Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas from Castro, Chile!!!  We want to wish everyone a safe and fabulous holiday season.  We are having a quiet Christmas from our hostel on stilts in the island town of Castro.  Last night we had a nice evening with fellow travelers and copious amounts of wine.  With everything closed for the holidays we’ve been having a lazy day and catching up on our reading and taking in some rays from our balcony over the water. 

 

We went for a stroll around town which was a bit of a ghost town except for a group of guys getting drunk on the pier (really wanted their picture taken, not sure why but tis the season so we took it anywaysJ) and three stalls selling fish.  One vendor came running up to us and gave me half a sea urchin with a squeeze of lemon juice, it looked a little fishy (pun intended) but it was actually quite soft and I enjoyed it.  Tonight we`ll cook a Christmas meal and most likely end up drinking more local wine with the others in our hostel.  Cheers!
