Bob Bolling 's Website in Galicia, Northwest Spain

NOV 28, 2002 - Again this year, we were lucky enough to be invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with the group of Americans working and living in Ferrol. This time the affair was held at Champions Cervezería, a pleasant Ferrol restaurant-bar-pizza parlor that is run by a couple from Canada. They were kind enough to let us occupy the whole place for a few hours for this celebration.

There were two huge turkeys for the dinner - actually more than the 30 (or thereabouts) of us could eat. The families brought "covered dishes" of all the traditional fixin's and some great deserts. If anyone went home hungry, it sure wasn't due to a lack of good food! As an added bonus, Marivi and I got to visit (too briefly) with Lynn and Wally Wojtysiak, who we've known since the 1970's, when Wally and I worked together in Ferrol on a Spanish frigate program.

Here are a few scenes from the celebration:

Wally demonstrates his expertise at turkey-carving	The buffet table was loaded with everything you could want

Marivi's mother joined us for the celebration	Rosa (Marivi's sister) works with the Americans at the shipyard

Nancy, Winston, Wally and Lynn dining in style	We had wine and beer, too. (In moderation, of course)

Marivi and I are grateful to these nice folks from the USofA for allowing us to join their Thanksgiving celebration again.
