Thanksgiving on Lake Biwa

The other Fulbrighters and I met up in a cabin near Kyoto to celebrate Thanksgiving!

The Fulbright Japan gang! ...minus two who couldn't make it!

The cabin was great! Clean, two floors, natural wood, and heated!

Angelica and I assumed responsibility for one of the breakfasts. We made pancakes!

We went for a walk the next morning and we saw over a dozen wild monkeys! They travel in packs!

We were befriended by a cat that followed us for a while as we walked along the lake.

Thanksgiving dinner! We couldn't find turkey, so we bought a few rotisserie chickens. We also had chili and sweet potatoes with marshmallows!

Thanksgiving dinner would not be complete without pumpkin pie.
