The winter definitely makes me appreciate summer that much more.
And it definitely FEELS more like Christmas.

I was thinking today about the Spanish version of “White Christmas”…
Ahhhh Blanca Navidad, sueño

What Spanish speaking person really knows about white Christmases?
Spain? I doubt it…
Latin America, or Mexico? No way…
The only ones might be Argentinians…and only those living in the South!

What a beautiful picture Cheryl. You’re absolutely right. Even as I was clearing snow off the car yesterday and spinning tires going up the hill on my street, I thought, what a great country Canada is. I love the changing of the seasons, even the longing for the next one. It is a brilliant part of life here. There were huge flakes falling last night on a blanket of about 10 cm of fresh snow. The Christmas lights reflecting on all of this as darkness fell was a breath taking sight. I empathise with you that, even though a change is nice, there really is no place like home, especially if it is in Canada. I will however, continue to enjoy your pictures of mountains and lush greenery as I strain to scrape the stubborn ice off my windshield in sub zero temperatures. But, I will have a warm glow somewhere inside that whispers, “Only in Canada, eh!”

You are going to love it! Be sure to pack everything in plastic bags for the Inca trail hike, as well as good rain gear. You’re there in the rainy season. Oh and take advantage of hot showers on the third night. Well worth the S/ 3.

It seems like deadlines and plans change all the time there! That must require a lot of flexibility; I think I would find it frustrating.

Thursday definitely sounds like it was a chaotic day. I bet you slept well that night! :-)

And crazy fireworks! I don’t always appreciate waking up early to Jacob’s noises, but they don’t really compare to fireworks. Usually.

Miss you, Cheryl! Hope you have an equally productive/restful weekend!

P.S. Did you find a new power cord for your MacBook yet? Chad has had to order several new ones, as well. Big nuisance.
