El dia de accion de gracias - Thanksgiving Day
In Argentina Thanksgiving Day is just another day, but I wanted it to still feel like Thanksgiving. At least to me. So I decided to treat the day like a holiday. I slept in, then mosy-ed around in my PJs. Since I couldn't have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner I decided to stuff my face (in true turkey day style) with all my favorite Argentinian foods. That meant lunch at my favorite pizza place, deserts from my favorite bakery, a couple of glasses of sweet white wine, and of course a steak dinner and more wine (channeling my inner Chantel, lol). Then I finished the night with some ice cream at home. Yummy...and super full. I'm sure that I ate about 4,000 calories in the day, but it was definitely worth it.
I also saw a movie in the afternoon, a nice rom com with Julia I forget her last name. It was nice and called, in Spanish, A Segunda Oportunidad. (A weird thing about coming home will be figuring out what all the movies I've seen here are called in English. The movie titles are very rarely literally translated into their Spanish equivalent. Usually a completely different phrase is used). The highlight of my day though, was facetiming with my family. It was great to see them and from the looks of it everyone enjoyed the day. I wish I could've been there.
One holiday down and a few more to go, including my birthday! I think I'll quickly get the hang of celebrating holidays outside of the U.S.
