Well we left early this morning and drove to Costa Esmeralda on the Atlantic Coast of Argentina, where we plan to spend Christmas on the beach.

Cecilia’s son and his fiancée have rented a lovely house here for the month of December, and invited us to stay over Christmas, so we are here until Sunday.

There’s a pool in the back yard, so we made use of it this afternoon as soon as we arrived, as you’ll see from Venetia’s video of Cecilia and me. And I can attest to the fact that she really did join us after she took the video!

We went down to the beach just before sunset to check it out. It’s a beautiful beach, with very little commercialism. There is a restaurant, which is apparently very good for lunch, but not much else. I love that, as it just leaves sun, sand and sea to be enjoyed!

I wandered ahead of the others, and Venetia shot this video of me walking on the beach at sunset.

I think we’re going to like it here!
