MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas everybody!!!!! We spent Christmas in La Paz.

Some of the festivities included setting off fire works . . . .

Informing my parents it was Christmas at 6 am   . . . . . . .

And of course decorating the tree

From my cat I got a little electric dog that runs around and yips . In my stocking I got tiny sparklers. And I got several new books.

We had to do our Christmas shopping in the markets. The market was outdoor on the streets. It’s made up of stalls made from tarps and inside, people sell anything from pencils, to dogs, to a dolls tea set. We got a lot of good stuff there. In a Mexican market at Christmas the scene was a little less than chaotic. Of course it was organized chaos. Anyways I think it was a pretty good Christmas.

New Friends

I've met two new friends. Trinidad and Samantha are two little girls, 5 & 7.  I put on the play Pippy Longstocking with them. ( I was Pippy of course). We had a lot of fun. We're having a sleepover tonight as well. They live in Arizona when they are not on their boat called Endurance. When the market on Sundays happens we go together. Trinadad has blond hair and green eyes and is 5, Samantha has brown hair and brown eyes and is 7 they're sisters. They're both really nice. And funny!

The way cruising kids make friends is if you see a kid at a potluck or something you just go up and say “hi what's your name?”
