We chose to have a quiet family Thanksgiving this year just the 4 of us. Maybe next year we will do the whole big thing with friends, but this year we felt the need to circle the wagons. I made reservations at Restaurante Don Colon in the Coronel Hotel. Don Colon is an Ecuadorian who lived in Naples, Florida for several years and he was serving a traditional U.S. Thanksgiving meal. It was actually quite good except it could have been a bit warmer. We had turkey with stuffing and gravy, garlic bread, sweet potato, carrots and green beans, and cranberry sauce that we suspect was actually mora(blackberry). Dessert was apple pie that I didn't care for at all. While eating, both the local paper, El Tiempo, and the local news station came in and took pictures and interviewed the guests and Don Colon. It was pretty funny. After dinner we walked to San Blas and got MORE dessert. Ice cream! Mixx has the best gourmet ice cream in town. It is really good.

I try not to leave my camera at home for reasons like this.
This woman was in this capsule trying to catch the pieces of
paper that were flying around. I have no idea why. |
