When we first arrived in San Carlos we decided that we would attend a Christmas service at a Mexican church. We even went so far as to get the directions to a large Catholic church in Guaymas. This probably would have been quite interesting as Luis told us that the actual Mexican Christmas service was very vocal and long. In fact, he told us we would get very tired of all the talking and as he called it "gabbing". Even so, we were prepared to attend until we found out that Christmas services in this part of Mexico took place at midnight on Christmas Eve. One of the basic rules we have for Mexico is to not drive at night, so this idea was abandoned.
Instead, we walked across the street and watched the San Carlos community present their boat parade. Thirteen yachts, decorated with lights, sailed from the marina to Pilar Condos, well past Totonaka. Mexicans and tourists lined the streets cheering and lighting fireworks. It was a unique and interesting night.

No boat parades in Yorkton. Doug and the kids are outside viewing the moon and Mars, hoping to see Santa and his reindeer. Merry Christmas from the "Great White North"!!!
Feliz Navidad. Have a safe and happy holiday. Fred and Maggie did the moon/mars thing also. They have a noon golfing special today so we are going to hit the links - will be thinking of you, esoecially on "your" hole.

...hopefully you won't have to wear the Golf Helmets that were necessary when Snowflake was shooting.
Merry Christmas.

Hey, did you find a 7 iron when you were at the golf course?
Boy, it sounds like it might have beaten Eatonia's annual parade. Must of been a sight!
