Buenonoche o Vispera de Navidad 2010


Christmas Eve is here!!! I am told you can either say buenonoche (no "s") which means "the good night" or vispera de Navidad, "the eve of Christmas". Your choice.

Not a busy day for us…but fun all the same. Got up a bit (hee hee hee) later then normal and then we headed out to La Bocana.

Took a new route to show Bexico a shorter way to Santa Cruz, as she may do some yoga there in the ano nuevo. We then stopped in at playa Chahue…a playa at the end of the blvd. We had not been down there before and decided to check it out.

We saw our neighbor Shawn there and said hola. It is a nice beach with some great amenities, so we will use this as our “quick” playa if the alberca gets too crowded. Playa Chahue is only a 5 minute drive from home.

Headed to La Bocana and made the correct choice of leaving the surf board behind. High tide and the waves were breaking right on shore. No good for either board.

So we set up camp and just chill-laxed.

Bexico went into the oceano and made a friend. The young nina was VERY afraid of the water and the waves, but Bexico did her best to keep her calm. Here are some photos.

Nueva amiga.


Discussing the big olas (waves).


Walking out to the grande olas.


Here it comes.


Aftermath of the the grande olas!!


After taking a break from nina sitting, Bexico was asked to re-join the fun. This time she brought the boogie board to see if she could teach the nina.

Strapping up.


Motherly encouragement


Big wave coming. Looks like a change of plan.


Change of plan is confirmed!!


Here is a photo of another young nina who had spent the day on the playa, just amusing herself with whatever was available.


We headed home with a quick stop at Che. Even though they are abierto manana, the place was busy!!

Quick rinse off at the alberca and got out of there pronto. The most people we have ever seen there. Only for a week or two…and we have our own playa to go to meantime!!!

La cena is pechuga de pollo con arroz…ready in diez minutos.  Esta noche? Christmas Eve? We are going to put on our nice t-shirts, some bug spray, and then head out at 930pm to hook up with our Gabriel the Owl amigos. They often eat at that time of night, but we will probably have an appy and some refrescos.

They are all from Acapulco and most of them have kids and are divorced…so no family locally. We thought it would be nice to hang with them for a while tonight.

Misc photo. I found this on a Yahoo chat group site for El Mojon. It looks like the south headland (by the orange casa) but not sure when it was taken. It might have been taken prior to any development.


Manana? Navidad!! Open our presents at Mojon…spend some time in the sol and hopefully some grande olas por surfing!! Then la cena at Senor Pucks…pavo, papas puree, stuffing and gravy of course!!

Have a great Christmas Eve, and enjoy all the festivities manana!!

Bubba y Bexico
