Bah, humbug!
I went on a special mission to Jacotown to capture the spirit of Christmas with my camera. I just wanted some photos of decorations and such. I wasn't expecting to see downtown 5th Avenue in Naples, Fl but I didn't see ANY lights for Jaco. In years passed, Jaco Municipal would string lights across the beach strip street from end to end. It was magical. The big businesses would spell their name in the lights. Yes, a bit commercial but Jaco looked like it had the Christmas spirit.
The Municipal decorated their building, but sparsely. They put up the manger scene inside the stairwell as always (minus Baby Jesus right now). I can imagine maybe the 'Muni' is low on funds with all the new sidewalks being put in. There's been many good changes around Jaco lately with roads, lights, etc.
When I really miss all the lights and fanfare of Christmas in Florida - I will go to Los Suenos Resort in Herradura (a neighboring town).
It's a wonderland. (As in - 'I wonder where people get all this money?')

Have you been to the surf competitions? I noticed some are coming up in Hermosa.
Beth, HOW DO YOU find this stuff?!
Pretty awesome decorations there in New Mexico.
Bree - I just love going to the beach and soaking up rays this time of year. It's gorgeous.
Jen - The waves are small now. When is the competition suppose to be?
Right now I'm soaking up the clouds and rain. So it sounds like it's not so bad there after all.
Christmas is in the heart so be cheery and enjoy watching all that eye candy on the beach.
Merry Christmas sweety ... BB
