DECEMBER HAPPENINGS

Sugar is relaxed and ready for Christmas!

My friend Moni (the girl in the center) is moving to the Middle East after Christmas so we had a little going away party for her!


Dinner in the street at LaPauSat with Alan and his kids Alex and Sophie who were visiting from Oregon for Christmas


Sugarcane juice is pretty good! He feeds the long stalks of sugarcane into a juicer and pours it over ice. Our favorite is still the fresh lime juice; Wes drinks it by the gallon!
December was a very busy month, winding down the rugby and baseball games and gearing up for final exams. Shelby and I attended an Indian wedding reception for his coworker Govind and wife Lakshmi who married in September in India. The reception was held in Singapore on Dec 20th and was a lot of fun-very colorful and interesting to observe the couple among their family and friends. We enjoyed a pre-Christmas dinner with friends, celebrated our family Christmas on the 21st, and are now headed to South Africa tonight to spend Christmas with the animals! Looking forward to a few days at a game reserve followed by a week in Cape Town. Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanzaa to you and yours!
