Max, all quilted up. Thanks Oma!!

Buenos noches all!!

810pm and madre is working on round 1 with Max…fingers crossed!! Naaah…he has been really good at night. Normally it has been 30 minutes con madre, then the Whisperer goes in for 10 minutes or so, sets up the camera and is done…until he stirs.

Our day? Tranquilo…hello, it is Huatulco!!

Max and I were up at the crack of dawn and followed the usual rutina. We had a nice walk and even un-slinged on the parque benches as they have been repainted.

And before we headed home for our siesta, we went to the kinder school. There, Max hung onto the bars of the exterior wall, staring at all the lil’people playing on the equipment. 830am the bell rings and all these kids scattered, Max loosened his grip, and we were off.

Short nap and due to the fact that madre had a late night, Max y padre headed off for round 2 of our morning.

Round 2? How about Max y padre headed to playa Santa Cruz for some crawling in the sand and some bobbing in the oceano? Followed by a stop at Che!!

Madre took the lil’surfer to playa Chahue yesterday, and I agree with her…lots of work when you are by yourself. Packing the needs, lugging them and Max, loading the camioneta, unloading the camioneta, getting Max ready, watching that he does not eat sand or get swept away by a rogue wave, getting him changed and then getting him home.

And throw in a stop at Che!!! Phew. Not hating (at all!!)…just stating.

We had a great time at the playa, no eating of the sand, just some sampling…oh Max!!

Thrilled that he is over his fears of the playa y olas!! We only spent 20 minutes on the beach, as I was worried about sun exposure. He wears sunscreen (thanks to mi hermano), a full sleeve rash guard, a hat and shorts, but the sun still hits the back of his neck and legs and sometimes on the small of his back when the rash guard rises. And with this Mexican sun…quick sunburns on the lil’red headed hombre.

920pm UPDATE…small storm outside…no TV signal. Might have to pick up a book!! Ja ja ja

Hey, take a look at THIS video…but only if you like nail biting nervousness.
  
And you thought it was going to be a video of Max being swept away by a wave!! Ja ja ja

After the playa, Max and I hit up Che and two weeks in a row…scored on real leche!! Other then that, not much new there. It is a funny town as when Che is out of wet wipes for Max, most tiendas in town are also out of stock as well.

Grabbed some pollo milanesa and some ground up chorizo…hola to Bubba’s quesadillas!!

I was pushing the limit on Max’s 2nd nap and a tank up, and made it home just in time!! No need to cause a melt down and both Bex and I have tried hard to be proactive with these types of things with Max…and we think it has paid off huge.

Anyway, madre took over and I headed out to el gimnasio. Nothing new there, but did spend 45 minutes with my student. Today’s lessons were the verbs to prefer, to clean and to like. That and what the words I, you, he, she, them and we mean.

Slow process as she is smart enough to learn the words, but struggles with pronunciation…yo tambien…me too!!

Hilarious, as I would ask her to write a word in español, but she couldn’t understand me. So I would write the word and she would laugh at how I pronounced it.

Oh…she IS a twin…gemela. When I walked by the camioneta/escuela on the way to el gimnasio, I thought I saw my student and asked if she had studied her ingles. She said “otra”…other, meaning her sister, and then I confirmed they were twins and she was the oldest by seconds.

I talked to Un Ojo Bob and told him to follow up and we will see how the homework is next week. Stay tuned.

Headed to buy some verdura for the pico de gallo and quesadillas and then home. Madre took the lil’napster to the pool and I prepped for la cena and the night rutina.

And that pretty much wraps up the day.

Lean day on fotos. Ya ya, I know.

Well used truck for sale.


The sign on the grill reminds me that Mexico came up with that symbol for pesos, before it was used for dollars. 

Here is a picture of a Safari, also known as The Thing. Looks like the tamarindo is happy. Hmmmm?


Dos trikes loading up on hielo at the Vitel factoria.


Talking about pollo. Nahhh, this is a gallo, rooster....but still in someone's front yard.


Wow…is it sábado mañana? No weekend plans…except for the race on Sunday night.

Misc…meeting with Roman mid next week…welcome to Mexican time. For anyone who has built here in Mexico, delays are not uncommon. Stay tuned.

Ok mis amigos, buen fin de semana!!

Marco, Bexico y Max
