My Thanksgiving Day

My first Thanksgiving Day is today, because the countries where I lived before to Canada, never celebrated this day. I think, it is an interesting custom in Canada, and excellent opportunity for meet families and share a table with delicious, and traditional food, but for me the most important goal is the opportunity for giving thanks to god for abundance harvests. In all places of the Calgary make a reference to Thanksgiving Day, my impression is great about this day and I am exciting. I live alone, but today, I celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a Venezuelan family, they are living in Calgary and enjoy this celebration. This weekend, I helped my friends in the selection of the menu and some items. I want to learn about food for this day and reviewed in internet some dishes and recipes. I now that in Canadian families, the recipes is a tradition that pass to generation in generation, is common that the recipes to made a cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie, have a special secret of the most grandmothers. I love cook for special days, and I like found traditional menus. I copy some wonderful recipes for my personal record. I enjoy some tradition of countries in South America and I think that I incorporate this Canadian tradition in my life too.

My first time in Calgary

Last January, I arrived in Calgary, this experience was really exciting and, I started a new life. My trip Caracas to Calgary had three stopovers; the first was in Bogota, the second in Mexico and, last was in Toronto. I remember when I arrived to Toronto, because it was my first experience in a country, where people speak English. I was a little nervous, but I understood all immigration instructions and my trip ended perfect. When I arrived in Calgary my impression was bad, because it was winter, and the view in the city was grey and white, a lot of snow covered the ground, my feeling was lonely. In the airport my best friend and her family were waited with me. They prepared a little tour in the city, and always helped me to found each place that I needed to visit. In my second day in Calgary I started my English course in University of Calgary; my first week in Calgary was really interesting and unforgettable, because I started a new life.
