Danielle's Visit, and Thanksgiving Paris Style

WOW!!! It's been ages since I've postedI've done lots of stuff. My friend Danielle from Gonzaga in Florence (GIF) came to visit me the week before Thanksgiving. We had so much fun. We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night, it was really beautiful to see the city all lut up. We also walked the Champs Elysees, hung out in the Latin Quarter, met up with some other GIF people who happenend to be in town for the weekend, and went to the Musee D'Orsay and then had Greek food for dinner. We went to the Picasso Museum, and Louvre, as well as Notre Dame. I would say we hit all of the highlights. It was just really nice to see a friend from GU, and get caught up. We also drank Starbucks, man was it tasty. After that, we had Thanksgiving. It would be an understatement, if I didn't say that we went all out, and by all out, I mean OVER THE TOP!!!We had roughly 50 people, two turkeys, 5 pies, tons of mashed potatoes (I'm not kidding), 3 different kinds of yams, two kinds of stuffing, and all of the other fixings. It was amazing. We started all of the prep the night before, and continued to cook all day long on Thanksgiving day. Since we only have a toaster oven, the bakery up the street cooked the turkey's, pies, and some of the other stuff too. It was really fun, because each person brought recipes from their own families, so it made it really special. Next stop...Munich,
Germany.
