We spent the winter solstice in the Marina La Cruz, and marked that celestial transition by saying goodbye to Tyler and hello to Laura and Jim. While we haven't noticed much of a change in the length of the days down here, we want to remind all our friends who are farther north of the equator that the days are now getting longer! Cheers to that.
Sunset in Punta de Mita, dedicated to Grandpa WentThe last few days have been somewhat uneventful for us, but not for our buddy Grandpa Went Lambert, who celebrated his 95th birthday on the 20th. In honor of his greatness, we have posted a few photos that show our appreciation of him. Happy Birthday, Went!
Here he is, in all his Glory!Like I said, there is not much that is new to report today (except, Wow! I think I've made some Blog layout breakthroughs!). Stay tuned for a Christmas check-in, which will, hopefully, contain news of me finally overcoming my jitters about surfing, among other breakthroughs.
Lots of love to you all,
Jess and Ryan
P.S. Tyler and Harry should both know that Captain Ryan has called upon both of you, in his sleep, to uphold your duties as First Mate. I only hope he can learn to navigate the ship without you...
Somewhere between kid and adult, we figure out that it's not the gifts under the tree that count... it's the simple gifts of love and charity that we keep in our hearts. That's when we discover the real magic of Christmas. Encourgement at just the right moment... Acceptance, even when we're a little off track... The comfort that comes in feeling loved...
