We're ready for the Christmas festivities. We've decorated our rigs and purchased a "natural" turkey (not smoked) and fruit cake at Sam's Club for our Christmas dinner next week.

Our managers got into the holiday spirit with these decorations in the public washrooms at our campground.
Friday, December 13th we headed out for dinner and dancing to celebrate Carol and Mike's birthdays (both of their birthdays are actually on Dec 13th!).
The taxi cost us $3.25 per couple each way from Lo de Marcos to Mr Ribs in Rincon de Guayabitos (about 15 km). Mr Ribs specializes in pork ribs smoked over mesquite wood. Delicious! Serving choices of natural, garlic or barbequed ribs. 2 free shots of Tequila were provided for by the owner for our celebration!

Cakes are relatively expensive here. The chocolate birthday cake cost $480 pesos ($39 CAD). Last year we paid $420 pesos ($34 CAD) for a coconut cake for Vic's birthday, But they are delicious!!

Tuesday, December 17th we had the
Santa Claus parade down the main street of Lo de Marcos. The participants and audience were sweating in the 34C heat at 4 pm! Afterwards the children lined up in the town square to receive gifts from Santa.
