Thanksgiving in Washington DC

Thanksgiving is a North American holiday (celebrated both in Canada and the USA) that originated as a time to praise and give thanks to God for the harvest (colheitas, in Portuguese) and other things.

I went to celebrate Thanksgiving in Washington DC, at Jane sister's place, where he ate traditional Thanksgiving food such as turkey and pumpkin pie.
