Bought my dress three hours before the dinner, first off..
There were over 100 of us filling an entire room at a restaurant in Zaragoza.
It was so great to see everyone dressed up fancy, to see the faculty kids, and to meet peoples' parents and teachers' spouses! Everyone looked so beautiful!
When we finally sat down around 9-9:15, there were a few speeches from our two class representatives, and after we had watched the servers place the food down about twenty minutes before, no one had a problem just digging in! I ate. So. Much. Food. Good thing I was wearing a dress with a high waist line! The food was really great. Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, mashed yams, green beans and almonds, stuffing, bread (of course), and then the desserts.
There were apple, pumpkin, pecan, and peach pies along with a cookie cake thing and a blueberry crumble. And vanilla ice cream!
It was a really fun night with my new friends and my new "family" here in Spain.
Then I still got to skype with my family back home at their Thanksgiving and see almost everyone :) It was a very rewarding night. I am so thankful for everyone in my life!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! <3
OH! And our Thanksgiving present was that we don't have school tomorrow :) (well today technically speaking Spain time). Yay! Thanks SYA!
