Merry Christmas everyone!
All the way from Suriname in South America, where it’s kinda weird to celebrate Christmas in 25-30 degrees Celcius.
This is a quick post to update you on why I have not posted more articles about Christmas around the world. The last minute decision to travel, all the preparations for a 12-hour trip and challenges to get on the Internet once there, did not help much.
I almost forgot what it was like to use dial-up to get online! You don’t realize how spoiled you are until you have to dial up again
Anyway, it’s nice to be back home again, where I’m feasting on fresh fruit, and simple homecooked meals. So far I’ve had 4 different types of mangoes, all very sweet as they naturally ripen on the trees.
For Christmas we’ll have pineapple-ham with mashed potatoes, salad and green beans. Yesterday I baked a plum-rum-raisin cake for dessert. Sounds pretty much like a holiday dinner anywhere in the world, but for us it’s a true and special treat. I’ll post some pictures when I return from the trip.
Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
