A Gorgeous Sunset Photo


Nadia really loved to take photos, and she caught this beautiful shot while we were driving back over the bridge from Biscayne Bay driving towards Coral Gables.    

Edgardo, Martha, Nadia & Andrea visit from Buenos Aires, Argentina




Luis' best friend from childhood, Edgardo, came for a visit with his family.  They stopped here in Florida for two days on their way to spend the holidays with Martha's family in Monterrey, Mexico.   We crammed a lot of sight seeing, shopping, eating, and visiting into two short days.  It was a great visit, and a highlight of our holiday season so far this year.   It was very special being able to spend quality time with good friends.

a Couple more Photos of the Boat Parade


Winterfest Boat Parade in Fort Lauderdale



Saturday night, we went to the Winterfest Boat Parade.  There were about 100 boats and yachts that there decorated with Christmas lights and the parade started downtown, down the river, and then down the Intracoastal Canal.  There were thousands of people watching, and the parade was really pretty.  The photos are a little blurry, but you can get an idea of what it looked like.

The Head Family




Here are a few photos of the Head family taken in Houston during the Thanksgiving weekend.  I love these photos.  They make me smile.

New Orleans Lakefront Airport


The New Orleans Lakefront Airport is primarily used for general aviation planes, and is a beautiful place to land.  However, three years after Hurricane Katrina, it is a very sad place that is still in serious need of repair.  

New Orleans Jackson Square


This is the famous New Orleans Jackson Square in the French Quarter.  On our return trip from flying to Houston for Thanksgiving, we stopped in New Orleans for fuel for the plane and lunch. This part of New Orleans received minimal damage from Hurricane Katrina, and thus it looked pretty much like normal -- which was really beautiful on this gorgeous day.  The rest of the city, however, is still in really bad shape. 

Seaside, Florida from the air


a beautiful view of Seaside, Florida from about 1,500 feet.  This was the magical real-life town where they filmed the movie The Truman Story.
