After church I came back to Lakutaia and ate Christmas Eve supper with Tommy, Angela, Gabriel, and Randy. Although we didn’t have lutefisk, we did have another food from the sea… here was the menu (pretty nice meal actually)
Starters: pisco sour (the unofficial drink of
Cheese and meat empanadas
First course: King Crab
Main course: spinach stuffed lamb, some sort of fried potato balls, and veggies
Dessert: chocolate mouse
*I had to take the traditional picture next to the Christmas tree. There are no coniferous trees on the island, so Randy´s parents sent clippings from trees on their property in Punta Arenas. We tied them togethe to make some sort of hanging tree...I like it.

Today, Christmas day, I rolled out of my sleeping bag and opened my present from Grandma O (thanks grandma!!). It was nice to have one present to open although I forgot to leave a stocking by the fireplace. We had passengers arriving today, so we went to the airport and picked them up. The passengers bought “the program” from us which includes 4 days of excursions (hiking, horseback riding, sailing, and an over-flight of
Otter airplane for an hour and a half ride over
*The Horn!
That was my Christmas. Not exactly a typical one for me, but fun none the less.

That sounds like a pretty good day. I'm glad it's not you kissing in the pictures ;)
Wow! Cape Horn! The pix with the underwing of the airplane with the Horn in the back is pretty terrifying! (Oh, I mean, terrific!) This is a Christmas you will long remember. I was happy to be with Nancy in NJ and that she and you can be in touch. Marion
