An International Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a first for many things: First away from family, first time hosting, and first spent with friends. It turned out to be a really great night sharing this tradition with this awesome group of people... The Guests (AKA UN Representatives) Maria (England) Thomas (Denmark) Jen (California) Ewelina (Poland) Anne Lise (France) Charlotte (Denmark) The Menu Turkey and dressing (Thanks to Claus) Sweet potato Casserole Green bean casserole Corn casserole Mashed Potatoes and gravy Vegetarian turkey (shown below) and homemade ranch dip Bread and wine (Of course) Cranberry walnut squares Strawberry cheese pie Pumpkin spice cookies Coconut cake After stuffing our faces in true Thanksgiving fashion, we did the traditional photo, chilled with some Christmas beer, then headed out to meet Bogdan, an Australian dude if I haven't mentioned him before, and friends for a really fun night.  Thankful for these amazing friends and a re

We Bought (tickets to) a Zoo

Copenhagen Zoo The old elephant house There were lots of elephants to admire.  And this one even did a little dance.  Sibling love at the zoo! These polar bears were HUUGE. Really cool to watch too. Always LOVE the chimps. They're so entertaining and human-like. There was a lively bunch too, with some pouncing on others, one kicked another, they kept throwing the lettuce from the top of the cage into the audience... Rowdy bunch.  I don't think one could be more relaxed... A knights anole. I want it!!

  Home is where the heart is .  Home is wherever I'm with you .                       Home is where you are .   Home is where I wanna be.     Home is inside you .  Now for the good news I postponed from the previous post for a combination of organization, suspense, and getting the chance to use another cliche...     After my travels so far, my original thinking that I would be so likely to stay in Europe have changed a little. As I began to realize during my American road trip, and I think I mentioned in my posts about it, it's really important to me to stay close to my family, especially when I have one of my own. So I started thinking that maybe the best thing would be to go and live abroad and explore until wanting to settle down with a family and all. Now these thoughts have become even more clear.  Being so far from home has made me realize just how much I love and miss my family, and how I don't want to miss much more of their lives.      It's been interesting too
