World Calendar Day

Dia del Amor y la Amistad

Colombians celebrate this on the third Saturday of September in some regions, but February 14 still brings roses, serenatas, and the aggressive marketing of every restaurant in the Zona Rosa. The real Colombian love language is bringing someone a tinto when they didn't ask for one.

Dia di Amor i Saudadi

Valentine's Cape Verdean style, where saudade is the deeper emotion. You can love someone who is here. Saudade is for the one who left, who is in Lisbon or Rotterdam or Boston, whose voice on the phone is not the same as their arms around you. Today is for the ones who are far away and the ache that proves the love is real.

Animals of Iceland Day
