Autumn swept me up--it came and went before I could catch my breath! My mom came to visit, my roommates and I had an Indians and Pilgrims party, I celebrated a pretty authentic Thanksgiving with family (twenty people!), I made the biggest purchase of the warmest puffy jacket evah, I crunched the crunchy leaves on the ground, I went ice skating at the Frog Pond in the Commons, I listened to good live music and drank pumpkin beer! Most of all I've enjoyed the company of wonderful friends, family and coworkers. Living near my cousin twins is the best because I'm in constant giggle fits--it's just what we do.
It's fun to think about being in Chile last year and where I'll be located next year. There is a lot to learn from everywhere you go and everyone you meet..lucky for me to have such variety as it is the spice of life after all! This year I am thankful as always for my family who continue to make me laugh endlessly and keep me warm. As the holidays quickly approach I want to remind myself to be kind and tolerant, to take good care of myself and others and to continue to learn.
Indians and Pilgrims!
If you don't like mini pumpkin and red velvet cupcakes we probably can't be friends.
I love my mom and we love breakfast.

Grandmama's 84th birthday--babies. cake. & drinks. =happy campers! I love going to the south to see my family. We celebrated Grandmama's 48th* birthday with a carrot cake, double chocolate cake and a lemon cheesecake. There was Elvis, dancing, and plenty of food. I wish we lived closer so I could see my wonderful family more but I'm happy that we get to visit often.
*Grandmama requested this be her 48th birthday :) Read more...

This year was an especially interesting Christmas..HOT weather, a mezcla of cultures, and delicious food. Luckily for me it was all my favorite foods--seafood, guacamole, onions and peppers, salad, carrot cake, chocolate cheesecake, fudge, apricot and nectarine tart, and raspberry jam cookies. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas away from home. In true Daly tradition, we took a long walk after all the eating towards Plaza de Armas and spotted the three wise men.
Merry Merry Merry!

Merry Christmas to all!
This is my first Christmas apart from my family. Although this is a little triste I am thankful to have a wonderful Chilean family to celebrate with! The amazingness of technology enabled me to see my family's lovely faces last night and again today. I am thankful for so much--friends, food, health, opportunity, new experiences, learning, teaching and family family family. Christmas is a time for reflection on the year past and the year to come. I can't wait to see what adventures happen next! Wishing you and yours the best this holiday and many besos y abrazos a todas! Love! Food! Happiness!
ps. Due to the very HOT weather here (90s!) We are having a giant Christmas bbq today! Will post pictures soon!
