Merry Christmas!

A Merry Christmas to All

In order to grab the Christmas season by the proverbial horns, Pete and I had the bone head idea to bring Christmas to Cuenca, Ecuador early this year.

We suited up for the big day, armed ourselves with lollipops and headed out to make new friends the only way we know how, public humiliation. Some were delighted, others cried, some ran back into their houses and others stopped to take pictures and ask us questions.

All in all I would say it was a success. I have never seen so many strangers smile and give hugs to a Santa wearing Capri pants and flip flops.
