Cena de Accion de Gracias (thanksgiving dinner)

Holidays while on exchange can be a slightly bittersweet experience, thanksgiving for example. This was my first thanksgiving without my family, but luckily I had my exchange student family to celebrate with.

Rotary's attempt to plan an American thanksgiving meal in Spain was no doubt a difficult task. So we forgive them for substituting apple tart for pumpkin pie (the pumpkin soup they gave us was amazing). BUT...that was definitely not turkey they gave us.

We were all a little curious why our families and rotary and even the waiters were so interested in how we liked the pavo (turkey). Then we found out (afterwords) that it was because we were actually eating pato (duck)...they even had the waiters lie to us.

Definitely the most...interesting thanksgiving i've ever had, but also one of the best.
