Christmas with the Cohans

For the first time in a long time I was without Haley for xmas.  It was also the first time that I can remember surfing at sunrise on xmas morning and again in the afternoon.  Lucky for me our good family friends the Cohans invited me to their beautiful beach rental in Esterillos Este. The house was amazing and it was great to see the whole family minus Ophe having fun in the pool and pacific. One neat thing about the beach was that the sun rose and set over the ocean, which I had never seen.  I also had lots of fun surfing with Donovan.

ho ho ho

Today, I made way too much gallo pinto, hung up the hammock very high above the ground to maximize the view (currently enjoying), did some laundry and now I am writing the blog. A very productive day by my standards. Nap time?

No nap it turned out.. but i did get to go for a very nice sunset run.
