For dinner we had invited Daniel and Fran over. Daniel is one of the Texas Tech Students here studying at Denmark Technical University. Fran is also a student at DTU and is from Brazil.
Fran made us "Greek Rice" from Brazil. It is a traditional Brazillian Christmas Food. It was cool to hear about her Christmas and New Years in Brazil. It is summer down there right now and she thought it was quite strange to be celebrating Christmas in the winter. She also told us about how they hang out on the beach on New Years. Ah, that sounded nice.
Of course we would have preferred to have been in Lubbock or El Paso for Christmas, but we had a really great Christmas despite that fact.

Glad you were able to celebrate Christmas dinner with friends. Everyone was happy to "see" you and to talk to you. WE MISSED YOU!
I am glad you had a good christmas and we're able to celebrate with friends!
I don't know what's wrong with my internet but in your last 3 posts, I can only see 4 pictures in all - and two of them are of window displays.
So I still read your blog but have been waiting to comment because I was hoping that eventually the pictures would appear.
It's a good thing that you and your friends had each other now that you had to spend Christmas so far from your families!
Did you put your gifts under your little Christmas tree?
I am so glad you had friends to spend Christmas with! Next Christmas the 4 of us will have a chance to be together!!! I cannot wait!
We are having our Christmas day today with all of my family! Mads and my mom are cooking the DUCK right now!!!
hey guys: your Christmas dinner looks both fabulous, tasty and very international. Nichole, I wanted to give you a pedometer in Roma update. I also gave a pedometer to Raffaella, from whom I buy my fruits and veggies on Via Boncompagni. On my way to work on Thursday, she was showing her bright blue pedometer to her neighbor merchant, who has a magazine stand. So I am single-handedly responsible for the pedometer conversations in my 'hood. When I saw that, I immediately thought of you!
