HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

So we´re a little late. Actually, it´s a wonder that we celebrated on the correct day because the not-so-famous, famous columbian musicians told us Thanksgiving was the 20th of November. We thought we missed it altogether!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with some new American friends, Paul and Dan from Long Island. These guys are our heros. They were visiting Peru because one day they were talking nonsense and said "Let´s go to Peru!" and eachone was waiting for the other person to say the trip was a crazy idea and couldn´t happen. But as the weeks passed, neither one did. So they bought plane tickets and came for a month. Paul, to get a month off from his job, actually had to quit his job and concequently move back in with his parents. Talk about a life decision. Paul and Dan made our Thanksgiving very happy with their Long Island accents, lack of pick-up lines (there were a few bad ones when we visited the Love Park in Lima, but mostly from all the pressure of the romantic poems written beautifully on the walls) and frequent beer-pong references. We´d forgotten about these days.

We went to a restaurant owned by Americans and ordered Philly-cheese steaks and other American joys. After our meal, the owners surprised us with a plate of turkey (with which we immediately thought "Is someone robbing us?" :P)

Later that night, again with our blotation devices, we went to, see Cyndi Lauper in concert. Some friends of ours in Lima told us she´d be in concert, they invited us. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day than by singing Time After Time with good ol´ Cyndi!

We celebrated the day of thanks in the most American, South American way possible... in Lima, Peru with Cyndi Lauper and Philly Cheese steaks :)
