Camera Action

With some of my birthday spends I booked myself a little photography course which I took on Wednesday.... it was pretty basic just to learn about composition and more of the programming on my camera.  I felt a little silly as everyone had big fancy cameras and knew all the jargon!  and I just had my little pocket camera but I did learn a few tricks... so here are some of the photos.  I think the Vietnam ones are the best.

 Albert Einstein


 Veitnam Veterans Memorial

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving just over a week a go with some of the guys I work with at Biergarten who weren't going 'home for the holidays'.  Its sort of like Christmas dinner back home - its always a turkey, usually a ham and all the trimmings.



The trimmings are different here though we had mac 'n' cheese, cornbread, greenbean casserole and sweet potatoe casserole.  For dessert it was pumpkin pie, pecan pie and sweet mince pies (courtesy of the brooks kitchen) to add a british touch... I also made our gravy as Amercian gravy is different to ours.  The most intriguing for me was the sweet potatoe cassarole or 'candied yams' which I like the sound of.  Its sweet potatoes and other stuff with a marsh mallow top!!!...

Biergarten folk...
