FAMILY & FRIENDS Nov 27, 10:27
Sofia Barraclough (ESP, admin team) is our coordinator of family services, helping all of us get situated in and oriented to Valencia. She has gathered together a number of team members and spouses who organize various actions and activities for the "good of the order" and just plain relaxation and fun.
Yesterday Sofia & Co. put together a typical American Thanksgiving family dinner. Despite a number of our VLC-based colleagues being away for the weekend or otherwise engaged with visitors, the usual kids sports activities, etc., 40 of our families and friends gathered at a team member's home for good food, drink and fellowship. The kids especially had a ball, and it was nice to see how well they all get on -- whether in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, or a little of each.
Come to think of it, there were natives present of at least ARG, AUS, CAN, ESP, FRA, GBR, GER, ITA, NZL and the USA. And I may have missed a country or two? Talk about multi-culti.
Good times.
Bridget Baker (NZL) and Danielle MacInnes (USA), among others,
cooked up a storm.
An American rugby ball?
New buddies -- and budding musicians.
Another bountiful harvest, and year, to be thankful for. Buen provecho!
