Culebra Gifts ~ Happy Christmas!

This won't fit in a stocking, but here is some Culebra Christmas Eve. Thank you, readers, for all you give to me all year long!

Maybe next year I'll focus first. Maybe not!
Feliz Navidad!

Chuck and Jorge
I didn't know they were born in the same hospital!
(but not on the same day or year)

Jorge explains a great piece of Culebra art

This couple came in bearing gifts, cool LED keychains.
Thanks!!
I'm not quite sure how this got so blurry,
but I love this guy so he's staying!

A Culebra Christmas always includes the horses

Brave little man

Tonight she'll be full but she was very, very close last night
Have a frolicking Christmas Friday! Do something forward.

Culebra Christmas Eve (day and night)


The day could not have been more beautiful
I love the tradition at Milka's of having Santa show up for the kids (and the kid inside some of the adults). It's not really because of Santa, who, when I first moved here, wasn't really part of the scene, in favor of Three King's Day. But anytime you can see everyone really happy, and experience such generosity of spirit that Hector, Sandra, family and friends provide, is a good time.
And Sandra? That carrot cake roll? It was amazing!

Nice job, Santa, thanks for stopping by!

Waiting for Santa
And here he is!
Sandra, Hector and guy about to eat something yummy!




Daphne, not quite sure what to think of Santa

More goodies!


 And a good time was had by all!

The evening brought...an earthquake! Apparently around 7:30, Puerto Rico experienced a 5.1 (or 5.4, I've read both) shaking. I think I was listening to music about then and didn't notice it, but lots of people on PR, Vieques and Culebra felt it. Nothing since then...a good thing. A very good thing.

It also brought music...Son de Culebra at Dinghy Dock and Wiki's Sound Machine at Mamacita's. I bailed out lots earlier than I thought I would, but I have no doubt a very good time continued to be had by all, all over the island. I took a video of them to have here, playing White Christmas, but for some reason <grrrrrrrr> Google won't allow this particular video here. Maybe later...after I deal with their Grinchy spirit.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good day! Peace and love, pass it on.
