Placencia XMAS DAY 06

Its another sunny hot day here. (read - blistering) i have to keep some sunscreen on my pink nose and stay in the shade of the porch. yesterday we went snorkling and i got a 'little burn' on the back of my legs. my back was saved because of a tee shirt worn constently. 'Post card perfect' setting of a tiny little island about 15 miles offshore. a park ranger lives in a small shack for two week intervals guarding the spit of sand and trees. (again stay in the shade!) we saw lots of sealife. even ran into a pod of dolphins on the way back to shore.

For dinner we went just down the beach toward the setting sun to the little thatched hut on the water (shown in sunset shots) for Lobster platters. 2 1/2 lobster tails for $20us. fantastic. today i'll celebrate Christmas in the slow quiet island way. sit in my hammock and hold my book while i nap.

have a great Christmas and a happy new year!
