Welcome to Tranquillo Domingo!!

As per the title of today's blog, I am now labelling them as they would in Mexico. A comma after the day and the month does not have a capital letter.

Started the day by replacing and then installing a new o-ring on the espresso machine. Phew…Bexico got her caffeine fix!!

Had some desayunos, watched some football and then had some alberca time. Nice day here in Huatulco…looks like we hit 32 today!!

Back in for some more football while Bexico continued working on her animation contract.

Today, we received an email from Jay and it included all the river rafting photos he took. He had this great waterproof 35mm type camera…might look into one of those!!

Any who…here are some of the photos, again with credit to and permission from Jay.

Jay and Crista....in the warmth of Mexico vs the brrrrr of Colarado!!


A view of the mountains as we ourselves headed up into them.


The road up was really a one lane trail…here is what happens when you come upon another vehicle, and ours was a big truck!!


We came upon these bomberos (firemen), putting out some spot fires.


Here are the rafters all geared up.


The river was running, but tiempo proximo (next time), we will go earlier Octubre or Noviembre to get some real rainy season run off!!

Here are two photos showing you some of the rapids we took.



When we broke for lunch, the 3 main guides jumped right on cutting up the fresh fruit and cracking open the ever present 3 litro bottle of Coke.


And it would not be a trip without the guide allowing some passengers to “fall” out of the raft. I wonder how Jay managed to get his camera to shore BEFORE this event? Lol The two peeps in the water are Bexico and myself.


I am glad Jay captured this next photo. As we finished our trip, we pulled in under this bridge and saw an old school “walking wire”. Not only did we see kids hang from this and then jump into the rio, we saw this youngster walk across it.


This is where we stopped on the way home for some bebidas y refrescos. They also made tortillas here.


And as reported in a previous blog, here is the nino that REALLY wanted to pour the Mezcal tasters for us.


Before la cena, we went for a quick walk around town. It was a quiet day here…many of the turismo buses are headed back to Mexico City. Said hello to the boys, grabbed a galleta (soooo good cookie) and then we grabbed some veggies. Low stock…they should be refilled manana.

Bexico had a great iChat with her Madre while I prepared some chorizo quesadillas. And now? Chillax’in between watching the stink’in Seahawks try to make the playoffs and The Thomas Crown Affair.

Manana? Back to the routine...el gimnasio esta abierto!! As for surfing...we do have some 4 rated olas coming this week…stay tuned.

saludos
