Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

I'm thankful for my time in York. I didn't get to do as much as I wanted to do, and I didn't meet many Brits who lived outside the house, but my time in York was six months well-spent.

Do your countries have large Thanksgiving festivals or holidays? Ours has become so popular and secular because it serves a purpose in the American foundation story. And that story involves Erik's hometown of Leiden!

For those of you meeting next month, have fun. I'll be back soon enough - Europe hasn't seen the last of me =)

Where's David?

For Sasha:



And Erik, your cousin was spotted nearby!
