One of the challenges to daily blogging is coming up with a unique title for each post. These days I do a quick search to make sure I’ve not used my proposed title previously. For example, today I had planned to call this post “Feast your eyes,” but turns out I’ve used that twice before, most recently in December 2018. Ah, the agony of having to think of something else.

So, last night’s Thanksgiving dinner at Papagayo was fine. Nice to hang out with some fellow expats in a nice venue with great views. The food itself was tasty enough, what little of it there was. I mean, the whole idea is having a feast on this holiday and what I got was little more than a sampler plate. Oh, and the meal cost was borderline insane–1200 pesos–that’s more than twenty bucks. Oh well, we sucked it up and enjoyed ourselves in true Thanksgiving fashion. Next year if I dine out, though, I’m going to be looking for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Going back for seconds (or thirds) is part of my tradition.

Everyone went their separate ways after the meal. Lydell and I had a beer at Cheap Charlies, then walked together to the Snackbar, where I treated the girls to some blueberry cheesecake and lady drinks for Thanksgiving. And then I went home. Alone.

My Thursday morning walk was pleasant enough, but nothing special.

You can Relive the hike if you please.

So, that was how my Thanksgiving went down this year. I’m thankful I was alive here to enjoy it. Here’s hoping I can say the same next year!
