Day One Hundred & Nineteen - Thanksgiving Sunday

My day began with brunch with a very mediocre brunch had at Central Pub with the girls. Due to the fact that we were so disappointed with brunch we decided to go and get ice cream. I kid you not, I did say ice cream. Thanks to Jessica’s friend it was brought to our attention that there is a shop, which sells ice cream in Malakia. We decided to treat ourselves to some soft serve ice cream. There are even two options to choose from, strawberry pineapple or vanilla and chocolate. We all had vanilla and chocolate swirl. It is not like soft serve ice cream back home but it was good enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. It melted so fast but it was a delicious treat. From here we proceeded to a friends house where we had a very relaxing afternoon, chatting and watching a movie. It was an excellent break from having to sit at a restaurant all day.

At 5 we went to Arkel for a turkey dinner. There was a whole bunch of other Canadians there. It was nice. Turkey, Juba style stuffing that was somehow made in a pan and cut up into squares, odd but not terrible tasting, mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, vegetable, salad and even Juba style pumpkin pie! Obviously not as good as if I were at home but it was good enough and made the day complete and actually feel a little like Thanksgiving back home.

  1. I am so glad that you got to enjoy a Canadian Thanksgiving "Juba style"! I ate two pieces of pumpkin pie--one for you because we all know Grandma's pie is THE BEST!
