Some folks host a potluck Christmas Eve party at their place in Settlement. Arthurs cooks up a mean batch of latkes and I cook up some applesauce accompaniment to bring with the jelly; wish that we could find some sour cream. [Fresh dairy is a bit of hard find the island; milk is the ultra-pasteurized long-life variety, just as in Kenya; luckily the main supermarket has a healthy variety of cheese, though one has to be most vigilant of expiration dates, and fresh yogurt making kits are available]. Have a fun time drinking champagne and eating delicious foods. Arthur and I take the 60 second walk to the rocky coast and listen to the ocean while gazing at the moon through the fronds of a coconut palm. Is it really Christmas time?
