December 24, 2006 Merry Christmas! I'm back from a sunny road trip to California, just in time to celebtrate Christmas with my family. I'd like to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday and all the best for 2007! It's that time of year! Marcel, Jeanine and I arrived back home after over 5000 km's of driving and an unforgettable trip. But, despite the sunny skies, buff trails and crashing waves that made our California adventure so memorable, it sure was nice to walk into a warm house that smelled of pine needles and Christmas baking. We had lots of adventures during our southern voyage, but I don't have time to delve into them today. I just wanted to send out holiday greetings to everyone and post a few photos. So enjoy the pics and have yourselves a Merry Christmas! I hope we're going the right way! Meet Marcel. (L) Jeanine and I check out the 360 view along the Pacific Coast Highway, (R) Jeanine walkin' on air. Happy to be heading south. Point Mugu State Park -- our southern base. The sprawling yellow blob to the right is L.A. Good mornin! Brrrrr! I thought it was always warm in California! Ride with a view of Malibu and the Pacific. Marcel just wanted a light snack. What he got was a burrito THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD! Your superheroes today will be Mace Marcel and Snazzy Sandra! The sun sets on Venice Beach.
