Day 91: Thanksgiving

(This is for Thursday 27 November, obviously!)

Thursday at work the departments where there are interns decided to have a potluck-style Thanksgiving lunch for the interns since Thanksgiving isn't celebrated here in the UK. It was so cute; no one really knew what was Thanksgiving-y, so we had everything from empanadas to quiche, and a great selection of desserts. It was really sweet of them to do this for us in an attempt to help us feel more at home. I was already stuffed by 2:00 on Thanksgiving day, so I guess you could say this was pretty normal.

Thursday night the rectors had organized buying food for flats that wanted to participate in floor dinners, so we went next door for Thanksgiving dinner, complete with a turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It was really fun, and we even went around the table saying what we were thankful for.

After pie we watched some football (soccer) since there wasn't American football on, but other than that it felt like your regular American Thanksgiving.

A very thanking-filled Thanksgiving spent in London, even though I missed being with family. Sounds like you all had a great time :)
