Merry Christmas from Hope Town

Hi All,
We're back in the Bahamas after a trip to Texas and Connecticut to see friends and family. It was a great trip and really enjoyed seeing everyone. Besides the visiting I played a round of golf, we got to play with all the grandkids, saw my grandson Alec's final school Candlelight Concert (what an absolutely outstanding event) and saw the Rockettes Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

It's Christmas Day in Hope Town and there is blue sky, lots of sunshine and the high for today is forecast to be 80, with a low of 76 tonight. In other words, it's wonderful. It is a bit strange to see people in swimsuits.  At least a bunch of them have on Santa hats.  That helps.

Here are a few pictures we took last night and this morning so you can get a feel for Christmas in The Bahamas. The ones taken at night might be a bit blurry.  No alcohol was involved, though.  NOT!!

The view from the picnic table at Hope Town Inn and Marina. This is where we watched the song writer concert before Christmas.

While in Connecticut I decided to shave. Sort of.  In stages. Not a great picture but this is how I looked for a couple of hours. Then we heard we'd been invited to the house of some friends of Shaun and Jen's.  I decided to go ahead and shave off the rest. So much for looking like a pirate.

Take care.
