Merry Christmas
I have been slow on writing and I am struggling to find the words to say merry Christmas. I hope the pictures will show the Christmas wishes I am having and will pass them onto you. Christmas is big and the city has been decorated for over a month. Dec 1 was opening night of the Christmas tree on capital square. It is celebrated with fireworks (not just a few, every half hour all evening and finishing with a blast), lots of lights and people; people all over. Every night the square is open to events like singing, concerts, a dramatized life sized puppet show, food, crafts, and people. Big christmas trees are done up (sorry about the sideways one :) I had a nice time at the party put on by the landlord. They invited us in like family. Yes Rick sang karaoke after a few Red horses! In true fillipino style the party invite said starts at 6:00. Rick and I were the only ones there for quite sometime, and by 8:00 the others arrived! There were a few jokes about our arrival time. The party was a great time to get to know my neighbors better and to get into the christmas spirit.
During the past week I have had some great holiday time. I took Rick to 2 of my favorite places here on Palawan. Cocoloco Beach (great sand for making sand cowboy hats! and swimming lots) and then in Sabang (I pushed one wrong button on the computer; now the great pictures of Sabang are floating in the world of lost computer stuff - like the picture of Ox on the beach, hike in the forest, Hanging on a vine like a less than graceful Jane, boat trip in the underwater river, Inukshuks made on the rock beach....)
Well, still have lots of pictures to entertain you all with when I come home. Like leg in the air (salt water is great for syncro), Rick and I posing on the beach, Pretending to be Bo Derek!...)
So have a very merry Christmas!! thinking of you at home :) Love from Angela in the Philippines
