We had such a great weekend as a family. Last night, the director of our school had a holiday party at his house where we had an amazing turkey dinner and pie for dessert. Everybody brought something and our coworker Troy got up early in the morning and smoked a turkey. It was such a nice time. The house is on a hill with a beautiful view and the road going up is very steep. One taxi tried to go up the driveway and turn around but got stuck and luckily there were a lot of us foreigners ready to give him a hand. Some got in the taxi to provide weight and try to keep the wheels from spinning while I and others got behind to push and keep it from hitting a small cement wall. It came within about half an inch from hitting the wall and we were finally able to get the taxi at an angle where it could back down the driveway. Foreigners to the rescue!
I had to get a picture of some of the delicious desserts!
Today we met up with some friends and went to a Katana, or sword, demonstration in the next city over from us. It is the same sword (I think) that my Kendo teacher let me hold awhile back. He was the one who led the demonstration and we were his special guests. After he showed us what to do, he then allowed people who had paid a chance to use the Katana. Because we were his guests, he allowed us to do it for free. He called up Alex about half way through the line of people and he was the first of us to go.
Alex using the Katana!
