Feliz Navidad!

Hola and Feliz Navidad from Kino Bay, Mexico. What a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70's and little wind. Yes, I was in the Christmas spirit!! We turned the TV on in the morning and actually had a picture. We watched two different Christmas Parades as Peg made a pumpkin pie for the Christmas Dinner that would happen at 3 pm here in the resort. The picture to the right is one of the walkways to the beach.

Believe it or not, Peg and Donna went clamming a few days ago and ended up with about 8 dozen clams!! They were small, but boy were they good. We stuffed ourselves with the clams and tortillas. Of course a little wine and Tecate (Mexican beer) was also in order!

We took a walk down the bluff to the Sea of Cortez to dump our left over clam shells from our dinner last night. Chuck, Donna and Annaka (their Yorkie Terrier) also took a walk. Annaka loves bird feathers and she returned to the motorhome with two feathers proudly clinched in her teeth. Feathers she had picked up along the beach during their walk. She was very happy!

The Christmas Dinner is a big event here. I believe everyone in the park was there and even a few other people I did not recognize. There was ham and turkey on the tables and a variety of other goodies on the main food table. Too much food...Too little time! After the main course, we all headed for the desert table. Of course it was a diabetics nightmare! I did not have too much desert but it was sure tempting. Peg and I and Chuck and Donna sat together. It was fun meeting some other people (one couple from the Netherlands originally, now living in Vancover, BC). Of course we chatted with many of the new people we had met here as well.

Not sure how we made it home with all the food we ate but, somehow, we walked back to the coach and plopped down in the living room and watched a little TV to end our day. Again, we viewed a unique sunset. What a nice way of celebrating Christmas 2008 on the shores of the Sea of Cortez!

Sounds like you guys are really having fun -- a belated Merry Christmas and hope that 2009 is everything you hope for!!

Had a great time in CO and got back safe and sound. Picked up your motor in Phoenix.

See you in a week or so as we will be in Desert Shadows till the 9th and assuming you will be there for the one night you are in Casa Grande.
