Thanksgiving

Happy belated Turkeyday to everyone! Yesterday I celebrated my first Thanksgiving away from home and apart from not seeing any family, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

At the hostel, we pooled our money together and bought the ingredients for a full Thanksgiving meal. A few of my mates, who had the day off, labored in the kitchen to prepare an extravagant meal. We had the works – turkey, stuffing with gravy, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, salad, crescent rolls, squash and a couple other dishes which I was not familiar with. And to top off the meal, we had homemade apple and pumpkin pie. Yum! We have enough leftovers to have the Thanksgiving part two.

In keeping with Thanksgiving tradition, we watched football while we ate. However, we added a little twist – we watched “regular” football. We couldn’t find a channel that had the NFL games on, so we settled for the UEFA Cup Match between Portsmouth and AC Milan. But as with every Thanksgiving, most of the people slept during the match!

Tomorrow, I am setting off on my first adventure outside of London. Me and a couple mates are headed to Winsor Castle. But, before we head to the Queen’s weekend getaway, we are going to Abbey Road (I hope all of you are familiar with it) to take pictures and hopefully avoid being hit by oncoming traffic.

Cheers!
