We went to Los Cosmico for breakfast Christmas Morning. It was excellent!!
These are a few pics of breakfast and later in the afternoon the gorgeous waves.

First Nativity Scene and Second



The first nativity scene basically melted after it decided to rain for 2 day...craziest thing...it´s hot and lovely again, but i ended up buy ing the 2nd Nativity scene...it will make a nice keepsake.

Our Wreath, ...


I got this gorgeous wreath on market day for $50 pesos, normally $100 pesos, and I got the poinsettas for $25 peso, Chico said that was avery good deal because they had wanted $70 earlier, so it worked out well we waited. We had a very minimal Christmas, I ended up getting the tree and lights and things then really had nothing left except rent...and food...luckily John and Charlotte were Santas helpers and Charlotte got lots of little things in the states at the $1 store and so she really saved the day...her and John also gave us lovely tye-dyed t-shirt-me and dress for Angel. We had a nice breakfast and Christmas was just very simple...part me was feeling guilty for not giving more material things...but that is also the part that is trying to stop doing that...the night before we went to say the Rosario and after was food and a drink and 3 piñatas that was very cool for Angel. Here are the pics if they go up.

Stopped Raining & Navidad Count Down

Finally stopped raining...it started yesterday at sunrise...people couldn't believe it, it never rains here in December...anyways...my laundry turned into a disaster...it{s all damp and smelly and I made nativity scene out of flour, salt and water..(playdoh) and it all got gooey because there was no sun...and it{s been proper cold here, as Sara would say...definitely chilly. I wore a sweater and jeans all day...but Angel wore the usual for most of the day, just jeans for a bit. Lots of people swam, they say it was warm, but i didn{t feel like getting cold. Well only 5 sleeps to Santa, Angel is getting very exciting and I got lots of little loose ends to tie up. Okay Felice Navidad....counting down..!!!

Barracuda


Remember El Hongos...well now it is BARRACUDA!!!

Remember the scaffolding place I showed you a while back well here it is and it is looking really nice, but once again..it has a swimming pool and I thought there wasn{t even enough water for the town and it{s over 3 storeys another no no I thought...
but it looks really pretty and i love the couchs and the pool looks very cool.
