Hola!! Virtually the same old, same old…won’t bore you with the details. But rest assured…I am not bored living them!!

Here are the photos for the day.

Nuevo ropa por dish washing.


We saw this on the outside of a school and did not know what it meant.


It is the government certification for this escolar privado. If they don’t have the certification, you can still go and learn, but the Mexicans would not recognize the work and grades.

Calle Carrizal. It is a very busy one way street with taxis racing down it.


Lots of turismo buses in town. You rent one and fill it with friends and family and it will tour the country during the holidays.

The smart salespeople on carts know where to set up shop as the buses seem to stop by them, unload the passengers and everyone eats up.

Here we see two carts, one hidden, selling their goods. The first cart is selling fresh fruit stored on hielo.


This is the second cart…helados…ice creams.



Just past this cart, I saw mi amigo Daniel and his HUGE smile!!! He was excited for his photos, asking me how much he owed. I told him they were again gratis, but no more…until ano proximo…next year!!

Here is another street corner showing more of the turismo buses.


More of the carts.



And this smart senora set up her hot food and cart in a parking lot across from the buses. She was busy!!


What the front of one of the buses looks like.


The picture is of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Telmex installer doing his thing. This is a picture of Bruno, the guy who did our work.


Up “garage alley”, there was a Marine bus getting some work done, They had two Marines keeping an eye on things. Here is one of them.


Just another hard working hombre.


Just a sign pointing to 2 of 35 bahias…bays.


Nicely groomed intersection and two of the cacti.




This padre and his nina both said Hola and waved…but I was too late in taking the photo. At least I got the nina waving.


Mi gimnasio.


And all the tables and chairs set up for esta noche’s strata/home owners association meeting.


At mi gimnaso, I had a great chat with Rosa…nothing new there... and then stopped in to see the boys. After that, it was alberca time con mi novia and then we did a quick walk around town.

We are getting my surf shorts taken in an inch…around the waist!! We then grabbed some fresh pan for la cena and some veggies.

At 530pm there was supposed to be the big condo meeting, but it started at 6’ish. Rick & Heidi were there and I showed support by joining them. I really only wanted to bring up the smoking issue, but 3 hours later, the meeting adjourned with very little accomplished and no time for questions.

My suggestion for ano proximo? Send out the notes ahead of time, and don’t let the loud mouth owner talk so much and ensure his drunk wife stays home. Just my observations.

I did enjoy sitting next to and talking with the senora that runs Sueno Real, the condos on Punta Santa Cruz. Bexico and I have stayed there several times and always enjoyed it. The senora lives at Condos Pacifico and recognized both Bexico and myself the first time we saw her here.

Misc from the meeting…a special $3000 peso fee per condo to start up a contingency fund, as they don’t have one. That works out to around $275 US…or $274 Cdn…lol!! Monthly fees also went up by $150 pesos…or $12 Cdn.

Had burritos for la cena and ended the day watching the NFL on TV and at the same time via the internet, I watched the Nucks look REALLY good so far against Philadelphia!! 

Great sunny day today…some overcast rolled in at 4pm. The long term forecast predicts some possible showers on Domingo. We have had no day time precipitation since September 29.

Manana? Gimnasio and then Mojon.

Hasta luego mi amigos!!
