The past several weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind for me, albeit a really fun one that I was more than happy to get swept up in. I guess that's how Noviembre (November) came and went so quickly. As I type this, I am realizing that I can no longer say "solo dos meses mas" (only two more months) when talking about how much time I have left living in Buenos Aires. Now the calendar is telling me there's just a little more than one month left.
Brian was here for two full weeks!! That in itself would have been great, but we also squeezed in a really awesome trip while he was down here, traveling first to Mendoza and then on to Chile by bus through the Andes. We returned to Buenos Aires to spend five days with my sister, Marie, and her boyfriend, Michael. What a wonderful few weeks it has been!
Many of you have asked me if I celebrated Thanksgiving in Argentina. I feel lucky to have been able to spend the day with Brian, Marie and Michael. Yes, a few really important people were missing, but it was as much as I could have hoped for being so far from home. Instead of chancing a potentially less than delicious traditional Thanksgiving feast, we opted for something traditionally Argentine at La Fachada (means, the facade). This place turns out some of my favorite empanadas in the city. They even have an open-faced variety which are especially spectacular. Anyways, I do hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine. I have so many things to be thankful for this year, the least of which is getting to spend five months in a different corner of the world.
Stay tuned for details and photos from our recent trip. I promise them soon.
Chau.
