Happy Thanksgiving...belated

We drove about 3 hours to spend Thanksgiving with a number of missionary families.  Here are a few pictures...

Driving several hours and then taking 240 stairs to the top of a hill that looks down into a crater lake.  This was the day after Thanksgiving picnic that we normally take with the other missionaries.

 At the top...right behind us is the beautiful blue lake and surrounding crater...

A few days after Thanksgiving I was able to get an official airstrip checkout by Tom Needham at the Banso Baptist Hospital airfield.  The field is pretty sloped and is divided by a dog-leg turn in the middle.  I did about 4 solo takeoff and landings on this challenging field.  The pictures are of Tom doing his own takeoff and landing after I finished mine.
