First Snow & Host Family

---

The novelty of snow will probably wear out soon. Kratovo, my new city is really cold and icy. I will be moving there in 2 weeks. I'll miss my host family. They have been extremely warm and helpful to me and are absolutely hilarious and loving people.

Cuttin' up some veggies and making Russian salad.

My Host Brothers
The one on my left is Nikola and the other is Simon. Nikola is studying economics in Prilep & Simon is still in high school but is super involved in theater & the Red Cross.

Saint Dimitri Name Day
In Macedonia there is a name day everyday of the year where a saint is celebrated. My host cousin's name is Dimitri so we were celebrating him. The extended family is just as funny and hospitable as my nuclear host family. Here I am dancing an ORO with the extended family who live in Volandavo. My host mother's brother-in-law makes amazing RAKYA (kind of like whiskey) too.

Thanksgiving
Sorry the photo is fuzzy. It was really fun with the whole entire Peace Corps Macedonia crew. They ordered alot of turkeys and we all brought a side dish.
