Thanksgiving, Pt 1

For our first Thanksgiving away from the States, Sam and I traveled from our town of Sisian to the closest real city: Goris. Goris is a 45 minute taxi ride from Sisian, through beautiful hilly country. We didn't pass through a single town or village for the entire trip. We left Sisian on Friday afternoon and stayed in Ina, an A22 volunteer living in Goris, on Friday night. The Grand Thanksgiving Dinner was planned for Saturday evening.


Because we were only minorly contributing to the dinner itself, we decided to prepare breakfast for the group of early birds congregating in Ina's apartment on Saturday morning.


 We had all the ingredients to make buttermilk pancakes- even some real maple syrup!


So, away we went! Well, truthfully, away Sam went. 


I just helped by making an apple compote to help stretch the precious maple syrup.


In the end, breakfast was delicious, and earned up the title of Pancake Masters. 


To be continued...
