Christmas Day Dawns...Sunny and 70!

The morning breaks with a clear sky!  Sunshine streams down the beach.  Breakfast with friends...in short sleeves and flip flops!  What a concept....as we still struggle with how this time of year and this holiday can be celebrated in a warm climate.

Dolphins cruise the bay this morning, stopping to fish close to the beach.  I jump and run to the water's edge to watch them.

Then a whale shark glides by.  We jump in the kayaks and paddle like crazy...how can something SO big...slip by us without another sight?


Which pup has the Santa hat over his nose?  Guess!

A little kayaking, chatting with friends, sitting with another cup of coffee....a lovely day spent in a lovely way.


Dinner at Hotel Serenidad
Evening brings a beach community Christmas dinner at Hotel Serenidad in Mulege.  I wonder...what will it be?  Turns out to look very familiar!  Turkey!  Dressing, potatoes, cranberries, green beans, gravy, salad and finally a Mexican addition: Tres Leche Cake!  Oh, well...and cervezas and margaritas!

Great turkey dinner.....all we did was show up!

Guess who drove home?!
Early dinner, home by dark...to watch the candles flicker one last eve...lighting up the beach and drawing the first day of Christmas to a close.
