thanksgiving

Today Senaida and I went to a Thanksgiving dinner at Patricia's house in Mejorada del Campo, a small town outside of Madrid. It was so nice to get out of the city and be in a warm family atmosphere. It was Patricia, her Spanish husband, and their two boys; another American woman and her Spanish husband, their two boys; an Argentinian woman and her Spanish husband and their son. It was such a great environment...the sound of Spanish and English being spoken across the table; delicious American Thanksgiving classics like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cornbread, and an assortment of apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies; Argentinian morcilla and pear empanadas; homemade applesauce (my contribution!); and Spanish wine! It was such a lovely dinner! ...Just what I needed : )
