I had a chat with Rachel on Thanksgiving Day! She called from Zurich, Switzerland. She's staying with a friend, who lives there, for the long weekend. They needed a bit of advice about making a pumpkin pie for a T-Day party with some Americans, friends of her friend, on Friday. It's quite a lovely place, there, right on a beautiful lake. The four of us had passed by it on the train ride to Innsbruck, when we were there, a number of weeks ago, but we didn't stop to get to know it, at all.
On Monday, she'll be off to Ljubljana, Slovenia, where another friend from college lives. She's planning to be in that area for a week, or so, before she heads for Dublin, where she'll hang out for several days. From there, it's back to Boston.
If you haven't checked her blog, in awhile, she's written up her ceramics course (in Italy) including a bunch of pictures. Very entertaining! The link is in the upper left of this page.
Meanwhile, we can only imagine what's up with Dylan, these days. We're guessing Thanksgiving wasn't even on the radar, this year. I've read that there's some ritual called "Enkang oo-nkiri", which is translated "meat-eating ceremony", but it probably doesn't include turkey...
