Christmas in San Felipe, Baja California del Norte, MX

Clara's twin sister has a ton of friends in the San Felipe area and we saw nearly all of them in our few days in Baja -- some at a Christmas Eve dinner, some more at a Christmas morning brunch, still more at Christmas dinner at Ruthe's house, yet again (but more of the same) at a taco stand in San Felipe the day after Christmas, and, yes, yet again at a quaint little market that doubled as a restaurant (actually "tripled" since it was also the proprietor's residence) with excellent chiles rellenos. Do you get the idea that we focused quite heavily on eating?

Our time at San Felipe began quietly with a view of moon rise over the Sea of Cortez (picture #1). That's Mars as an evening star that you see in the picture.





Then Clara got out her birthday present to her twin -- a framed photo of the two of them as babies surrounded by seventy gold dollar coins (John Adams) in an antiquish frame. (picture #2)

Picture #3 shows the twins in front of the Christmas tree showing their Christmas colors and looking more like twins than I have ever seen, while #4 shows them looking at Clara's home-made Christmas present to Ruthe.
