Wednesday Morning, December 17, 2008









Since my last entry our older daughter and her family arrived from Seattle, just escaping a very snowy storm. Our younger daughter and family will arrive on Saturday.



We are getting settled in. Stacia's family is staying in our house, but our extra rental does not have the accomodations we are used to, like a working bbq, a good kitchen, fans in each room, etc. We end of using the kitchen in our house for most of the meal preparation.


Above is Clay with a Langostino from the fish market. Lonnie made Pad Thai with Langostinos, sans wheat, since three of us are gluten sensitive.


Before meeting the flight I shopped at an old mall we like, El Dorado. There was a string orchestra playing Feliz Navidad. We hear that song a lot. A lot of the Christmas decorations have pine trees and snow, which we don't understand.


We went to a big party on Tuesday night at Jeanette's house. She knows everyone, so there were at least one hundred expats attending.


We have had an hour or so of rain each day for a few days now. We are nearing the end of the rainy season.


I a few hours we are going to drive to La Chorrera. We hope to find a fishing rod for Lonnie. There is some good fishing nearby at Malibu. The co-op fishes these waters with nets, but there should be some for catching on a line. No permit is required.
