There are plenty of opportunities for traditional Thanksgiving dinners on the Rio, but we decided to have our own here at Monkey Bay. We all chipped in for the turkey and then we agreed on the other dishes to prepared and then used a sign up sheet to keep it organized.
Earlier in the week we said goodbye to "Worldwide Traveler". They are heading to Maine this coming summer and along the way have paid charters so they have a schedule to keep. This is a link to their website.
"Catamaran "Worldwide Traveler" Be sure follow the link to Wendy's blog. She is an excellent writer.

Our Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. We had fourteen in all and all of the food was wonderful. Jim did the turkeys on the grill, using it like an oven. We had most of the traditional dishes; mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, fruit salads, rolls, green bean salad, yams, pumpkin pie, whipped cream and spice cake.
We had also invited Kevin from town, whom we all know, and Petra, a Mayan that our marina manager, John, has been sponsoring to study tourism, and Christina, an 11 year old Mayan from San Antonio on Lago Atitlan. She is here, living with Petra (also from the same village) working selling goods from her village until school resumes in January.
