Cream cheese anyone?

Buenos noches!!

A blur of a day that started at 4am…we will solve this sleeping issue one way or another!!

Up for good at 6am and off we went. The lil’guy was hambre…he wolfed down his desayunos!!

Good walk…hola to lots of peeps and some good kiosko time. The lil’guy just loves to be out of the condo, walking the streets of La Crucecita.

As for the town, some definite hustle and bustle as peeps are getting prepared for Día de los Muertos. There are new vendor stalls popping up by the tiangus and they are selling all the Día items like pan, dulce and even sugar cane.


Who knew peeps on the “other side” liked sugar cane?

Lots of flowers being sold as well…quite a colorful time of year here.


As for the lil’heart breaker…he was all dressed up today!!


Max...Max Van!!


Showing his sensitive side.


Then cutting loose!!



Futbol anyone?


And why should we be worried about his head? 


Hola? Senoritas?


Found string...will play quietly for 15 minutes.



After the walk, home for the nap and it was a well deserved 90 minuter!! Good for the boys to recharge the batteries and it also gives Bex some free time to get her day going. Hola to some laps at the pool…and more reading on how to wean your niño!!

Madre took over and we had a new and improved Party Palace to explore…version #97!! The big attraction for Max right now is the book case where the TV and stereo sit. Doph.

We are working on some discipline and Max really understands when he is not supposed to do something…like hands in the toilet or climbing the bookcase. But that doesn’t mean he will not voice his disapproval with our decision…oh he has a voice!!

Hey…it was no clunk martes!! Not a single blow to Max’s head!! Like I said, if he can survive us, he can survive anything!!

Back to the day. I readied myself for el gimnasio and it was a nice walk. Overcast day and I think we didn’t break 30,0 grados.

Madre y Max were headed to walk the mall so we all walked out to the gate and they went left and I went right.

Here they are on the prowl.


Max has gone Mexican on us. When it is hot, you will see many hombres with their shirts over their bellies.


The E on the sign stands for estacionamiento...parking.

It sometimes takes 2 peeps and 10 minutes to get socks and shoes on the lil'guy. So for this adventure, he was Croc'd up.


Note the ever diligent and always careful and concerned madre!! She has a firm grip on the lil'walkers playera, shirt and just in case he trips, she will save the day. 

Note how chilly it was today...jeans? Oh madre!!


I did my 15 minute walk to the gym and on the way Elder confirmed domingo at 1pm and asked where Marina Park Plaza is. 

If we even get 1/2 the peeps we invited, it will be one VERY eclectic group!!

As for el gimnasio, amazing how much more energy you have when the gym is only 29,0 grados vs 40,0!!

Here is a new Mexicoism. There was no musica at the gym and I asked why. I was told there were “no luces” which means no lights, but in actual fact there was no power. Me, I would have said no electricidad, and would have been correct and wrong at the same time. Who knew?

Hustled home so I could go to Che, sat outside and won a game of Solitaire on my iPod and then the familia all went to Che.

No scores and good thing we had previously bought 6 packages of our panales as they have been out in Huatulco for the past few weeks…oh oh as Max would say!!

Headed home and while I put away the stock and fought an ant army, Max y madre had some fun pool time.

Great PM rutina…some yummy cerdo again…and you know who is asleep!! Madre is up in the oficina and after a few months of constant work and deadlines, her work load slowed down and is slowly building again.

Nice for her to have this large client base as one of her Aussie clients has moved to the US and has more work for her. She also has some work for her mucho loco client in India…hey, it’s work and pays for the tacos!!

Ok, some last fotos.

Maybe Max will be on Google streetview!!


Why do camionetas always seem to break down by this parque?


Have a safe and Happy Halloween. Next year we will dress up the lil’monkey and take him for a stroll around the centro. This year? In bed by 7pm!!

Hasta mañana.


Marco, Bexico y Max
