Thanksgiving Downsized

This year it was just my Dad and I eating Thanksgiving diner. The rest of the family, my brother, his wife and my sister are all in France for some reason. So my Dad and I went to the Barona casino for their Thanksgiving buffet. The last two years we went to the Valley View casino, which was nice, but the buffet at Barona was much larger and the food was better. Last time I went to Barona was in 1996, and the entire casino was in a huge circus-like tent. Now there a beautiful Las Vegas style hotel and casino - it's really quite impressive (but sadly, we didn't see Kenny Rogers). The only downside is that they allow smoking in the casino, however, nobody was smoking in the restaurant. We'll all have to go back next year - so much food to try, so little room in stomach.

We had our turkey dinner at a Persian restaurant in France. I had turkey skewers. Lorie and duck & rice, a variation of turkey. Brad had salmon. We were the only ones in the restaurant that even knew it was Thanksgiving. The group next to us was smoking flavored tobacco from a large trendy hookah formerly known as a bong. We couldn't smell any smoke and they were sitting right next to us. Paris is great!
