Buenos noches!!
The blogger is back…all
rested up from a good sleep, a great snug with mi hijo from 5am until 7am, and
a great CN with the same lil’guy for another hour from 10am until 11am!! All
rested up!!
Weather? Back to some
heavy showers ayer and hoy, mainly cloudy with some sprinkles. But we are
expecting el sol to make its return soon.
We have had VERY little
humido…we have survived another summer? At 815pm, it is a cool 26,7 grados and
for the past 5 nights…no a/c!!
Watching the Global News
about the tragic accident of the niña falling 9 stories and then dying. Tragic
and makes us think about what we will be doing to keep Max safe here in CP and
Huatulco.
Updates from ayer…
Max did great at the
pediatra…no crying and even gave her the “you are crazy lady” look when she was
singing to him while examining him.
He got the clean bill of
health and madre did GREAT with asking all the questions in español and getting
all the answers understood. The doctor speaks no ingles and padre was outside
keeping Max busy until the exam started.
We found out about why his
skin is always hot, why he snores when ill and a few other things. Oh yeah…no
Men-C shot was given (we were lied to by others?) and we might be lucky enough
to have Max get a shot when he visits TO in diciembre.
We also discovered that BC
offers a chickenpox shot, but Mexico does not and it is only optional in
Ontario. Who knew?
As for stats…Max is 10
kilos and on the Canadian chart, that puts him in the 85th
percentile and his height is bang on for his age. On the Mexican charts…the
lil’niño is a GIANT!!
Max development? He
giggles more and more, laughs more and more, and we see him standing on his own
for 5-10 seconds at a time. Ta-da!!
Ayer I had the meet con
Roman and we reviewed all the plans, including, plumbing, water and electrical.
Phew. Quick meet as we had reviewed the main plans a few times already.
As for final costs…next
week is the big meet. I gotta say, seeing the plans are VERY exciting and we
will just have to wait and see if we can make it all happen. Stay tuned.
Ok, today’s news?
No Crown Royal for sale in
Huatulco…we are a dry town!! I asked the senora at the tienda where I get my
stock, where does she get her bottles? I asked if it was norte in Oaxaca o
Acapulco. She shakes her head with a big no and tells me her Crown Royal comes
from the estado of Chihuahua…waaaay norte. Who knew?
More product shortages?
Mil Isla dressing…we are out!! I was at Santa Cruz Abarrotes and I saw a hombre
stocking the shelves and asked if he worked for McCormicks, the dudes that make
the dressing, and he said sí.
Here the companies that
sell the products, are in charge of getting the shelves stocked. You see it all
the time at Che and at this little corner market, this hombre was working up a
sweat.
So I asked the hombre why
there has been no Mil Isla for weeks and if there would be some proxima
semana…next week. He was surprised that I asked and he said sí…next week. Stay
tuned!!
At el gimnasio? Someone
snuck in via the water tanque on the roof, and stole the computer and some
supplements. Have you seen the size of Galdino? Do you realize he takes the
jugo? I would not want to be that guy if Galdino finds out who you are.
Also at el gimansio,
Galdino asks me to watch the show while he steps out for a while. Huh? Lucky
for both of us that no one needed my assistance!!
As for the day
itself…nothing new. Had a nice Che run with Max and in between shifts, madre and
I managed to get the casa cleaned. Phew.
No scores at Che, they did
have a 3 for 2 sale on madre's cereal bars, and we bought some frozen salmon as
we realized we have not been filling Max’s dietary fish needs.
On that note, madre y Max
when to the pescaderia and asked some questions about what types of fish they
catch and sell here. We are going to be adventurous, buy some and steam it up.
Stay tuned as I am not a big fish eater or cooker…except for Bubba’s 3 mustard
salmon.
Ready for tons of fotos?
Batman taking a read.
From around town...
The cantinas and parque are not open yet...so our friendly neighborhood over drinker cleans the calle.
Amy, Victor y Tío at the comedor economico. Tío
is holding Amy's new $800 peso USB boom box.
That foto is from jueves, but on miercoles, Amy
drops off some agua and has this same boom box and when he comes to the door,
wants to come in and show it off to both Bex and myself. The thing is, I am
napping con Max and madre has to tell Amy he cannot come in today, and to turn
the darn thing down when he cranks it up.
It was like Christmas for Amy and he just wanted
to show off his new toy!!
I did reiterate to Amy that when the door to our
condo is closed. DO NOT use the timbre...the door buzzer, because the door
closed means their is a nap happening.
He told me he didn't use the buzzer...I
agreed and we both laughed when we said "yes, you did not use the
buzzer...you knocked on the door". Doph.
Next foto...a local tienda that sells ropa...and
fresh verdura. Hey...gotta make a peso however you can.
And here is Elder, who has wandered far from his
shop to make his pesos fixing this llanta.
One thing I did not like to see. This is a young person, doing a job I feel should be done by someone older. But I guess he too is helping make pesos for his familia by trying to sell pillows and chest of drawers.
At least he took a break with his amigo.
What's that? Timmy fell down a well and needs our help?
Paleta anyone?
For you Stuart...miau miau.
Four comedor economicos and all have set up their hand wash stations.
New cerrajeria across from CP.
The sign was done by hand...great talent but I think he needs a level.
WFSITBOTT?
Sun screens and some peeps use them as beach mats.
Max seems to have the "just busted" look on his face...quite often.
But first some stretching, using the towel of course.
And then the just busted look again.
Of course, what he wants is at the bottom of the box.
Gotta use the tippy toes for that!!
Some light reading...Good Night Gorilla.
And again, the just busted look.
And look who is eating lunch.
Who says our hijo doesn't smile?
Mañana? Well…I tweaked my
back and if the drugs all work…off to el gimnasio!! It is also pizza sábado,
courtesy of Chef Bex and we need to get some fotos for our FM3s.
The race is on domingo…tune
in!!
Buen fin de semana.
Marco, Bexico y Max
