Monday Holiday

After our adventures to the Sea of Clouds, K and I went for bagels. Somehow she’d never been to the bagel shop – it’s probably my favorite shop in town.

Of course, we had to peek at the fall colors surrounding the river near the bagel shop.

We went a little closer to the water.

We took the road out to see the view. The mountains were gorgeous, but they’re so tiny in this shot. Wide angle didn’t work so well.

After that, we split up for a bit and then met back up for lunch. We went to the café by the lake, Ito-ya, for it’s last day of the season.

We had curry, which was perfect for the slightly chilly day.

I had chai, of course!

It was a wonderful way to spend the weekend after being sick the week before.

Thanksgiving dinner

Here is my Thanksgiving dinner!

In my opinion, tacos beat turkey any day - including turkey day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy thanksgiving to all of you in the USA! Thanksgiving just ended here (18 minutes ago), and it's a semi blog-less day. I'm still awake, but I should have blogged before midnight :)

Though I celebrated yesterday (more on that soon), I spent my Thanksgiving with my elementary students. With one school we learned about animals and had lunch. After lunch I headed to school 2 and got to teach all of the 5th grade in my whole school district, for a total of 27 students. They're going to be an awesome bunch when they get to junior high, they are so excited about English.

After school, I came home and packed for my fun trip tomorrow to the NaNoWriMo write in. I won't be working on a novel, but I'll be aiming to get some pre-blogging done and learn how to use my photo editor (GIMP). Looking forward to finding lessons online and learning.

After packing, I started on a dessert to take with me this weekend and dinner. A friend who I hung out with last week came over for dinner and a movie. She had rented 500 Days of Summer and it was due back tomorrow, so we decided to have a movie night.

I made pumpkin soup, she brought bread and we sampled tomorrow's dessert. It was great fun.

But now it's off to bed for me, because I have a fun and driving filled day tomorrow!

Getting ready for tomorrow!

Tomorrow a friend in Sapporo is hosting Thanksgiving, so I’ll drive out and then drive home in the same day. It’s going to be a bit epic, but it should be loads of fun.

She asked for help making things so I volunteered for bread. I made beer bread.

That’s my moven (aka microwave-oven). It does a great job cooking small things, but big things (like this) tend to over cook a tad on the outside.

Happy Thanksgiving!
