it's a bit odd to be in latin america for the quintessential american holiday, and it's a shame not to be with family today. however, there is a good thanksgiving feast planned for tonight that i'm looking forward to. one of kristie's staff members is hosting tonight, and we're having roast chickens (turkeys are unavailable in b.a.) and all sorts of other thanksgiving treats. i'm going to try and make sweet potatoes happen, we'll see how that works out.
I'm headed out of town for a two day trip tomorrow. i was going to go to iguazu falls, but it's 17 hours up there, and just too much hassle. instead, i think i'll jump on a ferry across the river to Uruguay, seeing Colonia and Montevideo, then come back Sunday morning to go to Tierra Santa with Kristie and her brother, who gets into town this weekend.
La Tierra Santa (http://www.tierrasanta-bsas.com.ar/) is Argentina's religious theme park, and it's meant to score a 10 out of 10 on the unintentional comedy scale. I'm looking forward to seeing the Resurrection, which takes place every half hour!
Then Sunday night I'll jump on the overnight bus to Mendoza, where I plan to spend another week or so. Everyone I've talked to loved the place, from natives of b.a. to the judge I used to work for in Seattle. I've been practicing my spanish here, but I think Mendoza will be a relaxed (and cheap) place to enroll in some classes and finally get my verbs in decent shape. Buenos Aires is amazing, but I'm ready for a less massive city for a while. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving from Forks, WA. Larson family has a lot to be thankful for with Luke getting home safely yesterday. Have enjoyed reading your updates, anyway we can get some more pictures to go along with the stories. At our prayer breakfast yesterday, Rhys & I wanted to know what this chick your staying with looks like.
Also, we have freedom to be thankful for. Jen was wearing her "got freedom" shirt this morning & it was a big hit.
