Thanksgiving in Peru!

November 26th, 2009 pmmcgo11

Although they obviously don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here, tonight I went out to dinner with the group of Holy Cross students along with all of our closest friends from the University, the study abroad program director, and our cultural advisor. It was a really nice night and it was great to do something as a group, especially during a time like Thanksgiving when we are all thinking about our families and our homes.

PB270148Earlier today I also “skyped” with my family…almost my entire immediate family. We always have Thanksgiving at my grandparent’s house (the parents of my mom), and this year was no different. My mom brought her laptop to my grandparent’s house and I skyped with my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, my sisters, and my parents. In total about thirty people. It was really nice to talk to everyone because I really have not been able to keep in touch with my entire family…especially since my family is so big (my dad’s side of the family is double the size of my mom’s side).

Now I am off to finish up some final projects, papers, etc. The next couple weeks will be extremly busy, but I cannot believe I only have about two weeks left of my first semester!

Ciao,

Peter
