Well let me begin by saying that although there were no turkey sandwich leftovers, and no pumkin pies, we had a truly wonderful Thanksgiving! The burgers were delish, as were the mashers (prepared by an English girl -I think that's what she called them), the corn (purchased by two very fit swiss brothers from the produce stand all the way down the hill), and the mate (supplied by a native Barilochian who thought she was just stopping by before her date). Before the food festival all our our guests were required to say what they were thankful for- entirley in Espanol! Ten people from all over the world with varying levels of vocabulary and all kinds of accents trying to express themselves after many, many toasts -let's just say it wasn't perfect spanish but it was a perfect evening.
I was surprised to find myself truly sad as we boarded the bus back to Buenas Aires. The peace and beauty in Bariloche is hard to beat.
And now that we are back in the big city the questions begin to pile up. Where are we going to live? Do we want to go to the beach for xmas? Should I go through the school for a spanish tutor? How can I maill all this unnecessary crap that I brought with me home? What are these chips? How can they be so delishious!?! I know that is not really a decision, but Brent just handed me a mediterraneas sabor chip and it blew me away!
Anyhow, we looked at an apartment today. It was very affordable ($700) but no AC. We have three more apartments to see this week. One is in a building with a pool. I have my fingers crossed for that one. They all are in Palermo near the parks and I cannot wait to start running through them!

Gotta get our loft in Atlanta Rented!!
OK, we are getting down to the wire and need to rent our loft before we leave the country!! It really is a very cool loft in a very artsy area of Atlanta called Castelberry Hill. Way back when it was called "Snake nation" because it was essentially the red light district. Today it has a ton of galleries, restaurants, bars, etc. and is walking distance to great music venues like The Tabernacle and Centennial Park. It is also a short walk to CNN Center, the Georgia Dome for football and Philips arena for Basketball and Hockey. It is ready to move into and goes for $1,400 per month with garage parking and extra parking in a gated area for guests. Check the pics!! 2 beds, 2 baths, 20 foot ceilings and walls of windows, hardwoods, 1600 square feet of living space!
