Contrary to what most people still picture in Russia - breadlines are no longer existent, and have been replaced by lines and lines of bread in Russian grocery stores. So, the point I want to make here is that I ate pretty darn well on my Thanksgiving in Russia. I celebrated at the US Embassy, as I was invited by the US Consular for Public Relations. The evening was great, food was just like at home (except for the delicious pies my family makes!), and was successful in getting another invite back to the Embassy, as well as some good contacts to have in general.

Debbi Guido (Director of Academic Programs for the Embassy) and James Kenney (Director of Public Affairs) show off the glorious turkey that Mr. Kenney's wife prepared.
