25 December 2011 – Sucre, Bolivia – James Brown, A Funky Christmas
I had been having a nice time chilling out by myself in Sucre. The months on the road have turned up some simple truths about my happiness. A quiet place to sleep, eggs on toast for breakfast with fresh fruit juices, coffee, and a few cold beers in the afternoon. Nothing too demanding really.
But this time of year was no time to be alone. It was Christmas and unfortunately knew no one in Sucre except a freaky German staying in my hotel, he had a delightfully bright skin disease and a fetish for smoking in the lobby. Not a person I took a liking too, and not one to spend Christmas with. And so 2 days before the big event it was looking like it was going to be a lonely one. That was until santa and a group of strangers wandered into the restaurant where I was lunching and sat at my table. They introduced themselves and told me to join them at their hostel for a lovely Christmas party, including presents, boozing and a Christmas lunch. Yay!
 John, our local Canadian turned out to be a chef. Here he is basting the turkey with his special sauce!! Yay! What a star. |  Santa had a great trope of elves, here they are making desert |
 And so we wait in the afternoon sun for Santa to arrive with our presents |  And what a bundle of love he brought |
 Micheal Jackson Monopoly, nothing but the original! |  After the presents the food came out and we feasted |
 And partied |  And partied some more. |
It was a very fun time for everyone at the Gringos Rincon Hostel. It was just like a family Christmas!
Hohohoho!
