Thanksgiving in Italy

Our Thanksgiving in Italy, with American friends

A Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family back home! We are thinking of you. :) Of the things we are grateful for, tonight we were very grateful to be hosted at a Thanksgiving dinner made by some friends of our American couchsurfing host.

It was a fabulous meal, and to top it all off, the dinner was on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Bellissima! It's quite an extraordinary thing, to be able to celebrate a US holiday in a foreign country. Our friends here are all navy or military-based, so they are able to get otherwise hard-to-find ingredients. In an Italian supermarket, cranberries, whole turkeys, and cheddar cheese are generally impossible to get. :) We were very lucky to be there tonight!

We hope everyone at home has a wonderful dinner - we are grateful for all of you, and we miss you. Hugs from Europe!
