Sucre for Thanksgiving

Clearly it has been a while since I've posted anything as I'm about to put up some pictures from Thanksgiving. Even in my second year running, it is odd to have a hot Thanksgiving. We celebrated the weekend before over here at the compound I live on. Three turkeys and all the fixings. Yum, makes me hungry just thinking about it. It is nice to celebrate the holiday with my family down here. All of us away from home but give us a little turkey and nostalgia starts flowing. It is like we are all back with our families eating, it was a lot of fun.

For the actual time off, I headed to Sucre with Mike and Julie. It was my 4th time there and I just can't imagine ever being sick of it. It is a small college town with old colonial history. The small cobble streets are lined with white buildings and it is a nice slow pace of life. People even talk slower which is great for me. It makes me feel like my year and a half of spanish is paying off! We went out to see the dinosaur tracks but it was really dissapointing. When I went in June with my parents, you could walk right up to the tracks. I'm sure that made archeologists around the world just sick! Now there is this view point but even with binoculars, you can't see how big the tracks really are. Having seen it before, I could still appreciate it. But if it was your first time, like Mike and Julie, I have to agree that it was a bit lame.

Aside from the dinosaur tracks we didn't do a whole lot. Long meals, naps, books and TV movies. It was a nice time. I can't wait to take Tracey there.
