HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

Don’t worry, in a few days I myself will be feasting upon the great meal that comes with this great American Holiday!!

Yesterday I had a bit of a… not sure how to describe it, but a very, very different experience.

I went to the American Army Base. There is one located in Bamberg, and my friend Angela happened to get us the connections to go on base. So Pass Port in hand I walked to the US.

I felt like I was either stepping back in time or jumping into the future, because I was suddenly standing in an American Grocery store, like Safeway or City Market, buying peanut butter, and some cookies. Walking into this store there was the whole Thanksgiving section, with every thing from candied yams, to stove top stuffing, and cranberry sauce. We even were able to buy the turkey pan, pie pans, and some of our favorite Christmas goodies.

I got lucky and stocked up on my chocolate chips, peanut butter, tortilla chips, and some amazing granola bars.

Another thing I noticed was the customer service that this store had to offer. The manager kept asking if we had everything we needed, he was kind enough to show us where to find some things we weren’t able to find. Then there were baggers, you know the people who bag your groceries at check out and take it to your car for you. Amazing!
