Day 75, Year 10: Era la noche antes de Navidad
Date: Wednesday, December 24, 2014
Weather: Beautiful, Sunny Day, Temp in the 80’s F
Location: Visiting with Justin, Jo, Ziggy, and Coco in Aguada, PR
‘Twas the night before Christmas (Era la noche antes de Navidad) and everything here is as quiet as a mouse. After a day of running about to get the final things needed for Christmas, we started our celebration. When Mark and I got home from the ‘last’ trip to the grocery store, Justin and Jo had Christmas music playing and it really added to the Christmas spirit. We helped get dinner underway and then we watched Ziggy and Coco while Justin and Jo walked down the street to pick up fresh goat’s milk. While they were gone, we gave Ziggy and Coco their Christmas ornaments for this year—small wooden sailboats that can hang on the tree or float in the bathtub. When Justin and Jo got home, we had our fish curry dinner. Mark and I picked up the fish from a guy on the side of the road. He said it was robo (maybe rojo), but we have no idea what it really was. Regardless, it was good. After dinner, Ziggy and Coco opened a present from Mummy and Daddy and one from Oma and Granddad. They each got a book and a set of washable markers. I gave them some special paper and they wrote their letters to Santa with the new markers. Then they set out some treats for the jolly ol’ soul and hurried off to the bedroom to read their books and go to sleep. They are very excited for the arrival of Santa Claus.
Before dinner, Heather called to check in from Maine. She, Jed, and the boys drove there yesterday and have been in a whirlwind of activity getting ready for Santa’s arrival. We’ll look forward to talking to them tomorrow, hopefully on Skype video. I’m not sure how early Santa arrives here in Puerto Rico, but I figure we should get to bed in case he comes early.
