Things that I found myself being grateful for as I tried desperately to prepare a turkey in a Bolivian oven, without ever having done so in a normal oven before in my life:

• Bolivia.
• Friends, new and old. Around the world.
• An unconditionally supportive family.
• This unexpected time in my life to explore this continent, myself, my thoughts on the future and what has come before.
• Potatoes.

Thanksgiving is a fabulous holiday, and this year’s was certainly memorable.

Thanks. Gracias. Pachi.
