Thanksgiving

Last Thursday the foreign Ha Noi MCCers celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a traditional-ish meal (chicken because turkey is quite expensive, tropical fruit salad instead of cranberry sauce and green bean ice cream with the pumpkin pie) and the first carol singing of the season. It was fun to be together and practice some familiar rituals, even far from home.

The group included Hannah and me (the SALT couple); Derek, Ana, Lucas and Chase (CR family); Thadyus, Tra and Quinn (Derek's brother and family who also live in HN); Hiro and Sawako (MCCers from Japan); and Max (SE Asia MCCer extraordinaire). See us in Thanksgiving action below...
