Merry Christmas - 2011

Merry Christmas to everyone. We had a nice day, we even got out for a relaxing walk in the jungle. Our present was this "little" critter this evening in the dining room (shown next to Marge's foot).

The Christmas Xate

While we have lots of pines in the Mountain Pine Ridge, none of them are Christmas tree calibre. So, we decided to decorate one of our local palms, the Xate, along with a black orchid (the Belize national flower) and a dead stick. This is the result...which we like! Our friends Erik and Rhea understand the icicles on a palm picture, but for the rest of us, it's just pretty! And we've kept the horse theme going from our life it the US.
