So many requests for another foto of one of the cliff divers of Acapulco...so we had to oblige.
As you can see from this next foto...it is ALL about the speedo!
Buenos noches!!
Hola mis amigos!! A late
night here in Huatulco. 830pm and Max has just hit the bedroom for a tanque up
and the mandatory 30 minutes of patrolling the bed. Doph.
Why are we late? A 430pm
nap started on time, but someone did not want to sleep until 5pm. And once we
were asleep…hello to a one hour chest nap!!
So up at 6pm and that just
put us behind for the night rutina. No crisis…we will catch up!!
And last night? Another
late night due to our dining out, but Max was asleep at 915pm and slept until
330am…and then would not fall asleep again. Huh? He leche’d up and then I took
on the 30 minute project of getting him back asleep. Maybe it was due to being
in a different bed?
But what was the payback
for all that work? How about a 4 hour sleep with the lil’hijo sleeping in the
crutch of my arm? Score!!!
But getting up at 8a (holy
sleeping in Batman), meant madre missed the “free” portion of her
massage…hydrotherapy. But we called down and confirmed she would still be on
time for the 9am massage, and that she was.
First though, hello to the
desayunos buffet!!
The madre went off for her
80 minutes of massaging, and Max and I finished our breakfast.
Hmmmm...grilled cheese!!
And once that was done, up
to the room to check the panale, say hello to our little friend and then off to
patrol the lobby of the hotel.
No grilled cheese in teeth? Check.
Padre...I am ready. Naa naa naa naa naa naa naa naa...Max Van!!
Doph...gotta pee.
If I was Superman...I could fly over this darn ledge!!
Cha ching...$40 pesos!!
This is Lalo #2...he used to work with Lalo #1 at Gabriels. Max is not sure about this brown fella...but hey, it is $10 pesos!!
Ugh...coffee breath?
Nap time came at 10am and
madre was due back by 1030am…perfect. That and checkout was 11am, so it was
good timing.
The nap lasted 45 minutes
and when madre came back to the room, all massaged up, I twisted her rubber arm
to take one more jacuzzi before we had to check out and head back to our hard
lives at Condos Pacifico. Ja ja ja
A couple more tid bitts
(heex3) from ayer? While walking the playa we are approached by some hombres
selling items. We said no to both, and one of the guys decided to pick up Max
and say hola. A super friendly beach hombre. The otra hombre came over and told
Bex and I that he recognized us as the couple who walk around the centro with
Max strapped to our chests!! Small town!!
And right after that, Max
almost ended up on Gilligan’s Island. Doph. So he had crawled on the sand and
had headed towards del mar, but this is NO tranquilo playa, so we were not
letting him get too close. Just close enough that a small wave could lap up to
him, or maybe just past him. This allows him to experience the olas and not
become timido.
Good news? He was not
timido, even though he definitely gave us the “what the F?” look.
Bad news? The wave lapped
up to him and then past him and kept going…with him in the wave.
We are thinking all the
pool training came in helpful here…for him. For us? It was the scene from
Rocky…the one where he is chasing the chicken. I finally caught Max and he was
a-ok. Let’s just say the padres learned ANOTHER parenting lesson.
Did I tell you about Max
and cookie CUTTER? Ja ja ja
Mr Hyde?
View from the balcony.
Back to today.
We checked out, all was
good and for the three of us, all inclusive (free samples of Negra Modelo? Ja
ja ja) and the massage…only $4362 pesos. The most outrageous item? The internet
charge was $200 for the day. At the condo we pay $400 for the month!! Doph.
Pit stop at Che to get
that out of the way. No scores, but some good eats for dinner. At Che we bumped
into Hector, m amigo from el gimnasio.
I have not seen him for 6
plus weeks and asked por que. He told me he had been busy on his rancho.
Down the next aisle and we
bump into Sally, Hector’s wife. We say hola and she admires Max, and then I ask
her why Hector hasn’t been at el gimnasio.
Let’s just say I asked one
question and with one answer, Sally answered my question and the question as to
what happened to Jhanhet, the gal who used to work at el gimnasio, but just
stopped coming to work. Oh Hector.
Headed home and I have
some sad news to report. One of our eco-friendly shopping bags had its handles
break. We bought these bags at the Dominion store (that brand no longer exists)
in Toronto, over 5 years ago!!
Every now and then we see
Che selling reusable bags and will score some when they are available next.
Once home, Bex rounded up
Max for some pool time, and then a siesta, while I unpacked and alos put away
the loot from Che. Next up…el gimnasio.
Frigging hot day, but
still managed an hour at the cook shack…aka El Gimnasio. Then it was time to
see if my student was ready for me.
Did I mention she has a
hermana that looks freakishly similar? No, they are not gemelos, twins…just very
much alike.
I realized my student was
not there and started helping the other sister with math. (X-5)(X-3) kinda
stuff.
And then my student
arrived and no, no tareas was done. Hmmmm. But we went over a bunch of words
and some she knew right away and some she had no idea about, but is super eager
to learn.
I asked her for one word
in español that we would translate and then practice. What word did she pick?
Carretilla…wheelbarrow. Huh? Well we did the exercise and then I told her for
next time, let’s pick some words she really wants to learn.
45 minutes later and I was
on my way. She would have liked me to spend 45 minutes practicing mañana, but I
have been clear that this will happen only a few times a week.
Headed home and that is
when the 430pm siesta story started…so you are all caught up.
Bex is LOADED with work
and had some short deadlines…go go go. Feast or famine with projects for her,
so we like the work and it just means we need to work our schedules. Best part
about the work is that she actually likes the projects she is working on. Tough
to have a project that you can accomplish, but just don’t enjoy spending your
time on it.
Some around town fotos.
To get into the engine department, sometimes you just have to roll up the sleeves and kick off the flip flops.
If you see one of these camions...
You are bound to see these peeps.
And it was hot out today!!
I finally figured out what they do in this tienda.
They sell a few shoes, but their main business is to clean shoes. $100 pesos to get your tenis cleaned.
Mañana? No sé…stay tuned.
Hasta mañana!!
Marco, Bexico y Max
