Hola all!!
9pm on a Saturday night…a VERY warm Saturday night. It is currently 31,4 grados outside and due to cooking a rib eye steak con papas puree y grilled cebollo, it is 32,4 inside. Yikes. This might mean a secreto dip in the alberca later!!
Lots going on in regards to the internet streaming….and tonite’s internet speed sucks. We get stop, start, stop, start so we will avoid video and just go to Espn.com to see who is leading the race in tonite’s NASCAR race, see when the Canucks score vs Nashville and see how fast GSP wins his bout on UFC!!
UPDATE
Canucks up 1-0 and Jeff Gordon was just in a huge crash.

Our day was a usual sábado. We had desayunos and then walked to Papalopan to buy a steak. While we were inside, Lalo came in and and helped explain the procedure.
You can buy from the freezer or fridge, or you step up to the butchers counter and ask for whatever you are there to buy. We saw a 650 gram rib eye already cut, so we bought that. Nice piece of meat and only $80 pesos…just under $7 Cdn.
Only issue? We went to cook it tonight and found out it was actually 2 steaks. Next time we will step up to the counter!!
Lalo was getting ready for a meal with his novia who works around the corner from him. He bought some meat and today Papalopan had their bbq set up outside, so he was having the meat cooked before he went to meet his gal.
He is headed home in 2 weeks and we hope to meet him in Acapulco for some guided tours!!
After steak shopping, Bexico picked up some laundry for S&A as they are no longer here. Me…off to el gimnasio and here are the fotos.
Just a 16 litro bottle of agua outside Marius’s door.
We go through one of these every 2 days or so. Cheap…$19 pesos…$1.50.
Lots of taxis on Bumgabilia.
These hombres were getting their huevo boxes full of sandals ready.
I never get tired of taking fotos of hard working Mexicans.
34 plus grados and this guy is carrying dos mesas.
Where there are mesas, there is a factory.
Our maestra is away so we have no clase de español. How about clase de ruso?
Only $30 pesos per hour!! иметь хорошую ночь…have a good night.
The gym was quite busy, but managed to fit in a good workout before heading home and onto Mojon.
HOT at Mojon. Not much of a breeze, but the palapa helps. Good day for shell seeking and the playa was deserted. High tide so not many surfers, but we did see two trucks rollin with lots of boards on their roofs. It looks like they were headed to stay down the playa at Terrys.
Once we have our rental villas up and going, we can expect the same type of business during these months. Not so much sun seekers as surfers and Mojon is 2 hours from Puerto, 15 minutes from La Bocana and 30 from Barra. And of course Mojon has it’s own great surf as well.
Spent the day chill-laxin and then packed up around 530pm. We did get the search on the way home, but they were polite and asked us about our day at Mojon. Reminds me about the conversation I had as we packed up the truck this morning. A Mexican hombre wanted to talk about our camioneta (truck) with me. What year, what size engine, gas tank size, mileage etc. Nice to be able to actually have the discussion.
Stopped at Che and then came home for alberca time. Not many peeps left in the pool…the water was actually clear/clean too!!! Ja ja ja
Great dinner and the first period of the Nucks worked so-so.
Currently Bexico is back at work in the oficina, I am trying to watch the last 10 laps of the race and that is our sábado!!
Mañana…we have a few iChats y Skypes lined up.
Have a great domingo!!
1-0 Nucks at end of 2nd and it looks like Kyle Busch won the race.
Marco y Bexico
