Hola mis amigos!!!


645pm…the race is about to start and we are just waiting for the penne noodles to finish cooking!!

Now here is an interesting start to the day.

So after our walk around centro, Max and I retire to the alberca to cool our pies. We normally sit in the camping chairs and chill’lax and today was no different. The chairs are under the arbol grande…the big tree, and all of a sudden we see something fall out of the tree, only a few metros away from where we are sitting.

It was a snake...not the biggest snake, but who knows what type it is and if it is harmless or not.

I point out the snake to the joven who was in the pool, then I get Petra to look at it. She promptly tells Marciano to get his machete. Cooler heads prevail and the padre of the joven steers the snake…to the chair Max has been sitting in!!

I grab Max and we share my chair and moments later, the snake crawls up the newly vacated chair. Yikes. The hombre grabs the chair, puts it in the gardenia and then the snake stops, gives us a wink and takes off.




Marciano con machete!!



As for the walk, it was early and still cool from the night. Seems we hit our daytime lows around 6am and it hovers there for a few hours before the sun comes up and the temperatures start jacking up.

Saw quite a few peeps, some old amigos and some new faces. Grabbed a beso from Tío Betto (Max did…not me!!) and for madre, a croissant from the bakery.

After the pool, we swapped Max off and shortly later it was off to el gimnasio where I had the place to myself. Pit stop for some pan and plátanos and then home.

Bex was working out and Max was keeping pace via the JJ. The two of us hung out reading some Dr Seuss and then madre took the lil’drooler off for some more leche and another nap…in the cuna!!

When we both awoke from our separate naps, off to the pool where he LOVES the floatie…that I have no fotos of…yet. Mañana is Mojon, so you will see some pool fotos on lunes.

835pm UPDATE

Max was not falling asleep so Bex asked me to take over. She did ALL the heavy lifting, some 25 minutes of rocking and 3 attempts to get him to sleep.

I walk in, lay him down on the bed, he spat out his soother and went to sleep. Ja ja ja.

Talking about poaching, how about chest nap poaching? Ayer, Bex had finished rocking Max and was about to put him in his cuna, and I stroll into his room, lay on the bed, get myself comfy and ask for Max on my chest!! Smooth operator!!

After the pool, upstairs for the latest addition to the rutina…we feed Max some solids while we are eating our ensaladas. Correction….currently it has been Bex doing this but I will be getting more involved soon…I really want to.

So Max had some cereal and then some mushed up apples…and ate it all!! He is truly enjoying the eating experience….like madre like hijo!!

Then I cook la cena, Max chills out and watches us eat dinner…and then off to his tina. And now a days, keeping him in his tub is becoming more and more of a challenge. Part monkey maybe?

Fotos.

Ever get that feeling that someone is looking down on you?


The Nest of Leon.


Lots of autobuses in town this weekend.


And later in the day I saw this bus and a hombre under it.


Let's just say he was NOT draining the oil...yech.


Elder sprucing up the shop.


If only the condo was bigger...


King Neptune getting the royal treatment. Not sure why.


No rear window. No placas. No driver?


Doph...Tamarindos. Good luck.


And rarer then the two headed kitten or snake?



Yup...5 peeps on a 100cc scooter. Check out the rear tire.


Not sure there are 5 peeps? You can clearly see the 4 heads. The 5th head is hidden but belongs to the 3rd set of legs from the back of the moto.

Some mid afternoon chez lounge time.


Here is Max with his bath book...a regalo from his abuelos.


As mentioned, Mojon tomorrow…maybe a pit stop at Pucks for some papas, and then home for hamburguesa domingo!!

Currently Bex is cooking up some food for Max’s next solid meal and then is headed into the oficina. She has been given more work by her San Diego based client, and HERE is a link to some work she has completed for the Belgium based client.

Me? Duh…the race. Max? zzzzzzzzzz

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Marco, Bex y Max
