Man oh man, I have too much to be thankful for…

This year, I experienced a thanksgiving unlike any other. My first wave of homesickness struck thanksgiving morning, when I realized no turkey, no pie, no family- Little did I know, thanksgiving came to me, all the way here in Spain. My friends and I often frequent a little bar/sideria in town where we have become really close with the owner, Alex aka “el jefe” and the cook. We all go out together, help him clean up and kick it with him after the bar closes, and simply hang out a ton. To get to the point, El Jefe and the wonderful Ecuadorian cook MADE US A FULL ON THANKSGIVING DINNER and served it for us in the bar. Im talking the works: turkey, stuffing, potatoes, wine, pie..my Spanish “family” and I sat on bar stools and feasted on perhaps the most memorable and utterly different thanksgiving I think I will ever have. Pie…check. Turkey….check. Family…check. I may have tear-ed up once or twice- it was incredibly touching.
