Dia de pavo!

Thanksgiving in Guatemala was like Thanksgiving in the States, but slightly different. It took us multiple trips to five different grocery stores over the course of four days to find all of the ingredients we needed. The menu included holiday favorites like Turkey (duh!), macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and Gallo beer. We invited some of our Guatemalan friends over for the festivities and explained to them that it's not Thanksgiving unless they eat to complete gluttony and then go back for seconds. They obliged. But what really made my Thanksgiving complete was the kick ass Rock Band marathon followed by the Thriller Dance instructional video that we all mastered in spite of our full bellies.

Thank you Elvis, Jamie, John, Carlos, Edwardo, and Luis for being my family this Thanksgiving. Along with so many other things, I'm thankful that we can all still rock on!
