November has been a very good month! It started off with two of my best friends coming to visit me. I tried to show them all my favorite places in the few days they were here. It is so much fun to be able to show people around in this new city that now somewhat feels like yours. We visited museums, did some shopping and sightseeing, and above all we ate a lot. New York offers such a big variety in restaurants. It’s amazing! I think they went home all tired and satisfied after that one week, because we had been walking so much!! The picture shows us on top of the roof of the New Museum.

I also celebrated my very first thanksgiving!! Some of my friends from around here stayed in New York during the holiday instead of going back to their family to celebrate thanksgiving. So we decided to do a so-called ‘friendsgiving’ together. We woke up really early in the morning that day to go and see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade that takes place around Central Park. It’s a famous parade that includes big floating balloons, dancers, clowns, marching bands etc. After that we went back home to start dinner preparations. One of my friends goes to culinary school so she was in charge of all the cooking. She made so much food, including a big stuffed turkey. It was a very fun day and a true American experience!
