Two Chances, part 2
The celebrations keep coming and coming...
Then, American Christmas! Fortunately I was able to spend Christmas with other volunteers. It was really great, we cooked American food (Pecan Pie too! I know how, now!), had a Christmas tree (a little one, but they are a novelty in Moldova), and had fun with food colors (dying things red and green... why hadn't I thought of this at home?). Since the Orthodoxs here celebrate on the 7th of December, we went to a Catholic church in my friend's city. It was interesting because the priest was Indian, and we had an interesting dialog about our differing outsiders views on Moldova. And best of all, since I was so good this year, Santa brought me Ketchup, via, apparently Russia! Yay!
pecan pie. red and green mashed potatoes. red and green chocolate chip cookies!
And I'm exhausted. I still have to write about caroling, New Years Eve, Moldovan Christmas, and Moldovan New Year (which is yet to come). Stay tune for Holidays Part III... in the mean time, I'm going to try and keep warm!
