domingo, el primero de abril de 2012


Hola amigos!!

915pm and we are chilling while watching a DVD.

Max did not handle the time change as well as we had hoped. Maybe because it was bright as day in his room when we tried to get him to sleep?

But he was asleep at 8pm…which would have been perfect if it was ayer…and 7pm!! Ja ja ja We will see how mañana goes….fingers crossed.

920pm update…the lil’hombre has Houdini’d himself and has one arm out of the sling…and is staring into the camera with both ojos open. Doph. Madre has gone in to fix him up and replace the soother. Fun times mis amigos!!

The morning rutina has become just that, the rutina. Bex had him first and when I got up…hello to a walk around centro. And being primero de abril de 2012, it is Palm Sunday.

From About.com…

Palm Sunday, the final Sunday before Easter Sunday, marks the beginning of Holy Week. Christian churches distribute palms (and sometimes pussy willows) on Palm Sunday to commemorate Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, when palm branches were placed in His path, before His arrest and Crucifixion on Good Friday.

Here is the iglesia in Huatulco…class is out!!


We saw lots of peeps walking out with their palm branches.

It is also April Fools día and I laughed at THIS WestJet video.

And at the start of a new month, time to check out the weather stats from marzo.

The lows were 25,9 grados vs 24,0 from marzo 2011, while the highs from this year were only slightly higher then last years, an average of 33,9 grados vs 33,5.

And what do we have to look forward to in abril? Last year we had average lows of 26,2 and highs of 35,0….and then the humido starts!!

Back to the day…

A hot walk around town and when we got back to the condo Max and I were greeted by Silverio y familia!! He had told me he would meet us at 10am…I guess he forgot the time change and thus Max and I left for our walk.

I passed Max off and came back to take some family fotos for mi amigo. Nice to meet his familia…it is considered an honor here. I made them all laugh with my Spanglish and a few chista…jokes.

Based on my experiences in Mexico, here is a typical family foto…note the smiles.


It made me laugh so hard. We are all chatting and laughing and as soon as I start to take a foto, the smiles, the sonrisas, disappear. Ja ja ja

But after some quick dialogue, I ended up with this foto.


And here is Silverio’s esposa y 3 month old niña.


Here are the fotos from the walk around centro.

This foto was in the blog from ayer. What I forgot to mention was the hombre in the right of the foto.


He is un maestro, a school teacher, at the school across from the papelería. I have seen him no less then 4 times...and every time he has a Coca Cola in his hand!!

Sunday mornings...might not be prime gas appliance selling time?


I liked the colors in this next foto. 


A busy morning at this comedor...a comedor economico.


A hard working hombre. In the heat, he is carrying a bag full of ladies sandals...right past the zapatería...shoe store. Doph.


The rest of the day was tranquilo domingo and that included Nascar, a nap and some alberca time. Sounds exactly like what Max’s day was like!!

Max actually had an early swim con madre and then spent 20 minutes plus on the JJ. The kid was laughing and smiling the whole time and is on his way to setting the World Record for the highest JJ jump!!

Overall, a great day that ended with hamburguesa domingo!!

Mañana…a new week starts and it will be a crowded centro y alberca. Might have to hit Mojon a few times over the next few weeks.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bex y Max
