Thanksgiving in Romania

Yes, it is possible to purchase a turkey, or should I say turkeys, in Romania.

We were blessed to host a Thanksgiving meal for other Americans here in Timisoara. The house was a buzz with 14 adults and 2 children visiting and eating the traditional flavors of Thanksgiving. There was turkey, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, and many other dishes that each person brought to share.

After the meal, everyone visited while some took walks, and others threw a football around. Board games were played and joy filled the home. Alas, there was not football on the television. Yet, Steve and the guys survived, and it was not a downer to the festivities. Our hearts were overflowing with thankfulness as we shared food and conversation with others.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. - Kristi
