Thanksgiving in New Jersey

Thanksgiving: we've all heard of it here in Europe, even though we don't celebrate it. So Benoit and I were more than excited when Kurt organized  for us to celebrate this holiday with his friend and her family  in the countryside of New Jersey, about an hour and a half from New York. The contrast with the city couldn't have been bigger; sloping hills and gorgeous wooden houses that  made me feel like I was walking around in an American holiday movie. Thanksgiving is all about coming together with family and friends, staying in, watching (American) football and eating lots of Turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin and pecan pie...oh and let's not forget about pitching horseshoes! Something I proved to be quite skilled at;-)
