Our Christmas Day ended with a joyous Christmas party at the home friends who live in the Puntas section of Rincon. Of course, all of the "usual suspects" were there...one of the great things about these events is the chance to catch up with friends, both year-round residents and snowbirds who return for the winter season. Rincon is a very friendly place and if you are here for even a day or two, you will find new friends.
We enjoyed a traditional "American" Christmas menu (yes, it is possible to find traditional US fixin's here in Puerto Rico!) - turkey with dressing, sweet potatoes with peaches, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, an incredible organic salad and so forth... along with many desserts, and a good bit of wine. Almost everyone, year-round residents and snow birds, has well equipped kitchens so most of the desserts and appetizers were brought by guests. A great chance to taste special treats.
On our way home, we passed other homes alive with families and friends all celebrating the day. The smells of turkey and lechon were in the air and parrandas were busily playing the well-known Christmas aguinaldos of Puerto Rico and the traditional Christmas carols. Little Rincon was alive with activity and joy celebrating this Christmas Day.
