Happy Sabado!!
Para el snowboard, Whistler esta el mejor de montana de America Norte…this is the phrase I have been practicing to explain to Ghimbo why he was given a Whistler playera (t shirt) as a regalo.
Ghimbo really appreciated (not sure he loved it…but appreciated the gesture) the shirt and Logan liked his cammo shirt…even more so when he grows into it. (lol…ja ja ja).
Here are some photos from my walk.
From the “what’s for sale in the back of this truck” series…
Bricks, roof tiles and a few floor tiles
I liked the colors of this photo. Here is a young hombre making his living by selling aprons door to door.
As for the gimnasio, I had a good work out and had some great chat with Ghimbo. He told me he will be running his own restaurant one day a week…every Domingo. His menu? Cerdo cooked many different ways…including brains…yikes. He lost me there but told me that this is what they eat in his state. On a tortilla…yikes #2.
After my work out, I came home to get ready for Mojon. Happy to see SB (Sleeping Beauty) was awake and ready to go.
As we were nearing Arrocito, I noticed the lid on the canopy was bouncing up and down. Pulled over and sure enough the one of the pistons that holds the rear window open had broken off its attachment. Argh.
A u-turn to Che and we picked up some rope to hold the window shut while we drive. Proximo semana I will buy a bungee cord. A few screws should fix the piston…if not I am sure someone here in town is willing to try to fix it!!
On the road again…
Our latest attempts at making Mexicans laugh and/or just smile, is the Moonie. I mentioned it in the blog from ayer, and here is what it looks like.
So we drive where we drive, and with a squeeze of the air pump, the Moonie goes from this…
….to this.
It has been a hit all around town…starting from our gate and down Carrizal!!
No time to use it at Copalita as we were recognized and got not only a wave through the checkpoint, but also a wave "hola" from one of the soldiers that knew us.
Nice to get back to Mojon!! We noticed that there had been a rainstorm while we were away as the lot looked groomed. There was also a high wave from a swell as it had cleaned the beach up to the foot of our lot. The rainstorm seems to have included some viento (wind) as we lost a few palm leaves from the top of the palapa. All good…it can be repaired!!
We also brought down the hammock which was a regalo from mi M&P. We needed to figure out how we can easily attach and detach it from the palapa. A run to the hardware store should solve the question. Once it is hung…check back for photos.
Had some time in the sun and some boogie boarding too. Here are the photos.
Bexico worked on both the boards and had a good couple of runs on the surfboard. She is getting there!!
The playa is sooo relaxing and we were very happy to get back to enjoy our piece of paradise!!
Around 5pm we packed up and headed back. We were questioned at Copalita, where are we coming from, where are we going and a question that Bexico understood and I did not…what is in the back of the truck. All good and then we showed the soldier the Moonie and he smiled.
What made us howl was the laugh we got from the VERY stern looking soldier who cracked up when he saw the Moonie in action!! Ja ja ja…it was hilarious!!
Upon returning from the playa, we hit the alberca to wash off the surfboard as well as ourselves. We did a quick dip when we smelled some smoke. We made a comment and got out of the pool and after we showered off, one of the smokers came by and in both an apologetic and facetious tone, told us that next time just tell her to butt it out and she will. No need to leave or make comments.
Bexico explained the whole story of her quitting and the smoking a-holes we have put up with around the alberca and the lady turned the tone down and told us she would recognize us in the future and butt out accordingly!! One smoker at a time!! Ja ja ja (Mexican version of lol)
FYI…another thing we enjoy about being this far south…610pm and it was still light out.
La cena was the yummy cerdo con papas and we are watching Mystic River on DVD.
Manana? NFL football baby!! And some alberca time of course. Hmmm…maybe pan frances Domingo?
Hasta luego amigos.
