| With Santa on Christmas Eve |

| Nic with Xmas lights in Mendoza |
The main event here is on Christmas Eve, and we booked ourselves into the event at our hotel, so we spent the evening eating parilla (barbequed steak) and drinking the local wines with tourists and Mendocians. We were some of the last people there as ever, and at midnight, we got a visit from Santa with a little gift each of a little bottle of champagne.

Today is a leisurely day, and we are taking advantage of the sun by drinking the local bubbly on the hotel terrace. Not exactly a traditional Christmas, but that is what our travelling is about - seeing new things and living in different ways. We have been away for just over six months now and we are loving our new life; the only downside is that we don't get to see our family and friends.
So we would like to wish those of you reading our blog a very Merry Christmas and hope that 2012 brings you what you most want. And don't forget to send us a message or comment occasionally so that we know you're there.
Dear Tabitha and Nic,having read your email (thanks and good to hear from you) I'm amazed at how intrepid you are - talk about near-misses! It's good to hear how much you are enjoying your 'voyage' despite the odd scare (or in my case heart-attack). What an experience!

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm not sure how intrepid it is to have things just happen to you accidentally, but it does add to the experience and gives us a more interesting story for the blog! The important thing is that thankfully so far no-one has been hurt. White water rafting felt more intrepid for me as the very idea scared the hell out of me!
