Spotted prowling around hotel lobbies, sultry Max.

Buenos tardes!! With the familia headed out to one of the Palaces, with Max waving his Canadian y Mexican banderas from the bici, I will take this tranquilo time and start jotting down some notes from the día.

Early start...no surprise there, but curious why we had some 630am and 7am success and we are back to 5am and 530am. Hmmmm.

Usual early morning rutina, with Bex hanging con Max until 630am and then Poppa taking over. We had some tranquilo time and then off for a 2 hour plus prowl. Home for the huge desayunos and then some more tranquilo time before leche y siesta time.

I got in on some of the siesta time and post siesta, we all had some comida. I was then off to el gimnasio and then back here to the casa. The familia had a swim in the CP alberca and are now on the road.

Pretty straight forward día.

Onto the fotos.

Yes, it may be early morning, but not too early to check his stock portfolio!!


Happy with what he saw, Max and Hombre Araña are ready to prowl.





Well, now they are ready.


Pleased with himself for making the boys at the gate laugh, el Mayor starts his prowl.


And then quickly changes tactics on his pasa hunt.







Wonder from whom he gets the mouth gaping open look?



Prowl fotos.



Chinos are looking good Señor Max!!


Max wants a foto of the palomas, Max gets a foto of the palomas.


Oh yes, we lost Spiderman on our prowl. But after much back tracking, he was found at the papeleria, stationary store. Here, Spidey is hanging out at Poopie Loopie.



About to be rescued by Max.


Who looks a little concerned about the situation!!


Look who I bumped into as they were headed out to the Palace!! Bex and the bandera waving Mayor of Huatulco!!


As now found on our kitchen cupboard door. Max's teeth brushing star chart!! Only started today and he already has 2 stars...and no cavities!! Score!!


Misc tid-bits...we were on the AM prowl, passing the Corona truck as it was being unloaded. A Mexicano, en ingles, asks Max what his name was. The otro hombre, guy who works for Corona and doing all of the unloading, tells the hombre that his name is Max. Of course he did.

I made a pit stop into the doctor's oficina due to some crazy rash on my arm. Any who...I get into the waiting room, where everyone is always polite about who is next etc...no line jumping here.

It looks like a 20 minute wait and as I settle in a Dutchman from the CP says hola. We met him and his familia last year...nice peeps.

He leaves and then a senora starts chatting me up, starting the conversation with "¿tu es el padre de Max?". Of course she did.

We chatted for 10 minutes, with everyone in the waiting room looking and listening in as we worked through mi español. I knew things were going ok when they all smiled when I told a joke.

After 10 minutos, a couple more senoras came in and they too wanted to get in on the conversations. A bunch of old gallinas, old hens, we were chatting it up. They were smart peeps...they knew Canada was it's own country, but were interested that it had provinces and only one that was truly French and two that are "officially" bilingual.

Twenty minutes were up and I was into see the doctor. Good news...no need for amputations and she gave me a prescription (lol...there is no such thing as a prescription here) for some crema y tabletas and ta-da...it actually looks and feels a lot better. Heck, I should have done this 10 days ago!!

With only one day left until Fin de Año, we scored on some fuegos artificiales, fireworks!! And not the home made type that leave you spending hours cleaning the playa on New Years Day!! Oh mañana, it will be fun!!

As for the rest of the día, the familia returned from a muy tranquilo time at the Palace..no otro niños...huh? We had a quick dinner and I was blessed with a post-cena prowl con the lil'man. We went to Gabriel the Owls and Max put on his best show, wowing the peeps by being able to count to 10 en español, and singing the alphabet en ingles!!

Home for tina time and as I type, round 1 of bedtime is under way. Stay tuned for the Harry the Hormiga update!!

That's all mis amigos. Have a Buen Fin de Año...and a safe one too.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
