Celebrating Christmas here has been a new experience for us, this being our first Christmas away from home.   RV’ers are a pretty ingenious bunch, and about the second week in December we started to notice trailers, and motorhomes being decorated for the festive season.   The following photos are representative of the type of decorating that was done.

On Christmas day, a group dinner was organized.   Everyone was asked to bring a favorite dish.   A fantastic dinner was had including salads, turkey, ham, potatoes, vegatables, and topped off with a giant cake made by a local lady in Lo de Marcos.   A good time was had by all.

For Nicole and I Christmas is a time of giving.   We heard of a local Mexican family that was going through a difficult period.   In November the father had to have a kidney remove, and had been unable to work.   We prepared a food hamper, and bought gifts for their three children.   Delivering the gifts to their casa was a great experience.   The children excitedly unwrapped the gifts, while their mother had tears in her eyes.   We have since become friends with the Aguila family and invited them for a day at the beach with us.
