Pepe Lobo

So today I woke up to the sound of campaign music. This in itself is not extremely unusual but the amount of it coming from all parts of the city was. Today was the visitation of Presidential Candidate Pepe Lobo. He is from the Liberal Party so flags were flying all over the place that were blue with a single white star. Normally important people don't visit our town so it was kind of a big deal. Our kids kept running in and out of the classroom to see if he was arriving. Then during recess a helicopter flew overhead and landed on the soccer field in the middle of time. This means he is here so our kids and teachers as well were going crazy. Little things like this make La Union the interesting place that it is.

Tonight we have an American Thanksgiving party. We have all of the teachers coming to my house and I am cooking for them a turkey with stuffing mashed potatoes and vegetables. Then we are going to have apple pie for dessert. They are all really excited because no one here other then me has had a Thanksgiving meal before so it should be a fun night with a lot of preparation of food ahead of time. Also Laura and Renske are making some nice homemade bread so hopefully it turns out because it sounds quite wonderful. Only about a month till the United States time sure flies.
