Or, for those who speak English, "Thanksgiving." So we wouldn't feel quite so alone on this family holiday, CIEE held a dinner for us at a nice restaurant called Los Monos Restaurante. We started off with hors d'oeuvres of cheese, what appeared to be roast beef, & beer or wine. Then we moved to the banquet room for a buffet dinner. They served pork & chicken, boxed mashed potatoes, applesauce, some sort of cold shrimp sauce, cold vegetable bread (think carrots & peas), more wine & champagne. While the food was all very tasty, it had been billed as "Thanksgiving Dinner," & I know that most of us had our hopes up for turkey & stuffing instead of a more traditional Spanish meal. For dessert, we had apple pastry & whipped cream, which was also delicious but wasn't pumpkin pie. Don't think that I am complaining, though; I had a great time & was thankful to be surrounded by new friends. While it's not the Thanksgiving I'm used to, I'd say it was a success.
Nos vemos, Le <3.
