Christmas Day, 2012

Our last day in West Palm Beach, and it was another beautiful day.  A front is coming through, so I suspect the weather is going to change over the next day or so, but that's okay....no snow in the forecast!

We started the day with a gift from Teresa and Darren....delivered to the boat by the marina staff.  Chocolate dipped cherries and strawberries!  Yummy.....

After eating several cherries, I decided I needed to walk them off and took the pups on a long walk down to the bridge just south of us.  I had not walked there all week, and found it to be a lovely walk along the waterfront.  Coming back I paused to take a picture:


West Palm Beach is really lovely from this viewpoint.  You can see the marina where we are staying on the far right side, with a little of the Flagler Bridge as well.

We had Christmas dinner at a nice little Mediterranean restaurant in Palm Beach, Cucina Dell'Arte, with Joan and Lew Gedansky.  We had a wonderful dinner, sitting outside; then drove over the The Breakers.  Sometime in the future, we will have to go enjoy a stay there:

We enjoyed a video Skype call with Judy & Tommy, and Teresa, with Darren, Lynn & Marty, and Lillian Knox.  It seems like electronic get-togethers are no longer Science Fiction.  It was fantastic to be able to "see" family and friends who were hundreds of miles away.

We continue to pinch ourselves daily to see if this trip is real.  It has been a dream come true for us.  The time we have spent together on this trip is our Christmas gift to each other and we are both so grateful that we have had the chance to do it.
