We also carved pumpkins with them. One of the great things about living in a foreign country is that you don't have to do things as we do in America. Normally carving pumpkins goes along with Halloween, but they have no idea so carving pumpkins on Thanksgiving makes just as little sense as it does on Halloween. Each foreigner was paired with a local freind. they were very creative in their carving, adding ears and hair! We decided Andy's looks like an evil priest-got the evil face but has the big cross on top. We could only find really tall skinny pumpkins. (how appropriate to have skinny pumpkins in this country, as about 99 percent of this population is thinner than my left arm!)
