Hola hola as they say in
B10!!
Good day again…never
getting tired of these good days!!
Great Mojon meet con Roman
and we have never been closer to signing on the bottom line and getting this
project started.
Today we talked about the
dreaded concrete beams that we will need to support the 2nd and 3rd
floors. The beams are thinker then the walls and floors, so they will end up
being seen.
We managed to move some of
them so they are not visible from inside and that leaves us with two that will
separate the cocina from the comedor from the sala…about 8 inches wide and a
foot from the ceiling.
Not the ideal, but needed
and we can paint them or even cover them with a wood exterior.
We also spent some time
talking about albercas and we have settled on a fiberglass model that will need
to be shipped in from the norte, but it will save us some $7000 dollars.
Propane tank and water
booster pump were also discussed and we have solutions for both.
Next steps? Believe it or
not I need to confirm how fast of an internet system we can get for Mojon. If
we cannot get one that accommodates Bex’s work, we will have to rethink things.
She can do all the work at
Mojon and then bring it into town to send, but a pain in the butt. So we will
work on it and figure it out. Our amigo Scott, the Newfie, has internet at his
Mojon cabin, but it was slooooow when I tried it. Stay tuned…exciting times.
What else happened today?
No walk per se, but the lil’guy was taken for a stroll in his Cadillac of
strollers, and we went to DHL.
We had to wait a few
minutes and Max prowled the air conditioned oficina as we waited. He loves the
sillas, chairs, and went back and forth.
Our package was there and
there were a few phone calls to confirm if we owed any impuestos, taxes. And
ta-da…nothing owed!!
Max and I strolled through
centro on the way home, had our siesta and then it was time to open his primero
regalo and following that, a FT with his abuleos to show them how excited he
was!!
The often seen, but rarely captured on film, laugh and smile.
Fotos? On the "Eye Spy" quilt?
The awesome quilt was hand made by Max's Oma.
Muy curioso about the foto of himself y madre.
Max and all of his regalos.
After all the excitement, I rushed off to meet Roman
and the familia spent the afternoon together.
I hit up Che after my
cita…no scores unless you call all beef smokies a score!! Ja ja ja. Doph…no
real leche in stock. They might have received it later in the day and maybe
mañana we will check on the way home from a playa trip…if we make it there
after the race!!
Headed home, groceries
away and just in time to see Max wake up from a shorty of a siesta.
Madre? Pooped and she took
the well deserved siesta as the boys hit the pool. We were later joined by
madre and after some splashing and dunking, upstairs and time for the PM
rutina.
Great eats…who doesn’t
love hamburgers? And Max wolfed his back and then tina time and lights out
time. It has been over an hour…waaaaay overdue for a visit from padre…naaaah.
Some more fotos?
And from the morning stroll....
An abuela and her conejito mochila carrying nieta. They are selling tamales.
And from the mall, good to see the same types of humor occurs here as in Canada. The sign states bromas, jokes.
Let's see, there was a whoppie cushion, fake dog doo as well as garlic, chili and soap flavoured gums.
Mañana…the race, lomo
cerdo and time with the familia. Vida es buena!!
Have a great domingo!!
Marco, Bexico y Max
