| Plaza de Mayo almost empty, except for the ever present doves..... |
 |
| Plaza Italia, near my apartment in Palermo, glittering under a hot Christmas Sun |
 |
| I was searching for a 'pleasant and serene place to walk' - but all parks and gardens are closed for Christmas and New Year. |
 |
| Finding a resto-bar open at Christmas Eve involves a bit of hiking....this initially appeared the only opportunity to enjoy a refreshing drink....but even this guy was 'behind bars' as well, he offered his wares from the inside of a park. |
 |
| Ah, at Plaza Serrano (sereno?) in Palermo Viejo I found the last open Resto Bar offering a bit of liquid 'Peace and Dove' . |
 |
| Christmas, a time to spend quality time with your family, intimate friends and lovers - like this couple, obviously totally absorbed maybe not with each other, but at least with their 'texted Christmas Greetings'...Christmas Warmth transmitted to your fingertips.... |
 |
| For the procrastinators....Antonito is still open, offering fruit and 'pollos de campo' to prepare a quick Christmas Dinner... |
 |
| But 'El Pinguino de Palermo' the restaurant at my corner has shut down for the night - everyone is off celebrating with their families and friends. |
 |
| Hey, Merry Christmas to myself....flowers, warm sunshine on the balcony, non fattening Christmas Dinner and a small bottle of Champagne, talking with friends via SKYPE....Life is Good. Feliz Navidad! |
