Thanksgiving Cuzco

    So now that all the holidays have passed, I have some time to get caught up on updating the blog.  So here's what Thanksgiving in Cuzco was like.  In case you didn't know, Peruvians do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims to the United States.  It was difficult to explain to my students what Thanksgiving is... so I pretty much just told them we eat a lot of turkey and pumpkin pie to celebrate when some white people came to our country. 
     Unlike last year in Costa Rica, where I had a dinner alone on Thanksgiving, we had a big ex-pat Thanksgiving party.  I made an apple pie and a sweet potato and squash casserole.  I found out that our oven doesn't work very well... it took about 4 hours for my apple pie to be completely cooked!  Oh well.... it was still delicious!

It feels like Thanksgiving when theres children around!  One of the teacher's girlfriend's children came.  And yes, the beer can was later spilled by the baby.

No leftovers!
