In the end our Christmas day was much like any other year…
phone calls to absent loved ones, too much food, drink and sunshine : )
Cup of tea, presents opening in bed, a walk around the lake,
detour to the local church,
Christmas dinner, odd glass of champagne.
We watched the sun go down with the Christmas tree slowly taking on the role of providing the warm glow. Then a bit of a picky tapas tea and that carefully selected DVD – Inception. It was excellent – one that we need to watch twice… just as well as we don’t have that many and there is only so much Mexican radio anyone can take.
Then bed listening to the fireworks (Mexicans across the border we assume)
Christmas – DONE!
Thank you for your Christmas greetings and messages. It was great to get so many emails and to speak to the children (bless ‘em) and family.
We are thinking about you all at this special time.
On the 27th we go further north (Garner State Park, Cocan, Texas) and then on the 29th off west to Seminole Canyon State Park (Constock, Texas) for the New Year including a tour of the renowned? Fate Bell Shelter - ancient Indian pictographs (cave paintings to us).
Jan 2nd 2011!! will see us venture into the mountains (Big Bend National Park, Fort Davis, Guadalupe NP etc) and a rather cold awakening we think – jeans and socks are washed and ready.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Den and Jane X
