Hola all…it is sábado!
Goose…you would be proud of us. We bought this today…
And all during dinner and for the past few hours we have been breaking it in by watching Rattle and Hum!! Love the boots on Bono…ja ja ja
Ok, our day.
Bexico has been go, go, go with her negocio!! Excellent!! Her Vancouver project was competed as per requested and the hombre wanted to make a few more changes (to his original idea), so he requested these of Bexico and already sent her $50 for the work!!
Meanwhile she is completing some animation samples for another possible contract!!
Me? El gimnasio was primero…first. The elliptical machines are not ready to go…thank goodness as it must have been close to 50 degrees in there today!! Not hating…just stating!! Had a great workout, no Rosa (?) but caught up with Memo and then hit the road.
A pit stop to say hola to Daniel at Gabriel’s. It is sooooo busy (ja ja ja), that he has moved the entertainment outside.
I guess it was a big European league match…Manchester vs Barcelona?
Caught up with Daniel and found out he is manning the tienda solo because everyone is in Pochutla…taking care of Sergio who has appendicitis. Here’s to a quick recovery amigo.
Came home and we had some alberca time and then had to go to Elektra to meet up with Roman. We measured the w/d and think it will fit under the bulkhead and that the plumbing, gas and electrical will not be an issue.
Good to have him there as we could communicate most items, but asking the salesperson to order us a brand new one, in the box, would have been tough.
We also picked out our refrigeradora and will order one of those too. It is a 16 cubic foot (called pies) Whirlpool. Would have gone for the grande mac daddy model of them all…but it wouldn’t fit behind the front door where the other ones go. Oh well….we will be thrilled with the extra room.
And we also saw a crib…I think they are called cuna here. Muy caro…so we suss out other models etc before we buy that one. And last but not least…will end up buying our king size colchón there too. Por que? So Roman’s team can pick up all three items for us. Most appliance tiendas here do not deliver!!
Waiting until lunes when Roman double checks on the height of the w/d fitting…and then it will be back to Elektra y Irving (ear-ving) our salesman.
Paid the Telmex bill…adios $1000 pesos, and we went into Che.
So…how to sell Bubba a new TV? Put it right at the entrance of the store and have it on sale from $8000 pesos (tax incl) to $6600 pesos!!
Yeah, we bought it as we have a 14 inch TV in G10 and B10 has a bigger one, but it looks old!!
When I got home and finished unpacking it etc, I went on line to see how good (or bad) a deal we really made. Same model in the US was $800 plus tax and a similar model at Futureshop was $670 plus tax.
At $6600 pesos, we paid $563 CDN, including tax…or $502 plus the 12% HST. Great deal!! And better yet, it frees up room in the truck for the return trip in December.
All we need now is the satellite as the canals (channels) we get now are fuzzy (free tv) and our DVD are not HD.
And what other scores did we get at Che? For when you amigos come to visit and Bexico whips us up some triple Golden Margs…a 1.2 litro bottle of Cuervo for $88 pesos…$7.50 CDN. Hello Melon!!
Came home, unloaded groceries and then unpacked the new toy. It is about ½ the size of our living room. Ja ja ja.
La cena…chicken quesadillas con queso cheddar y manchego and some home made pico de gallo.
Después de la cena, I finished watching U2 and Bexico went back to her oficina. Currently 1035pm and time for dishes (fregadero is a dish sink, lavaplatos is a dishwash machine and lavamanos is a hand sink) followed by the mandatory post day ducha…shower. ¿Por que? It is 35 degrees at 1045pm!!
The rest of our fotos for the day.
Here ayer, gone hoy.
This was a hair saloon yesterday and today it is empty.
While this was a perfume tienda a few weeks ago.
Throw up a smoke stack and today they are selling roti pollo for $55 pesos…$5 pesos cheaper then their local competition.
Hard working hombres y mujers.
The bookshelf peeps. How would you like to be on the highway driving behind that camioneta?
And the sock hombre.
The shopping bag y hat senorita.
And this spot is about to be manned by a senora, selling her fruits y veggies.
This is Sergio’s old jewelry shop.
They closed it down a week ago and his neighbor, Roberto, took it over and has now filled it with his tourist goods. They work VERY long hours…but are doing quite well for themselves. I have seen a few nice trucks driven by the familia.
And some not so hard working hombres.
Yup…the Tamarindos have set up their “sting” in the industrial section.
They are looking for plates and licenses and you have two options…make a donation or get your vehicle towed.
These scooter peeps are getting grilled.
The guys on the red moto were allowed to leave...the senorita left her moto behind.
At the end of the shift….
The camioneta did not make it, nor did the group of motos.
MISC fotos
Naranjes are back in season.
And look what is for sale.
Not sure what happened, but this was for sale outside Elektra a few weeks ago and is now parked in a tour bus lot and for sale.
Mañana? Hello cerdo hash con huevos revueltos para desayunos, followed by Indy 500 at medio diá (noon) and NASCAR at cinco de la tarde. Probably fit some alberca time in-between!!
And we will end the day with hamburguesa domingo as well as a Skype con RJ para mi novia.
Hope you are all having a great weekend.
Hasta mañana.
Marco y Bexico
