And for that I am truly thankful

This has been an amazing experience already. The food is great. Every moment is a visual carnival. What I think has been most impressive is the gracious hospitality. Ever since we arrived, we have been escorted from place to place in comfort and style. We have seen and eaten cow tongue, crocodile, and just about any other version of beef, pig or fish found locally. The lasting impression will be of the people whom I have been fortunate enough to meet. I will remember our conversations and travels together. Our schedule has been jam packed with tours, visits and vocational tours. These are memorable, but perhaps even more so are the moments between the scheduled events. Time for jokes, brief conversations and observations about our days.

Though there are many differences, what is striking is the many similarities. We are all much more alike than we are different, and for that I am truly thankful.
