The Eagle Has Landed


December 24

After 30 mislaid hours and some big tears, the Sawatzky family arrived in Portugal!!!! The large amounts of snow in central Europe, and the airline's inability to deal with a little bad weather, robbed us of a day and a half!!!!! They got to the aparment at 2 am and we stayed up until 5 am talking and catching up before they passed out from exhaustion. The next morning Don and Mike promptly got on the rented bikes and took off. They experienced some pounding rain but still had a great time. Jen and I walked out to the beach and got ready for our Christmas Eve dinner. We had rabbit, potatoes, beans, salad and bread. Everyone said the rabbit tasted like chicken? Oh well. We then opening presents, played some games and talked until late. Awesome Christmas!!
