Daily Success: December 17 was never going to be a success as the entire day was given over to Christmas – well, Holiday – activities. The Naval Center for Space Technology held its Solstice Party on Friday, the 16th, the Holiday cards were still unfinished, and the preparation for our Christmas Party at home was far from complete. Even walking to the grocery had to be switched to driving because of the weight of what was to be carried home.

Simply put, the Camino had to be put on the proverbial back burner. It would have to stay there at least through the entire day on Saturday.
