Perfect day to catch up on the Recoleta Cemetery blog... haven't had much time to dedicate to it this year. I started by adding a historic photo to the Luis Viale post: recoletacemetery.com?p=6893

As much as I love the Thanksgiving feast, perhaps my favorite part is making soup from the carcass & all the roasted veggies for the next day... cozy & comforting

So... that was a feast! Negronis on the patio (cuz it was sunny & warm), followed by a ton of food. The tomato aspic rocked, like a solid gazpacho, & apple blondies subbed for pumpkin pie. Tasty & worth the effort. Happy Thanksgiving, from our house to yours!

One thing I love about celebrating US Thanksgiving in Spain is that we're the only ones on holiday... it's like our own private festivo 🦃

Love playing with the Roman road map at itiner-e.org
Everyone in my town has heard about the road that passed through here, but no one has ever found a trace... & very odd that a road didn't lead to Munigua 🤔
