Better a Turkey than a Jerk-ey

THANKSGIVING AT THE CENTER

As a purely American holiday, you see the Austrians baffled at our food consumption, repulsed with our loosening of belts, disgusted that I HAD TO LEAVE before I vomited form eating too much.

Now that's not exactly fair. It was the inundation--food--NOT vegan, my body couldn't handle it. So much food, so much new, different food.

Ok this made zero sense.

Restart.

Thanksgiving day (well, our Sunday celebration) at the center was delightful. Everyone banded together to cook a 70 person meal in a woefully ill-equipped kitchen.

We were like family--so much love!

Michelle and Cassie have been sleeping in my room-they dragged their mattresses in--so it was like waking up after a sleepover with the cousins, waking up to the smell of pumpkins and cookies and pie...

I decided to dress like a turkey, cuz it's thanksgiving duhh

I even borrowed Bethany's yellow socks...because turkey's have yellow feet?

...Mmm, no they don't

ROBYN/TURKEY

I look dreadful here, but these are 3 of my 5 housemates for next year!!

Yeah

Wee Nicole and I are always dancing.

I sat with Michelle, and the Aussermaiers--my mild lamb theology professor and her family. I ate too much. I left and flopped on the couch, convulsing.

It was a beautiful night.

Sam made me a plate of vegan pumpkin cookies because I wouldn't have been able to have pie or anything. SEE!? Best Salzburg family anyone could ask for. How thoughtful!

I'll blog about Mauthausen soon. It's just going to be heavy. Sigh

Thanksgiving was great. Gobble-gobble.

Oh! and Frau Loos may have held my hands whilst telling me I was Laurel and Hardy? Who's that?

DID I FAIL TO MENTION--Cassie Sheridan and co. pulled a lil prank in my shower. Mashed potatoes.in.the.shower. Uncalled for. Cassie is SLEEPING IN MY ROOM and she plops pounds of potatoes (GARLIC) in my shower? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTAAAAA.
