Banana leaves from our front yard to wrap the tamales &
Some rad amigos to share in the experience.....
...This is our annual Gringo Thanksgiving in Mexico.
Thanksgiving is not officially celebrated in Mexico. However a large enough population of expats live in the Bay of Banderas that finding a restaurant to gorge yourself with turkey and all the fixin's is an easy task.
Many years ago, Thanksgiving became our favorite holiday. It is the one and only time of the year when people gather in our home to celebrate a holiday. And, in typical 'Fuber' fashion....there is nothing traditional about it! Tamales stuffed with spicy black beans and pumpkin. Side of stuffing & gravy. Margaritas.

Pre-feast walk on the beach while waiting for the tamales to steam.
Flip flops gathered around the front door.
Two of my favorite things: tropical weather footwear & friends.
