Merry Christmas to All from Marathon!

Merry Christmas to all from Marathon! We're missing everyone, especially at the holiday season, but we're enjoying our trip of a lifetime.

We enjoyed our visit with Doreen. She looks great and it was so good to see her. See photo above with Chucfk and Doreen in dinghy.

We went to the ocean side and walked on the beach and in the community park. We went out to dinner at Castaways last night. It was the best meal we've had in Marathon. I had their Best of the Island award winner of snapper with artichokes, peppers and tomatoes in a light basil cream sauce with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. Chuck had scallops and Doreen had baby back ribs. !Delicious

Patti and I walked all around town today and did some shopping. I did a load of laundry.

Patti cooked lasagna tonight with salad and cuban bread. I took some berries and Angel food cake over. Yum. Chuck wore his Mickey Santa hat and we watched our traditional National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. We put Christmas T-shirts on the dogs. Jazzy's says "Rudolph's Got Nothin' On Me" and Sailor's says, "Naughty." Cute.

Tomorrow is a dinner for the cruiser's at 1 p.m.. I'm making 3 dz. deviled eggs to take. We're going to try to catch a cab for 11 a.m. mass at San Padro's Catholic Church.

Merry Christmas to all!
