We returned to Santiago the morning of Thanksgiving, just in time to celebrate with Clare and her ND classmates at her host family’s house. Although we had anticipated that our Thanksgiving in Chile would be far from traditional, it turns out the ND kids planned and executed a classic - and delicious - feast!
Since they had school that day, we gathered that evening. The weather was sunny and lovely, so the outdoor space was the perfect place to party. Nearly all of the students came, plus Felipe, the liaison between ND and Pontificia Universidad who was tremendously helpful as Clare navigated the engineering courses. It was a very merry group!
Pancho (Clare’s host brother) was determined to spend more time talking to us, which was nice but also challenged my Spanish speaking skills. Fortunately he was happy to do most of the talking!
We ended the evening with full hearts (and stomachs), grateful for the experience of both family and new friends.
