So, we got back to La Cruz in December and raced on our friend’s sailboat called ‘Brainwaves’. We took two third place, a fourth place, and a first place. We both departed La Cruz and headed for the states over the Christmas holiday where it was cold. Had a great holiday season, put a puzzle together, celebrated my mother’s birthday ( with our traditional fried rice and scrabble), got my hair cut, and did a little shopping for an orphanage girl back in Mexico. Russ bought me a kayak and just recently I went to some botanical gardens with some new friends. Here are the photos, I hope you enjoy them!
