Well, I’ve been a little delayed in posting a holiday greeting, but I wanted to send my love to family and friends regardless of the day.  We had a very peaceful Christmas, spending a few days down in Playa Coco, one of our favorite beaches in the area.  On Christmas day, we were joined by various friends for Christmas tacos, courtesy of our friends Christian and Claire.  That night, we witnessed a beautiful sunset and fell asleep to the sound of the Pacific crashing waves onshore.

The holidays made us feel grateful for so many people, including those friends we’ve made here who have becomes our surrogate family, as well as for our family and friends back home.  We feel blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderfully caring people.
