Thanksgiving abroad (my first away from home!)

This was a pretty action packed weekend. The week went fine (minus me walking into a door at work and banging up my eye, and Kelly finding a live worm in the upstairs toilet) and I'm starting to like my job a lot more. In my opinion, it isn't as well run as my old store, we're always short staffed, and the new people aren't trained at all! But work was fine. For Thanksgiving, I made some stuffing, green beans, and a pomegranate. It was delicous. On Friday night we went to a college party. That's right, a bunch of graduates did the lame 'return to college' thing and met up with one of Joe's friends from WU who now goes to London School of Economics. Oddly enough, there was another girl from WU there (5 WU grads in London, pretty incredible considering the size of the school). There were a bunch of people from all over the world and they were a ton of fun. We caught the last tube home, we were having so much fun. Saturday monring (6 hours after we got home on Friday night), Joe and I headed off on our adventure to Cambridge. It rained while we were there but the town is very cute. There were two outdoor markets, all the different parts of the school, cathedrals, museums, and more. We both agreed that our favorite part was Kettle Yard, which is a house that was owned by the former curator of the Tate. He lived in it for many years, deccorated it as a former curator would, and then donated it to the city. It is advertized as a non-musuem, non-gallery place to see art. Guests can sit in the chairs and read the books--but no touching the art. Very cool.
Sunday started off lazy, doing laundry and making eggs for breakfast. Then we headed off to a friend of Frank's from work, Erika, for another Thanksgiving feast. We got very lost for a long time, but eventaully ended up in her warm flat and had a side dish extravaganza (Frank and Kelly were the only non-vegetarians in the group).
So three thanksgivings in one week seems pretty good.
