What would you do with an extra day in SA?

This year is a leap year and we asked our readers how they would spend the extra day, here’s what they said.

Red and white calendar blocks spelling out February 29.

Let’s celebrate Leap Day 2024.

It’s 2024, and we have a special February that only comes around once every four years. That’s right, we’re talking about Leap Year. Instead of the traditional 28 days, we are treated with 29. This is due to the Earth not quite taking exactly 365 days to revolve around the sun — it is actually 365.25 days.

With this additional day, we got to know you, our readers, a little bit better and how you want to spend the extra day.

What readers would do

Reader Danielle W. plans to go on a five-mile hike with her huskies and then come home to eat some conchas from La Panaderia.

We think Mr. G would find Amor Eterno the perfect place to go to in the evening.

Mr. G thinks he’ll clean up the house but will end up watching Netflix instead. Then he’ll have brunch with his friends, visit a speakeasy in the evening, and ending the day with referring his friends to subscribe to SATXtoday. Good choice.

An anonymous reader said that they are spending the day with their son, Björn, because it’s his birthday. Happy birthday Björn.
