Today is Thanksgiving. Last year I spent Thanksgiving weekend in Dallas, TX with my friend Colette and her family. It was a really great experience. I ate so much food I had never eaten before, it was so good. :) All the traditional Thanksgiving food, and the pies… I would kill for a piece of lemon pie now! But I guess it’s a good thing I am not celebrating Thanksgiving this year. Wouldn’t go too well with Weightwatchers, heh.
I remember I was still able to go outside in just a t-shirt, no sweater. Today it was snowing in Heidelberg.

This year I am back home in Germany, where we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving (it should be obvious, if you think about what Americans celebrate on Thanksgiving but some still think the rest of the world celebrates it as well). Today is just another Thursday for me. I went to class, and I ate potatoes with serrano ham for dinner.

I am glad I got to experience the tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States last year, and I hope, one day I will again.

Happy Thanksgiving, my American friends! I miss you guys so much!!!
