Daydream believer!!

Buenos tardes!! All groovy here in Huatulco. The familia is in the CP alberca, having themselves a lil'swim date with Max's amigas Danica y Mika. Currently 420pm and I expect to see them in 45 minutos or so for leche and then hola hola to the chuletas de cerdo.

The día? A good noche...starting with the best bed time in a week or more. Asleep in his cuna by 815pm and then with only one or two wake ups, up for good at 545am. Looks like 9.5 hours is what Max will sleep...put him to bed at 10pm? Ja ja ja

The usual morning rutinas for the boys, but Max was not into videos this morning, so that meant Poppa was not into snoozing. Oh Max!!

Onto tranquilo time, the huge desayunos and a good bici tour. A long ride to Jessic to grab a mop, onto the zocalo and then into SCA for some pan y garbonzo beans, and then home for the leche libros y siesta.

Lights out at 1115am or so, but sitting straight up (still asleep I think) at noon. Doph. Into Poppa's lap and we both slept until just after 1pm...score!!!

Post siesta I was off to el gimnasio and once home I did a lil'clean up before taking a dip in the pool and saying hola hola to Max and all his amigas.

The familia headed out to Poopie Loopie for some molida res and I guess they cooked that up for their comida. Some tranquilo time and Max was getting pretty excited about his novia coming over and they headed to the alberca at 3pm.

And how warm is it right now?


Overcast...32,0 and only, yes only, feeling like 46,0!!

All caught up...onto the fotos.

It only took 3 fotos to get Max to look into the camera.




And if he keeps doping it, take another foto!!


Having spotted his madre in the bedroom window, hola hola to one very passionate beso.






He ends it like a rock star, eh?


Safety first!! Checking for trafíco.



And like the good niño that he is, waiting at the top of the rampa.


Three fotos...no luck getting him to look into the camera.




Poppa sits in sombra and sends Max on a mission!!


Around the arbol and back...twice por favor!!


Who knew we would find a ventilador de pedestal that matched Max's bici gear?



Hmmm...what does this senale mean?


Hee hee hee...no bicis!!


A shorter stay at el gimnasio as there was a nasty smell being caused by this...right across the calle from el gimnasio.


And look who I spotted heading out to the CP alberca!! Super Abs y Chico Amigo.


Ok, onto cooking la cena. I will finish this off esta noche.

Hasta pronto!!

Buenos noches!! A successful end of the day...well we still have bed time to go...doph. The familia had a pre-cena prowl and came back pooped from the heat and trampolina (?). Onto la cena and we have figured out how to ensure Max eats his veggies...cover them with gravy!!

We have run out of my #1 cooking spice, Hys Cajun, and so I made some gravy for the chuletas. Pour that on Max's plato and he ate everything and was ready to lick the plate.

Clean up and then out for a long bici tour, hola hola to a few peeps and a few amigos as well.

Home for tina time and the libros y leche is occurring right now. Wish us luck with bed time!!

And that was our lunes.


Mañana....Happy Canada Day from the lil'man, Bubba y Bexico!!

Hasta mañana.

And that tells you what kind of weather we encountered before heading out for pour morning prowl. Note the Mexico playera under the capa...listo for the partido!!

But...a rainy morning is a great time to stop in at Los Portales and have some pancakes y tocino!!

Buenos tardes. With the lil'man fast asleep, probably dreaming about his bici, it is time to jot down a few notes.

A wacky bed time last night....argh. After 30 minutos con madre, Max and Poppa hung out for 10 minutos before he was plopped into his cuna. And then over the next 35 minutos he tried to fall asleep...with no success. So into my arms, 2 minutos of rocking and he was plopped back into his cuna...lights out.

Argh....but he is just a lil'guy.

A pretty good noche with only 2 wake ups, including one with some talking in his sleep...it seems to run in the familia!!

Up for good at 555am and after leche, it was time for videos on the iPad. Already 630am and I have set the iPad alarm for 710am...a great little 40 minuto snooze for Poppa...except Max turned off the alarma when it went off and forgot to wake his Poppa. Oh Max.

So after an one hour snooze, oh Poppa, time to get the Palacio set up (window bars put back in after last night's rain) and then onto the tranquilo time and desayunos. No cereal today...we will eat our grains in the hotcake form!! Score!!

Quite wet when we started the prowl, but it tapered off during hotcake time and after we said hola hola to el Gato, Polly, we didn't need Max's capa or the paraguas. Getting warm y humido...yikes.

UPDATE....all quiet on the calles in Huatulco as the Dutch have tied it 1-1 in the 88th minute.

Post prowl it was onto the leche, libros y siesta...and that is el día so far. So onto the fotos we go.

Too wet for the camera today, but here are the fotos from ayer at playa Mojon.

Lush y verde.


A few Max fotos taken on the crappy Sony DSC W730.



Quite a bit of sand at this end of the playa.


A little rocky over here...and what up with all the turkey buzzards?


One of our water wells...1.5 rings exposed.


And on May 18 it was 2.25 rings exposed. Lots of sand has washed ashore.


Keeping their ojos on their comida. The last time we saw them buzzards, there was a large sea turtle that had washed ashore. Peee-u.


Ayer, it was just a small fish. Not sure if that would be called a chico pescado o pescadito. Hmmmm?


At Roman's, the boys settled in for some chelas.


Max tambien.


This 1/2 size Olímpico alberca is nice. It has a looooong story behind its creation and I am not 100% sure about it's business plan.


Having won the race, Max is about to climb the #1 pedestal.


What? Bonus fotos from the crappy Sony DSC W730 camera? It actually takes ok fotos on bright days...as long as the subject does not move.

A tranquilo afternoon at playa Santa Cruz.


Max LOVES this orange truck and it is a playa favorite of his.




And he loves jumping too.




Selfie.


Back home, Max shows off his new tiburón necklace.


Misc...and so there I was last night, sitting on the banco watching segments of the PVR'd race. Due to the storm, we had lost the signale a few times, and the race jumped from lap 20 to 25, I watched a few more laps and then it jumped to lap 50.

And then the PVR re-booted itself. No problem I says to myself...until it comes back on EXACTLY at the moment that shows the race live...and who won it. Are you kidding me? Oh well...congrats to Brad K and I will watch the rest of the race this afternoon, with a little less excitement.

Sad times for all of Mexico as they have lost to the Dutch in extra time. Thank goodness for the Mexicanos that beer here is soooo cheap.

Ok, Max is awake and baking muffins with madre and I am going to watch the race.

I will finish this off esta noche.

Hasta pronto.

Buenos tardes!! A tranquilo afternoon here in Huatulco. Post muffins, the familia ate their comida and then were off to playa Chahue and returned to the CP at 445pm...off for a dip in the alberca.

I watched the Nascar race...big sorpresa who won...then the end of the movie Bullitt (now a days, who finds the time to watch a complete movie in one sitting?), and then the end of a Indy car race. Busy afternoon.

I managed to get the casa cleaned and the pollo muslo in the horno and then we had a delicious 530pm cena.

Some dessert, a quick FT con Opa and then off for a friggin warm bici tour with the familia. How warm?

Not hating (ok maybe a little), just stating....


Only, yes only, 28,0 grados...no viento...79% humido...feeling like 40,0. Hot hot hot.

Home for tina time and as I type, leche y libros is happening. Hoping for a better bed time than last night...buen suerte.

You are all caught up. Felicidades to Holland...lots of sad looking Mexicanos out there tonight.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
