Sahayak has some fun with Faro's Christmas decorations. 

Left: Zorba and Brahma are the best of mates, and mates with us now too...we've grown quite fond of them while we've been staying with their owners, Sergio and Andrea. Maia catches them in the usual place beside the fire. Above: Sahayak with a different take on Brahma.
Top right: Maia is inspired to get a close up of Sergio and Andrea's huge reclining Buddha.
Right: We asked Andrea to pose with a gingerbread man she made so we would have a reminder of all her wonderful cooking...not only great meals, but yummy desserts (made with non-wheat flours). Her chocolate brownies are to die for! We are being very spoilt!
