Merry Christmas!!


Holiday greetings from Holland!! I arrived here yesterday from Buenos Aires after 36 hours of travel and have been relaxing at my mom's place.. enjoying home cooked meals and SLEEPING a lot!! haha. Life in Buenos Aires has taken it's toll on me I think.

Today we went for a long walk in the forest here near my mom's place. The woods were quiet and the smell of winter is in the air. It was just cold enough that I kept my fingers balled up in my gloves instead of in their finger holes. Tomorrow I am going to visit some friends in Leiden and then hopefully if my doctor can squeeze me in I'll return to NY on Thursday to get clearance to return to work. Everyone who knows me must realize not working for this long has been hard on this "work horse" although I have to say I'm getting pretty used to the easy life, ha ha. Doing nothing is not as hard as I thought it would be! It gets dark here at around 4pm which is hard to get used to. In Buenos Aires it is still light out at 8pm and in El Calafate the sun sets at 11pm.

My mom gave me lots of art supplies (charcoal, paper, pencils, oil bars....) for Christmas and I think I will take her hint and resume drawing like I used to love so much when I was younger.

Ok, besos to everyone and happy happy holidays!
