Last Thursday we had International Day at DCS. Being from Iowa, Megan and I thought it'd be a good idea to dress up as farmers. Since Syria is lacking in Goodwills, we couldn't find overalls. We would have represented Iowa better, but didn't think it would be appropriate to dress up as unwed, high school dropout mothers. I did Eastern Oregon proud, though,and we went with the cowboy theme. It was a great celebration with booths from all over the world giving out traditional foods, showing off crafts, clothing, goods. I tried to convince the Italians that they should give away their leather purses, but they just laughed!
