Almost Christmas Eve

Here we sit waiting for the pig's knuckle at Le 48. Richard is talking about the Wallace line. His beard is glinting a bit; you can see silver along his jaw line. I like the beard so far - he's not so sure.

Things are heating up around here in anticipation of Christmas. The restaurants have set menus.

There is no news. I've almost finished reading "The Boys in the Boat" - very entertaining. 

Into the pool again to cool off.

Views around here from our deck out to the ocean and back to the villa.
