Hola all. 915pm here and
settling in to watch the Canucks play and update the blog.
Not sure why, but we seem
to have no trouble receiving all canals from the Shaw dish….and we did not
change a thing. Huh?
But that is Shaw. Now
Rogers on the other hand…I called, changed my plan to a pay as you go (keeps my
#) and what do I receive today? A bill for Feb 9- Mar 9. Huh again? Mañana I
will have to plug in the MJ and give them peeps a call. Stay tuned.
Great day. Long day, but
great. Must remember that Max is only 14 weeks old and even though we planned
the day around him, it was long and hard on him.
We left Huatulco at 945am
and one hour later we were in Pochutla. Max had a short zzz on the way and
after a pit stop at the Bodega, we went and parked near the mercado.
Gave him some leche and a
panale change and then went for a walk. Sooo much to see and explore, but it
was mucho calor (very hot) and crowded, so we spent 30 minutes or so and then
back to the camioneta.
It makes us realize we
made the correct decision on a GREAT offer from RJ y Rolly a few weeks ago. The
offer was for a week at Disney in Florida, but with crazy flights from here to
Orlando and then Max being so young, it just wasn’t the right time.
We will take him when he
can handle a few more hours of activity, and when he can enjoy a day with
Mickey.
Fotos from Pochutla.
Misc fotos
This hombre was selling aguacates (avocados) 5 for $10 pesos...less then a dollar. He was gone by the time we returned to the camioneta.
This is one entrance to the open market, held only on lunes.
Where's Max?
Mats y baskets.
Now I know where to go before proximo Fin de Año!! Hello fireworks!!
Orange lunes?
Fresh verdura
Chilies
Sandia. Hector, from el gimnasio, grows sandia on his rancho.
Entrance to the indoor mercado...we have not been there yet.
Loaded up and an hour or
so later, we were in Puerto Escondido.
During the drive, we
stopped after el Puente Cozoaltepec (bridge over the río Cozoaltepec) to take these fotos.
Fresh water flowing from the moñtana to del mar (the sea...as it is called here, even though it is the Pacific Ocean). Note the lush verde around the río and the brown in the hills.
Lots of tourists in PE as
it is a surf town and is quite a bit larger then Huatulco.
We grabbed lunch first, at
the same restaurante we have been to many times. Max was well behaved, but
between Pochutla and getting home at 6pm, he seemed restless and there was a
merry go round of being sleepy, but not sleeping, wanting to eat, but not
eating, having to burp, but not burping. The one thing he had no problem
with…hello dirty panales!! Ja ja ja
After our lunch, we loaded
Max into the sling and went for a walk along the street and then onto the
famous Playa Zicatela.

about this famous playa.
Here are the fotos from
our beach walk.
The olas grande are in julio, agosto y septiembre.
In Pochutla, we saw a group of Marinas (always in uniform...camo) at the Bodega. They LOVED Max's gafas del sol.
Have sombrilla....will travel.
After the walk, off to
Che. It is a much larger Che then in Huatulco and we scored large!! Note…the
Che in Huatulco is rumored to be expanding. When? No sé…maybe in a few years.
Madre y Max stayed in the
camioneta and had a snooze and Bubba was the Super Mandilón and did the
shopping!! Ja ja ja
And what did we score on?
For Max…
How much for the hat? How about $35 pesos...less then $3 Cdn
And from the Bodega...
Already used!!
NEVER too early to start the training. Not used yet...no fotos to come!! ja ja ja
Yes, that was un asiento entrenador (seat trainer), and if you read the label carefully, it states "reduce el peligo de caídas"...reduce the dangerous fall!!
As for the next item, it reminds me that I need to write a book about all the items you DO NOT need to buy when you have a niño (travel bassinet anyone?) but things you can never have too many of...like toallitas para bebé!!
For the new baker in the
familia…we haven't seen most of these in Huatulco, or they haven't been available for quite a while.
Hello galleta de molasses!!
Yeast...hello fresh baked bread for the guests at Mojon.
Crispy Rice square domingo!!
I dig the garbanzos...first time I recall eating them was on a salad at Pags in Victoria BC...am I wrong Oma?
This stuff is like a paste. Needed to add agua y canela...yummy.
The other item in the foto is from a set of coasters and mats. They were a gift from mis padres...neat item made up of used newspaper.
And for Bubba…
That MUST be an American product!!
Managed to get home for
6pm bath time and Max hit the sack and fell asleep pooped.
Bex and I chowed down on
some oh so good burgers and you are all caught up. I did manage a FT with mi
hermano…always good to catch up.
Mañana? Gym to work off
the buns I ate at lunch, the cookies I ate ayer and the Oreo cookie and crema
pudding/jello I just finished. Oh Bubba!!
What else? Follow up with
Roman as well as the dumb a**es at Roger. Sometime soon I need to study up the
palabras for un corte de cabello…hair cut. Getting shaggy…Max keeps giving me dirty
looks!! Lol
Have a great martes.
Marco, Bexico y Max
