Greetings from salt-encrusted, wind-burnt Venus, from beautiful downtown Bucerias, a fishing town just north of Puerto Vallarta! After the boat ride we took this a.m. out to the Marieta Islands, I even have salt in my ears!

Peak experience … Christmas Eve … barrelling down the "highway" (a paved road with double yellow lines that NO ONE pays attention to even on curves and hills) in the back of a glorified pick-up truck with other "adventurers", slugging back the local tequila and singing Christmas Carols at the top of our lungs. You haven't heard "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" until you have heard it at 60 miles an hour in the tropics …

Life is good … I hope everyone's holiday has been as jolly as mine!
