Día de Acción de Gracias

Sorry guys, I didnt realize that I hadnt put this one up. Anyways.... this was Thanksgiving (Madrid style). On the actual night of Thanksgiving, Allie had me over to her apartment where the real action was happening! Turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and of course, stuffing! The Spaniards were fascinated by our American traditions, but later took us out to karaoke and sangria to officially Spanish-ize the day. The following night our program invited us to an "American-style Thanksgiving" dinner at a nice restaurant, and although the food was not nearly as impressive as Aunt Linda's yummy cooking, I was quite amused by my teacher (Fermin de los Reyes) as he insisted in sharing with us his bottle of brandy that he had won from a jeopardy game.

cheers!

our spanish thanksgiving, looks legit...

Fermin de los Reyes. What a name.
