Thanksgiving and Holiday Festivals

Updated: 11/20/24

Thank you for reading this blog.  We will continue to share our passion of traveling by land and by sea (or river), and occasionally, feature some recipes of yummy food from the Mai Thai galley. Incidentally, this Thanksgiving, I'm making a sinful batch of Chocolate raspberry bars to bring to a family party. I've made it a few times, and each time it got great reviews. Click here for the recipe.

As for holiday festivals, we've gone to some pretty memorable festivals over the years, some of which we'd like to share with you here. If you're not in the holiday spirit just yet, maybe attending one of these festivals will put you into the holiday mood. Enjoy!
