Trick or treat... American freaks

Karsten got enough candy to keep his 4 year old body on a sugar buzz high for a few days but I must admit, it wasn't the same as trick-or-treating at home. We knocked on a few Dutch doors by mistake and they were clueless why small children dressed in funny costumes were yelling "trick or treat." We had to appologize, laugh and move on. After trick-or-treating we went to our favorite little neighborhood pizza place where we received more curious looks, especially at the toddler dressed as a flower, and not a tulip flower either.

A few days ago I called the local Mariott to make reservations for Thanksgiving dinner. The expat tour guide said if you want to celebrate Thanksgiving you need a good month's preparation. Most Dutch ovens are too small to cook a turkey.
