Xmas Hotel

We are now in jersey, having left behind the patrician hills of new England, where we celebrated a lively and lovely five days or so of Christmas.

Jersey seems more jersey than ever, amazingly. I feel sort of like I am in a movie, something like the anti-city slickers, in which a now semi-hayseed returns to the north. He finds that words no longer have endings, that hair is so large, that wearing sweatsuits in public is totally acceptable.

And then, our hotel, which my parents were kind enough to get for us...We had an amazing night last night, celebrating Christmas with the whole family, exchanging gifts, and drinking wine.

Here's the view from the back:
