One of the beach towns close to us held a community Friendsgiving Saturday evening. Dave and I are loving these small town events because they give the girls a chance to have a little independence with their friends in a way they don’t normally get in the U.S.

Tess got to hold a puppy that was up for adoption. There are so many street dogs and puppies here that need good homes. Will we come home with another family member????? Time will tell.

Lydia and a girl she knew from school made up a spontaneous gymnastics routine. I like this first video because of the cool surfing videos in the background in addition to the gymnastics.

I like this video because of the fun music!
