Visitors for Thanksgiving

It is probably about time for another blog, so I'm back to showing you random pictures taken by our visitors that I think you might find interesting. I figure it is better than nothing.

I must say it was nice having fellow Americans around on an American holiday, whether they were fully confident on the purpose of the holiday or not. (sorry guys!)
