Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving to all back home!  On this special occasion, I hope that you enjoy the company of family and friends.  This is my favorite day of the year and, although Bolivia does not celebrate this holiday, it is impossible to ignore all of the beautiful gifts that surround us and merit thanksgiving.  Here are a few that are meaningful to me…
