Merry Christmas


Today while I was blowing yet another 6 inches of fresh snow off the driveway, I was wondering what they were doing in Belize for Christmas. We have never been there at Christmas, we came the closest this year ever. They had started to put up a few decorations. Wow, did they look out-of-place. Here is Frosty the Snowman tobogganing down a thatched roof. Keep in mind that the temperature out in the sun like that is 85 degrees.........


.......this misguided lady is decorating the beach. In the foreground is a palm tree with lights on the trunk. Strange.....


........the one normal thing we found was a new event for San Pedro........ a parade. They had it last year for the first time and had fun with it. It's a boat parade!! They decorate up their boats and parade along the whole town, about a mile. Here is Santa and his helpers. They look like they are having fun.........

.....after wrestling with my camera for a few minutes (it is an IDIOT, you have got to believe me), I got a few good pictures. This may have been the winner??.............

...........although this one was nice, too...........


........pretty elaborate.



Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Uncle Hans and Aunt Wendy!!
