Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Bolivia


Thanksgiving is a U.S. holiday so Bolivians don't celebrate it. But I do! There is so much to be thankful for, how could I not? There is a large American community here in Bolivia and most families celebrate in a big way even though we have to make some strange compromises.

It's spring time here and HOT so that's sort of different. Also some of the traditional foods are hard to get - like cranberries. The price of pecans is through the roof, although they're produced here, and my candied yams always have pink marshmallows (can't find white ones, don't know why), but I celebrate giving thanks FULL OUT and I always share it with my Bolivian friends.

Sign up to receive my monthly newsletter BELLA NEWS to find out how I celebrate here in Bolivia. (I have a very special tradition!) November's issue of BELLA NEWS will be sent out on November 20th so hurry! It will be a national holiday too here some day if I have anything to do with that. I am on a mission!
