Two of my friends didn´t think I would last more than three months in South America so we did what any mature grown ups would do and decided to settle the matter with a ¨slap bet.¨ But this isn´t a simple one-slap slap bet. We upped the ante this time – 3 slaps, whenever the winner so chooses.
I left the US on September 14th. Today is Thursday, November 26th. The number of days until December 14th: 18
Happy Thanksgiving to all! I wish I could spend the holiday with my family eating a delicious spread of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, watching American football, but instead I will have to settle for completos, churrascos and pichanga.
