Christine and I had the chance to cook a turkey too ... my memory is that they were wild turkeys so their legs were twice the size of the body ... and all we had were small european ovens ... I basically tin foiled the foot of open space between the oven door and the actual oven and hoped for the best! Better than the one I spent in Russia ... when 16 of us went to the "California Bar and Grill" ... where they advertised an american thanksgiving but served up a 4-5lb chicken ... for all of us! But oh the stories ..... I agree .. it was AWESOME!

We landed in Dublin super late on Thanksgiving night and were welcomed by the friendliest people. We went in search of our Thanksgiving dinner after dropping our bags at the hostel. We ended up finding a Johnny Rockets... Normally this wouldnt really excite me but on Thanksgiving eating an all American meal of burgers, fries, and apple pie it made me euphoric! Great friends, great meal, and Diet Coke... I really couldn't have asked for anything more :) (The rest if Europe only has Coca LIght and it sucks.) Keep your head up about your brother... You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers :) I spent a semester in Luxembourg and on Thanksgiving a group of us decided to bail on the dinner put on by the university and head to Ireland.
