With this weekend being the last time a group of our friends would be able to get together before we move, our Canadian friends suggested celebrating an early Canadian Thanksgiving.  Katie and Steve hosted, and they definitely know how to host a great party.  They made delicious poutine, held a chip tasting contest (where the prize was a plastic deer head), and had a Canadian trivia contest.  We all dressed in flannel or the infamous “weekend shirts” (denim shirts) that the Cooks like to wear.  One of the best parts of expatriation is the bonds you form with fellow expats because you are all going through the same thing, and you don’t have family around.  We’ve made some great friends here that I hope will all continue to be close for a long time to come.  I will miss this fun group so much!!
