Buenos tardes. As you can see, we do not need to go shopping for any more pan, bread.

Currently 4pm and with a mix of sunny and overcast skies, the familia is out at playa Entrega. Time to update you all...lots of fotos to follow.

A good night!! A few quick wake ups and a 620am final wake up. Usual AM rutinas and the boys had a fun morning.

The prowl was HOT!! Wow, you can really feel the humido, even at 7am. Only a few more weeks and the lluvia will come and help tone things down.

Max is a-ok, but I can see the heat sapping his energy as well, so we stay in the sombra and take lots of agua pit stops.

Compliment of the día? We were on the prowl and we came upon the CP's administrator, a large fellow named Ernesto. Max will always wave at him when he is in his oficina, but on the calle, Max has become a little timido.

So Ernesto and I chat up the fact that it is stinking hot (he weighs 140 kilos I bet) and that the CP grounds are muy tranquilo without anyone there. He said all the Chilangos and Canadians are gone and then I said "all but 3". He replied "naaaah, you are all Mexicanos!!".

We have been declared locals!! Ja ja ja

Home for libros y leche and then a tougher siesta time. The lil'man was tired, and he hates to sleep...not a good combination.

Madre worked her magic and after a 90 minuto siesta, it was time for play and then comida.

Stinking hot out, and I am still not 100%, but I wanted to at least make it to el gimnasio and have a light workout. Into the camioneta verde and it's a/c and off for 20 minutos on the bici and then 10 minutes of weights...and I was exhausted.

Home to drop off the camioneta to the familia, help load the lil'man into it and then a quick float in the CP alberca.

And that has been our day.

Appetites are coming back, energy taking a lot longer. Maybe tonight's rib eyes will help!!

Onto the fotos.

Watch this transformation...all that by asking to see "Silly Max".








Señor Nosy, checking out what is going on next door.


Hmmmm....



Blowing his madre a besito.




And then going wacky...pretending she is right in front of him...and he goes in for the kiss.


Note...we consider wacky as a good thing!!

Max wants to touch and look into everything!! Today we added a new "niños no tocar" sign to my oficina. Here, Max is ready to rewire the internet system of Huatulco.



The owners of the water slides have their logo plastered over so many carros. Here, they have "wrapped" a pick up truck, with a picture of the slides. Smiling Max (oh Max) is making sure I know he wants to go back to the slides.


Max pointing to where Poppa almost flew out of the water slide.


And to the top, where Max y Momma start...oh yes, the very top!!


Not too hot to become a monkey.





Don't mess with the Canadian niño with the bag of Cheerios y pasas!!


The Bird Whisperer?


Hasta mañana amigo.


Sad news? Some of you might recall this next foto.


On Monday past, this hombre was murdered near my gym. I do not know why, I just read about it in the local periodico, paper. It hits a little close to home, because even though we never knew each other's names, he always took time to wave to me or to Max and I. Sad day.

What, viernes already? We have the big race on domingo, and we are going to try and get to playa Mojon as well. Stay tuned.

Before we sign off...the weather stats!!

In April we had average highs of 33,1 grados and lows of 27,3. That compares to 32,3 and 26,4 from last year. We certainly felt the heat and the 21 days with humido (vs 7 days last year) sure added to the heat.

Mayo? Last year we had averages of 31,9 and 26,8 with 12 days of humido and 7 days that had some lluvia, starting on May 23. Stay tuned.

Happy May Day...not mayday.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
