksgiving holiday here but were able to take Kathleen for a weekend in Hluhluwe game reserve and St. Lucia beach. Tania and Kathleen went for a game drive and saw rhinos, hippos, and lots of bird and buck.

Wouldn't you like to see some pictures to go along with Scott's wonderful descriptions? Stay tuned... we'll attach them after we get back to India and we fix Scott's computer. Yes, we are horrible bloggers!

See you next year!
