Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving my friend Thammika and I went to this delicious (and expensive) pizza place. The restaurant was gorgeous, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food was real – they had actual mozzarella! My friend had her first salad in three months and I had my first actual pizza in three months. I designed it myself! A dough base with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pili pili sausage (sausage cooked in chili sauce), green pepper, tomato, and basil. So good. I also ordered a juice concoction of pineapple juice, grenadine, passion fruit juice, and Smirnoff. Yummy.

Then Thammika and I re-enacted our lives in America, just chilling and chatting at the restaurant for a couple of hours. Then we got hit on by drunk older South African men (which does not happen in my American life), bailed, and went to the casino. Where we ran into the same South African guys, only they were drunker. But my night ended well: I won $41 dollars!!!

Then I motorcycled home because it’s the cheapest way to travel at night. And the funnest. Talked to a good majority of my fam at home, which was super nice. It sucks I had to miss the holiday with them and the best meal of the year.

That was my first African Thanksgiving! I’m sure it won’t be the last, but it was epic all the same. Hope y’all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
