If you know of any Thanksgiving gatherings (at restaurants, clubs, etc.) that other expats could join, please post details here.

well, I have been here in Trujillo for almost Two years and visited Peru many times before....
Around Thanksgiving I always wanted to make a Turkey and the usual response was,,,......' turkey is for Christmas.......'
ThanksGiving is really a US thing and I have never seen nor heard of any event or celebration of it and have never even heard in mentioned.......
I am sure US folks have a hard time on July 4th in Great Britian too......
so,,,, turning the page....

Thanksgiving can be celebrated without turkey

i made it to trujillo before thanksgiving..made it out of iquitos alive and thats what im giving thanks for and also the happy medium between lima life and out in the jungle,yes its life in trujillo area...........No thanksgiving gathering for me but they sure do have big turkeys here (judgeing by the wing tip cutlets i see in the meat section of tottus grocery at the mall in trujillo) turkey every day if you like......I have a funny feeling that i pass far to often as a non american but USA passport is all i carry/have right now...........PS; are those sardines swarming in the millions along the beach in huanchaco since december 1st? the whole beach front smelled like fish by december 3rd and by now they are dwindling down....The tide has been really low the past 5 days....
