Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Today, I'm extremely thankful for wonderful, family, friends and travels.

Here are a few updates before I continue writing about Prague and Italy:

-It's freezing and snowing in Copenhagen (in November!) As sad as I am to be leaving in a few weeks, I'm not sure if I could take this weather for four straight months. It's is only light out from nine to four, and it has been a bit depressing. Today, it snowed all day. I woke up in the dark and came home in the dark. I don't know how the Danes do this every winter!

Yes, people are still biking in the snow.

A ridiculously expensive cappuccino I drank to warm me up.

-The other day my host family surprised me with some traditional Danish Christmas food. It's fun seeing all of the streets in central Copenhagen decorated with signs and lights. My host family loves talking about their Christmas traditions. The traditional meal pictured below is pork, regular potatoes and then potatoes dipped in caramel and sugar. Typically, Danes will eat goose or duck as well. For dessert, they make a special cake (I'm not sure of the name), and there's an almond in the cake. Whoever gets the piece with the almond in it gets a small present. I loved that idea!
