Happy Thanksgiving!

Even though it's Thanksgiving, we still have to work in Edfu.  (We only have one more full work day left, after all).  But in the spirit of the holiday, here's some things I am thankful for, back in the States:

1) My wonderful, loving husband
2) All my friends and family.
3) Real beds.
4) Fast internet connections.
5) Unlimited hot water showers.
6) No flies, or least not as persistent, fly-in-your-face-constantly flies.
7) Walking down the street and no one talking to me. 
8) Netflix.
9) Choosing my own meals.
10) Alcohol.
11) My cuddly, wonderful cats.
12) Not being woken up at 4:30am by the call to prayer.
13) Reliable plumbing and electricity.

I might as well point out the things I am thankful for here in Edfu, while I'm being thankful:

1) Everyone on Team Edfu :)
2) The steady tea supply.
3) Our wonderful workers who cook for us and clean up after us.
4) Our wonderful workers on site who do an awesome job.
5) Two bathrooms in the house (in previous years we've had one bathroom for 8 or 9 people). 
6) Fun and interesting work.
7) My Kindle.
8) Fridays.

But most of all, I'm thankful we're leaving Edfu on Sunday!
