Dinner: turkey with gravy, a weird meat stuffing, medley of corn, carrots and peas, "mashed potatoes" (basically a puree), puree of squash, apple sauce (which Brenda and I though was gravy and subsequently put on our turkey instead of gravy)
Dessert: Almost apple pie. It was maybe like a cheesecake with apples on top?
Drinks: water and wine
Basically, a valiant effort, but not the same as being home with family, playing some football in the park and enjoying delicious, REAL pies and mashed potatoes.
A thankful note: This Thanksgiving (the first one away from home) has made me appreciate how lucky I am to have a family that I actually miss while abroad, that makes my heart ache to be back in the states. At the same time, I am so grateful for my experience here in Spain, for the opportunity to travel, to meet new friends, to improve my Spanish, and to grow tremendously.
As my mom would say, "Ahhh, this is the life!"
Cheers,
Katie
