LA PAZ CHRISTMAS - con't |
December 23, 2003 Todos Santos We decided to take a road trip to Todos Santos, which is about a 2 hour drive south down the Pacific side of the Baja coast. Chris from Twix came with us. Pictured here is Chris and Chris when we stopped in the town for lunch. |
 | Hotel California We had to check out the famous
"Hotel California" |
|
 | Surfing Beach After a few wrong turns, we finally found the surfing beach, Pescadero. The site was spectacular with an endless sandy beach reaching out to meet the clear blue Pacific waters. There were campers, RVs and tents on the beach but not much in the way of facilities. |

Although Chris from Twix had brought along his surf
board, stuffed in the back seat of the rental car, the waves looked
quite ominous so the boys opted for boogie boards instead. | ||
December 24, 2003 It's Christmas Eve. Many of us have decorated our boats with Christmas lights so the docks look very festive and everyone is in the Christmas spirit, despite the 80 degree temps. Downtown La Paz is decorated too, an impressive nativity scene and, of course, Christmas lights on the palm trees. |  |
 | December 25 Can you believe we had Christmas breakfast in the cockpit of Ascension wearing shorts! See our little Christmas tree that we managed to acquire, leftover from the table decorations at the Christmas Party. We opened presents and had a quiet day relaxing. |

Christmas Potluck Dinner The cruisers at our dock all got together for a Potluck Christmas dinner with turkey, complete with all the trimmings. Most of the 35 sailors were Canadians whom we have been traveling with for the past 4 months. . |  | |

It was a great meal with Gary and Dale. (Reaction) |  | ||
The supper was delicious with lots to eat and a good variety. | Ken & Sharon (In the Mood), Joyce (Matarua) | |||

December 26 With much sadness, we drove Chris to the airport and said farewell. I was happy we had time together and look forward to our next visit. It's always so hard to say goodbye. I hope his holiday gives him new energy to face the school year ahead. | ||||
