Christmas at 35° C

Just before bed time last night, [our last sleep!] and, true to his word, the man across the street ''Illuminated" his house for us last night.

When we met him three weeks ago he said that he had a target date of December 1 to have his house ready to light up. When he found out we were visiting from Canada and going back to the land where we do have ice and snow he said he would try and have a test light-up before we left.

The photos are the worst that I have ever taken, done in a hurry under very poor conditions. Reindeer, snowmen, all the trappings of a cold climate. Amazing.







His music was not playing though. I would love to hear Bing Crosby singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas". We had to go inside a bit quickly, the mosquitoes were out and that is not fun in shorts!

Back to the real word in a matter of hours.
