For Thanksgiving the gang decided to go to Madrid. It was wonderful. Not only was it clean, but I understood the language, finally able to put the 6 years of Spanish to use. It was a lot colder than Athens, with the highs only in the 50's, but perfect because they were decorating for Christmas, and when I think of Christmas, I think of cold and snow.

| Chocolate and Churros |
Our Thanksgiving meal. Becca and I really wanted mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. TGIFridays had a full meal, but it didn't look very good so we asked for just the pie, which they would not give us. So we went to KFC. It was epic.

| Soccer Game: Athletico vs Espanola, two clubs in Spain |
