Feliz Navidad

We are so lucky it´s citrus season!  And extra lucky to have a hand juicer thanks to Mema! (and Jody and Elaine, I believe!)  Thanks again!  It has been used everyday.
This is Roberto.  He is 85 years old, can barely walk, but still rides his horse on this 6 hour round trip.  He sat down and passed a couple of hours with us under our palapa.  We gave him juice and some quesadillas (one of the only things we guessed he could eat with his 6 remaining teeth).
A couple of the fishermen at Punta Chalacatepec excited about their catch of the day (it was actually dieing when they found it).  They immediately set to cutting off the fins- the most valuable part thanks to the value in China.  They are worth more than all the meat on this shark.
Fish cooking over a beach campfire on our grill/roof rack that Chet and Griffin so cleverly crafted.  Thanks Chet!  It is appreciated.
Our Christmas Tree.  A gift from the fishermen... sadly a piece of coral that was trapped in their net, but a very kind gift from them.
Griffin studying the waves at Punta Las Peñitas.


Just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!  After a few days without surf, we ran up the coast to check out a couple of spots (including Punta Las Peñitas) and now are back at Chalacatepec. More later... Feliz Navidad!
