This is a few days late but I had to share. This was my first time in my entire life spending my Thanksgiving day away from my crazy cooky family. At first I was quite sad about being in Italy on thanksgiving, considering it is a holiday that is not celebrated here.
Thankfully enough we have great friends that we met from Kenyon College who were nice enough to host an Italio/American thanksgiving. First course included traditional Italian pasta, second course was a taste of home with turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, and stuffing. We finished the meal with mini deserts and lemoncello (which is an extremely strong Italian liqueur).
It was such a lovely evening and I am so thankful to have been able to share my Thanksgiving dinner with my very own "Italian family." It seems crazy that in exactly 14 days we will be leaving each other to return to our lives back home so spending a night of quality holiday time together was special.
and of course it wouldn't be a proper Thanksgiving post if I didn't say what I am thankful for.
1. My family
2. This experience

p.s. yes we all clapped and cheered when they came out with a cooked turkey, they thought we were bonkers i'm sure of it.
