Happy New Year! South American Style!

Man it's good to have a new year don't you think?


Nicolas stayed up late to celebrate our new year at a beach resort on the venezuelan coast that Martha's brother recommended (he works there) . Nicolas had a great time at the beach. He loved the ocean and the pool and the sand and all of it. Me? I loved the pina coladas and snorkling and... well pretty much everything.



We had a fine christmas too with Nicolas playing baby jesus during a neighborhood Mass. All the neighbors here gather for caroling venezuelan style (involves drums and a cuatro) and then we have treats. A great idea all around. Nicolas is the rock star of our venezuelan tour and get's plenty of attention whereever we go.

Time is flying by and soon we are back to lack-of-sleep lives and cold weather but for now we are spending the next few days enjoying caracas with martha's family and hopefully getting in some more hammock nap-time.
