Wow, I can hardly believe that it’s that time of year again! In Spanish, Thanksgiving is called, “El Día de Acción de Gracias.” I apologize for being such a profligate blogger (sorry Z!), but I promise to update more frequently in the future.
I have so much to be thankful for this year – a wonderful family, great friends in Ecuador and the States, a roof over my head, and a good Thanksgiving meal! I won’t be eating turkey (yes, I am still a vegetarian), but I’ll be celebrating with a big group of Peace Corps friends in Loja. We even have a game of flag football planned! I was lucky enough to go home to vote in this historic election, so I am also thankful that Barack Obama will be our new President!
Most of all, I am thankful for and proud of the opportunity to serve my country as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Best wishes for a fantastic Turkey Day with friends and family!
Abrazos, Ann
