What's new in Guyana?

Fall 2014 Greetings during the holidays from Guyana!   It is hard to believe that I find myself in warm South America at this time of year.   I have been listening to Christmas music being played since early October and the references to snow and a chill outside are more foreign that my presence here. Let me get you caught up on my activities.   The village bustled with a 70 year old “Coming of Age” party and a wedding,   I traveled to Barbados and returned in time to share the US tradition of Thanksgiving with the school.   Finally, I have traveled to another PCV home where many of us came together to enjoy AMERICAN food favorites of the Thanksgiving holiday and, in fact, give thanks for our part in this world. Pictures to follow when I get better connectivity! My friend, Aieleen has been so supportive and helpful as I have settled into Sandvoort Village.   She is an amazing woman that was born in Guyana and lived 25 years in England, just returning to Guyana last December.
