Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving meal: beef pho, stir fried beef and veg served with stir fried noodles, pickles and spicy sauce, fried honey donuts and fresh pineapple for dessert. Washed down with multiple glasses of 22 cent local draft (served with ice) while sitting on plastic stools on the edge of a bustling street.

We are in Hanoi this Thanksgiving and if there is ever one thing that makes you feel thankful on so many levels it’s traveling to another country. Of course we miss our families, my mom’s cooking, stupid sibling antics, and my nephew, Jack. It’s not the same but we can’t complain too much. We have a lot to be thankful for — and a lot more street food to eat!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
