VirtualTourist Lists 10 Best Ways and Places to Spend Thanksgiving

VirtualTourist.com (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/United_States_of_America/Massachusetts/Plymouth-796000/TravelGuide-Plymouth.html): For a truly traditional Thanksgiving, head out to Plymouth, Massachusetts and see what is believed to be the welcome mat of all welcome mats. A vibrant town with a myriad of attractions, historic and otherwise, this is the place for the ultimate traditional Thanksgiving. Be forewarned, though, most visitors report surprise at the relatively small size of this legendary stone.

2) Thanksgiving Grocery Store; Paris, France (r day panning for gold pays off!/PPbr //PPbr /4) Loy Krathong Festival; Thailand: We don't remember anything about the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock in a lighted boat, but maybe that's because they hadn't seen the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand. Held each year around the end of November, this water procession of multi-colored, brightly lit vessels may not be the traditional Thanksgiving Day parade, but the views are just as stunning. /PPbr //PPbr /5) The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum; Leiden, the Netherlands: Before making the trip to what is now America, the Pilgrims made a quick stop-over in Leiden--who knew This extensive museum shows what life was like for them during that time as well as the very interesting history of this historic town. /PPbr //PPbr /6) Poutine; Quebec, Canada (a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/Canada/Province_of_Quebec/Quebec-905108/TravelGuide-Quebec.html"linkClick( this.href );">http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/Canada/Province_of_Quebec/Quebec-905108/TravelGuide-Quebec.html): If you think Americans do gravy right, you should try it up in Canada. Yes, your cholesterol will jump a few points, but this traditional dish of heavy gravy on French fries rivals anything on an American Thanksgiving table.

7) Chapel of Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving Square, Dallas, Texas (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Middle_East/Turkey/Istanbul_Ili/Istanbul-1837624/TravelGuide-Istanbul.html): While not the capital of Turkey, Istanbul is the country's largest city and according to VirtualTourist.com members, also its most beautiful. It might be tough to find floats and football, but with mosques, restaurants and enough shopping centers to get a jump on those holiday present lists, you'll be thankful you came.
