Its hard to believe that this was my second Thanksgiving out of the country away from home. Its so much easier the second time around and I almost feel completely accustomed to life here in Spain. As much as I missed not being able to celebrate this day with my family at home it was great to be able to celebrate with my friends here in Cordoba who I have surprisingly only known for a few months.
Since we all had to work on Thursday we weren't able to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner that night. So instead we went out to a Chinese restaurant for an open buffet to satisfy our homesickness with some good food.
On Friday evening we prepared a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Laurel's house for her birthday. There were us 4 Americans and then we all invited friends, coworkers and roommates who we wanted to take part in this special American holiday. Everyone brought a dish to share. We had almost all of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes minus the turkey which was substituted with chicken along with some typical dishes from other countries. I made a green bean casserole and stuffing. The stuffing was a big hit and it seemed as if no one had seen or tasted anything like this before. Needless to say there was plenty of food and it was definitely a success.
Below are some pictures from the night.
