Hola from the tropics. Today I had to log in some hours at the office in the AM. Seems like things are picking up a wee bit. There are some tourists in among the sea of nationals who have descended upon Samara for a bit of holiday sun and surf. The weather is phenomenal. Cool breezes blowing in the night and morning and heating up to 85 or so. Today, Afro is taking the whole gang to Playa Buena Vista for some surf fishing. He has been supplying us with lobster all week too. He gave us a beautiful handmade bowl of Guanacaste wood for Christmas.

Marco is lovin all his Christmas haul and enjoying all the holiday chaos. He is also sprouting some molars so he can be a bit grumpy at times. Angel is busy looking after a houseful of folks, the garden, the cooking and all the tasks that present living here on the edge of civilization, and being the official ranch quad mama. Keep it comin! Love, DAD
