Thanksgiving

IES had a really nice Thanksgiving (in Spanish: Día de Acción de Gracias) dinner for us and our IES professors at a restaurant in Salamanca. The food was an interesting mix of Spanish cooking and American traditional food. My friends and I ended up sitting at the table with all of the professors, but we got to speak a lot of Spanish and learned about holidays in Spain and were the only table that didn't run out of wine...
Professors and crema. Crema is a Spanish style soup that's vegetables put through the blender and heated. The first course was three cremas: pumpkin, chestnut, and potato.


More profs. This was when we realized that our religion prof. didn't only speak incredibly slowly and clearly because we were Americans; that was his normal speaking voice.



Friends and a sneaky plot to steal our vino. People from another table sent someone to our table because their table had run out of wine, but they had to be sneaky about it because they didn't want to look bad in front of the profs, but we still have photographic evidence of their deviousness.
