This is definitely not your average Christmas. Megan and I both missed being with our families for Christmas, but last night was a good example of how big of an adventure this trip is. About ten of our friends from camping, nearby hostels and so on met up at the beach for a pot luck dinner. An Italian couple brought shrimp and pasta, Megan and I made chicken enchiladas and dessert, and three guys from Washington cooked Red Snapper. It was delicious (and not very healthy)! In addition to these guys, there was a Canadian nurse who's thinking about moving to San Diego so that she can keep on surfing often, a girl from California applying to law school, an Austrian and two Germans. We're an odd bunch, but we had a very nice time. Megan and I had a chance to talk to our families on the phone for a little while, but I can't help like feeling a little bit like the prodigal son for being away for Christmas.
No joke, Megan is researching whether or not she can adopt Lola, "our" little dog that follows us around because we like to play with her. That sounds like more of a Christmas present than either of us bargained for, but I'm not going to play Grinch and say no... yet.
It would be silly to spend too much of Christmas Day in an internet cafe, so I'll have to sign off and say goodbye for now, but to friends and family - Merry Christmas and sorry we're not sharing it with you in the States.
