Thanksgiving in Madrid

me with the yummy dessert

For Thanksgiving, we were determined to find a good alternative to make it seem as if we were still in America. After looking around and checking out websites we found out that Hard Rock CafĂ© was having a Thanksgiving menu on Thursday. Immediately we made a reservation for 8 people. We all got dressed up in the formal dresses we brought to Madrid but had yet to wear. To start, we had pumpkin soup, which was actually delicious. I had never tried pumpkin soup before and was pleasantly surprised.  Then for the main course, we were served turkey, stuffing, some gravy on the side, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. How yummy does that sound?!? It was exactly what we wanted. For dessert we had apple tartlet with some vanilla ice cream.  Everything was beautifully displayed and tasted great. Amanda, Anna, Jenna, Melanie, her sister, Lauren, her sister, and me all had a wonderful time sipping on wine and enjoying great Thanksgiving food.  Although it was nothing like Thanksgiving with my family in Potomac, it was a great alternative and one of my favorite nights in Madrid.
