Merry Christmas!

Christmas is here, and we find ourselves anchored in Playa Tambor, Costa Rica. Things are a bit different aboard Samadhi V compared to a traditional Christmas in the US. I thought I would outline them for those of you "back home".

• Replace "White Christmas" with white sand beaches.
• Replace Christmas carolers with howler monkeys. (There are remarkable similarities!)
• Replace the roast goose with a fresh caught Mahi Mahi to grill.
• Replace the Christmas tree with a palm tree, and the ornaments with coconuts.
  
• Replace the Christmas lights with phosphorescent ocean water that lights up at night and a sky that is absolutely white with stars.
• Replace eggnog with a Piña Colada.
• Replace skiing or sledding with wakeboarding.
• Replace the roaring fire with a blowing fan. (It's 85 degrees!)
  

However, some things are still the same. We are thinking of and missing our family and friends and wishing that all of you could be here with us to experience this magical place and time.

Warmest Holiday Wishes,
Kelly & Phil
