Hola!!
At 930am it was overcast and remained that way for most of the day…in La Crucecita. We did have several hours of sun at Mojon…more on that later.
Pretty standard day. Gimnasio, said hola to Daniel, great chat with Rosa and upon return to the condo, we left for Mojon.
Great news on the trabajo de Bexico scene. She is working on an animation contract for someone in New Hampshire. Felicidades!!
Here are the photos from the day.
Senor Bono is a mono (monkey) and here he is hanging around with the platanos that grow in the back yard of the condo grounds.
Said hello to Daniel and saw this sign.
They are holding a zapatos expo…lots of shoes.
Follow up photo from ayer. Here is the senora’s full mobile cocina y comedor, kitchen and dining room.
I liked the colors of this cowboy's ropa and his surroundings.
Here is a sign on the front of one of the turismo buses. It refers to a religious group from the state of Mexico (kinda like NY NY).
Here is a link to more info on Tultitlan Mexico.
I was at the same street corner as ayer, where all the buses had been stopped. I was taking the photos and saw another truck selling the pine furniture. I had previously taken photos of pine furniture manufacturer/sales people, but I looked closer and saw this.
This nino was mimicking my camera, and then when he knew I had spotted him, he became timido.
As mentioned, a great chat with Rosa. Her hija is in town for a week or so, then goes back to Mexico City for escolar. Her padre is coming for a visit, and her friend Paty is still looking for love, but will only settle for Richard Gere.
Ayer, we bought Rosa a galleta (cookie)…a galleta we describe as a Mexican shortbread. So close to shortbread from home…but never as good as mi Madres!!
Manana, I need to bring a wooly sock to the gimnasio. Por que? I showed Rosa the photos of Bono the Mono and she is stuck on the Ingles term “sock Monkey”. She understands “sock” and “mono”, but nit the concept. It is quite humorous.
Despues (despwes…after) gym, we hit Mojon and had a brief stop at the Copalita. The militar asked us “donde vienes”…where are you coming from? Due to the expertise of mi novia…I was ready. My reply? Donde vienes La Crucecita y adonde vas playa Mojon. Coming from la Crucecita and going to playa Mojon. He asked if we were going surfing and my reply was “bueno olas”…good waves.
A simple conversation, but we are making progress and it feels GREAT!!!
Bexico is hooking us up with a possible Spanish class for Enero…January. The only apprehension I have is that I am good at learning words and stringing them together for sentences, but not so good with the proper use of verbs etc. Important to learn…it will happen one way or another.
Alas, the olas were not great for surfing, but we had some great boogie board waves. It is the Navidad break and we have seen more people at Mojon then ever before. Must have been 4 Mexicans in the oceano and a group of 7 or 8 Canadians hanging around the playa. Crowd control almost necessary!! Lol
The sun was out for the first few hours and then became overcast. Not to fear…the 7 day forecast is sol and more sol!!
As we drove down to the playa from the highway, we saw this.
It looks like a brand new road up to the western headland.
And from our property, we saw some construccion being conducted up in the hills.
Here is our palapa with some new signage.
And after a hard day at the oficina, here is Bexico getting ready to head home.
Waved through Copalita on the way home, stopped at Che…a big run on Coca Light for NYE…and then home for la cena…roti pollo!!
Manana? No special plans, but I may stop by Marina Park (Senor Pucks), to talk with Lanny regarding the Mojon documents I left him.
Have you all made your resolutions de Ano Nuevo?
Hasta luego.
Bubba y Bexico
