December 24th in Conil

It's just a little bit Christmassy here in Conil. There are lots of street decorations and lights, but I don't see anything like the shopping frenzy that pervades Munich at this time of year. But then again, I don't go shopping here. Except at the supermarket, Mercadona. Mercadona reminds you that it is Christmas by playing all the popular Christmas hits from the past 20 - 30, 40, 50? - years. After shopping I came home with an ear worm - Frosty the Snowman, and that in sunny Spain!

Our day consisted of a lovely sun rise, some indoor photography, a walk through Conil for some last minute shopping and Christmas Eve dinner with our friends from Kassel, who are spending the holidays here, too.

Dawn as we see it from our living room window

I don't know what we are going to do with all these lemons - but good for a little still life.

My morning tea - but I don't even drink tea with lemon, just added it for the color.

We took a liesurely walk through town.

Saw Santa Claus looking for a chimney

With Janos of course

Yikes! The only people we've seen going for a swim, not counting the surfers in wet suits.

We made a traditional German Weihnachtsteller - Christmas plate - to take to our hosts for the Christmas Eve celebration..

Christmas in Conil with Bruni, Heinz, Janos and Margaret - and where is Roland?

Roland is a cook, and our personal cook. The meal was terrific.
