Hola!! 630pm and I have just returned from a walk in the lluvia!! It started at 3pm and has not let up.
Why the walk? We needed some verdura para nuestra ensaldas y pollo para la cena. Doph…forgot to pull some carne out of the fridge…but it is all good as I went back to the boys at the new pollo roti tienda and grabbed a fresh roti con roasted cebollo!!
The dos hombres working the roti, were happy to see me again and we had a great chat while waiting for our bird. Where are we from? Why are we here? How long have we been here etc.
Flip flops and an umbrella…welcome to rainy season. I saw a lady y hija walking with their golf umbrella and I said “me gusta su grande paraguas” and they both laughed.
Waiting on ensaladas and while we do, here is our day.
Bexico was busy from the get go. She has had a few days of good sleep and has risen earlier then normal to accomplish some work.
She still has 4 or 5 clients on the go and continues to apply for more contracts and interview for current leads. All is good there…only having a small technical issue with the monkey animation. But Bexico is working hard to solve it…I am no help there. Lo siento!!
This afternoon Bex had a Skype with some very energetic midwives from North Vancouver. Just gathering our facts and ensuring we are all set to go once we land back in Vancouver. They seem to be quite knowledgeable and say all the right things to keep both of us calm!! Ja ja ja
It is all about making informed decisions and allowing us to have the birth the way we want…including a last minute epidural if so desired. (for me that is…Daddy down!!! Ja ja ja).
My day? No different then ayer…but more fotos!!
Weather was overcast this morning so temps are great and it also allows some fotos vs dashing through puddles.
As I was leaving the complex, I gave Silverio (pronounced Silberio) a All Bran bar (compliments of Bexico) and left my camera as I took care of recycling. When I got back, Silverio hand me my camera and it is evident he has never held or used a DSLR before. So I took 10 minutes to walk him through the camera and he was quite excited about the zoom lense.
Here are the 3 fotos Silverio took.
Hit the gym and it was empty. I had a great workout and a short chat with mi amiga Rosa. Her arm is not better and now she has Galdino asking her who is going to clean the gym. Yikes.
Headed through town on the way home and caught up with the boys. Their big rapido partido is on viernes and Bexico and I will make it a date night!! Ja ja ja
Grabbed some platanos and then had some chilly alberca time con mi novia. We were waiting until after the Skype to go for our walk, but the lluvia came and that changed our plans.
I spent some time on line and managed to buy some shirts and shorts and have them sent to Portland OR. But had no luck with Nike.com so I ended up having to plug in the Magicjack and call them to o place the order. I ordered three more pairs of trainers…impossible to find here in Mexico.
I also tried to order some items from ToysRUs.com…but had the same issue. Their websites will not accept a billing address in Canada with a delivery address in the USA. Dumb.
Take a look at this item though.
Funner para niño!!
I am going to ask Nick if he can order it for us instead. And ToysRUs has even sent me $10 as a way of saying sorry. The kicker? They tell me I cannot order from them...and then flood my email with electronic ads!!
As for the weather…it was too wet and slippery for mom to be, so I went out and grabbed the goods. La cena was soooo good and at 9pm, we both sit in the living room working away on our lap tops.
Here are the rest of the fotos from hoy.
Anyone know where this is?
Not sure…but it is somewhere in China. Thank you Ackeeu for another foto from your journey.
As I was coming up to the parque, I saw that it was orange season again.
And who is that to the right of the truck? Mi amigo Daniel!!
The rain had stopped, so the pothole repair team was out.
Note the red big rig in the right of the foto. More on it later.
And guess which of these guys is the jefe...boss.
The big rig? It backed itself up a one way street and then took a right down a street that is normally two way.
But due to the paving, it became a very busy one way street and after 15 minutes, the truck gave up and I saw it drive down the one way street…this time in the right direction.
This hombre was watching all the action.
And when I asked Daniel if this next group were his amigos…
or maybe his equipo (team) de Fonatur getting ready for un partido de soccer, both Daniel and the ol Senor had a laugh.
The pile has gotten bigger.
But I think by the time he is finished, he will just need to start again.
This niño was selling some home made goods.
Not sure what they are called, but they were round and looked like they had chocolate in between the two wafers.
These hombres were bagging some mangos to sell.
They probably get a few crates fairly cheap and then make their $$ from selling them bagged.
And the traffic island has become a papaya stand today.
There is a corner lot very near the gym. The owners usually have several dogs chained up…today I saw dos perros that I have never seen before.
And from mecanico alley.
Something does not look safe here. Kinda like a Coyote (vs Roadrunner) ACME trap.
And an updated foto of the camio de concreto.
I think the clima (weather) is delaying the final paint job.
And in front of a comida.
Almost every day I see a niño getting rocked in his hammock.
Here are a few truck drivers getting some rest before they head back to where ever they have come from.
The Mexicans (and dos Canadiense!!) love their hammocks!!
And back at the parque.
These food carts are always packed at lunch time.
This niño was walking with his madre y hermanos, who were slightly a head of him.
They came upon busy Blvd Chahue and madre left her stroller on one side and took the niño across and told him to sit and wait for her.
It was then that I went and assisted the senorita across the Blvd and took this foto as they walked away.
Who’s that trying to escape from the stroller?
What is the caption to this next foto?
“Thank you…you may go now?”
And why do the tamarindos park themselves at this spot?
Maybe everyone is missing the alto sign?
Why are the cars avoiding the centre of calle Bugambilia?
Hello...grande bache…big pothole.
And this is the one they repaired after the last big storm. Doph.
And not wanting to spoil your regalo de Navidad...but here are the ceramic perro hombres.
Here they are unloading and unpacking.
And here is one of the hombres….sooooo close to a sale!!
And last but not least.
Senor Gecko is back.
And for our miercoles? Must get to the cine to ask “¿que pelicula es en ingles?” and see if anything catches our fancy for 2 for 1 movie night. Also have a Che trip and an Elektra trip planned.
Bexico might be down to 3 contracts by mañana…but always looking for more.
Hasta manaña amigos.
