As you may have heard, Thanksgiving is not a European holiday, so with turkey day looming we started the search for a place to celebrate the years good harvest. Of course, by search I mean we googled "Sevilla" and "Thanksgiving dinner", and within about 30 seconds, had 3 options for dinner. I knew there had to be someone trying to make a buck off the ex-pats and travelers living here. So with high hopes and low expectations we packed up our stretch limo stroller and headed out to Santa Cruz for some turkey.
The food turned out to be pretty darn good and we had a great waiter who was really nice to the kids. As a bonus, we had a small, cozy room to ourselves. This was perfect as the kids could roam around and explore a bit. The decorations were, well, eclectic. The walls were checkered with old bullfighting photos and the perimeter of the room was decorated with old TVs and fans, the manner of which you may find in a swap meet. The lighting was soft, yellow, and tranquil. This was a big improvement over the normal prison lighting you find in many restaurants in Sevilla.
Our first course began with a pumpkin soup followed by turkey served as medallions with a cranberry sauce. The presentation was artistic and the flavors worked well together. Dessert was an apple tart. All things considered, they did a great job and we had a very nice dinner. The kids ate bread.
Happy Thanksgiving and take a few moments to reflect on and appreciate the good and beautiful things in life.

Are those old tubes for decoration? Looks like a nice dinner. I love that picture of Ali with the red bow in her hair. Cute!
