Thanksgiving Picado
As Argentina is five hours ahead of California we waited until about one o’clock before we called our parents to with them a Happy Thanksgiving. It is a little strange being down here in the sun of Southern Argentina where the holiday means nothing. It was good to talk to our families at home. I’ll definitely miss the turkey, stuffing, and eggnog.
We picked up the backups of our hard drive that a local computer store owner had made for us on DVDs. With the copies in hand we breathed a sigh of relief as not if something were to happen to the computer, all our pictures won’t go with it.
Speaking of pictures we spent several more hours preparing and uploading photos onto the site. Em set a world record with the number of photos taken in the Galapagos. It is unbelievable how long it is taking us.
Tonight, after work, Nacho told us that we were going to head over to his friend Armando’s house where we would have a picado. What that meant is that we headed to a casa de empanadas and bought about 20 empanadas to bring to his place. Next we were on to the store where we bought some bread, beer, cheese, and chorizo. When we arrived we laid everything out on the table and feast on all delicious food while swapped stories and shared a few laughs.
Although Armando has never taken a class he is an amazing painter. About 10 of his painting are hung around their house and all are top-notch. He and his wife and kids are planning on moving to northern Brazil in a year or so. One day I’m going to have to track him down to paint us something for us.
All in all it was a good Thanksgiving.
