One of the downsides to study abroad is not being with your family on certain holidays. However, one good side is being able to share holiday traditions with others. Although I missed by family, I experienced quite a unique Thanksgiving that I will never forget. With the help of some ingredients my mom brought to Madrid from the US (as well as years of experience cooking for 30 people), my roommates and I cooked a full on thanksgiving dinner (Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and all) and invited our curious Spanish friends over to take part in the uniquely American Pilgrim/Indian tradition. There were many funny moments (traveling with a 12lb turkey on the metro), fitting 30 people into our tiny apartment, trying to explain stuffing in spanish... but all in all it was a great celebration of being thankful. Enjoy the pictures...

| What way to better end a thanksgiving celebration than country line dancing? |
I think you definately brought some American Culture to Madrid--at least they know what Thanksgiving is now!! (and what stuffing is--it is kind of strange when you think about it)
