Thanksgiving!

Although rather ill, I was able to spend Thanksgiving Day with a bunch of other "gringos!" There were about 25 of us in one house, eating all the goodies of Thanksgiving! I thought that I was the only non-southerner gringa here in Queretaro, but there is a couple from Indiana who I'd never met before... Needless to say, there were a few dishes at the meal that I'd never heard of before, like cornbread dressing (apparently an essential to Thanksgiving dinner), and congealed (CON-gee-old) salad, which is like a creamy jello fruit dish.

Here is our potluck spread:

And one of the three tables we had set up:

Me with the other young gringas - Stephanie, Laura, and Mary.

And to finish off the evening, we sang hymns - IN ENGLISH together!

I ate pumpkin pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a great day!!
