Happy Thanksgiving!




Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope you get to have a great time celebrating and eating with family and freinds. Today is just another day for the Dutch folks. I couldn't even find some stuffing in a can to cook. It's a little weird for me knowing that most people in the states are settling down for a big meal and I won't be.



I managed to make it to the city center (Centrum) all by myself yesterday without getting lost. Here are some pictures from Groningen. The first picture is the Groningen Art Museum and a houseboat on the canal. The second is of the trash cans in Groningen. There isn't a regular trash man that comes and picks up your trash once a week. Here, you pay to put your trash in these receptacles.

These pictures are of some buildings in Groningen.


The left hand picture is buildings along the Fish Market in the city center. The right hand picture is of a street in Groningen. I'm getting used to the narrow streets here.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Was good to see you today. The lefse was really good :) Hopefully your dad will make more before you come home in a few weeks; I think Allison and Lori took all that was left!
