Otra fun day here under the sun!!

Gimnasio and Mojon…not much to explain.

Fotos from the walk to el gimnasio.

The pottery hombre.


Tres fotos por mi madre.

WFSITBOTT?



Sewing machines and parts.

Next up, an otra tienda de telas (fabric).


Even in Mexico, ninos know who they love.



Camión de basura.


If you are a union type, you would love this job. Here in La Crucecita, they drive around in the truck and ring a bell. If you hear the bell, you run out of your home or oficina and throw your own basura into the camión.

And here is a talented senorita.


Not sure?


A big pile of sand in this front yard. The house is one level and on a 25’ x 25’ lot…why the sand?

I liked the design. These are proud peeps…what is their business?



Zapato...shoes.

The gimnasio was great…I have a group of amigos there and we work are way through all of our Spanglish conversations.

Today I worked with Francisco 2 on some posture during his ejercicio and he was quite appreciative. Had a laugh with Memo when I told him that en el interior I was 30 but 46 on the exterior…as I was pooped after some of my own ejercicio.

And then there was the broma…joke. Francisco 2 was asking me about blisters and calluses because he wanted to make a joke about his belly being a callus. (don’t ask)

But he kept pointing to calluses on his hands and all I said was “bromas de mal para los hombres”…bad joke for men…and Rosa almost keeled over laughing as Rosa turned rosa/rojo and Francisco took a minute to figure it out and then he too laughed.

Must be 40 degrees in there…but I enjoy the company!!

As for Mojon…an up and down day for the olas. It was high tide so the olas were not the best for surfing.



But the odd good wave came in…just too much waiting.


So we boogie boarded instead.


Miss Bexico on a good ride.

Today would have been ideal for the waterproof camera. I took a fairly large olas and managed to bail before it dropped me 15 feet. I then took the one behind it and managed to ride the 10 foot’er into shore.

But I also had my butt kicked by a 15-20 foot’er…I was slammed under water. Phew.

Here is a view of the current work being completed on the western hillside.


And here are two fotos showing the tracks of a sea turtle that has laid its eggs in the sand.



Not sure when this all occurred, but it was right in front of our property.

When not boarding, we read and chill-laxed…one of us snuck in a siesta.

Came home and was waved through Copalita. Pit stop at Che and for some reason I thought it was “bad food domingo” and bought us 2 soooo good donuts for 9 pesos (75 cents) total!! Ja ja ja

La cena…pollo con papas and Bexico finshed off the fajitas from anoche.

No big plans for mañana.

Bexico is in her oficina working hard and I know that she is planning the same for mañana.

We will head up to Oaxaca City proximo (next) miercoles as based on Mario’s feedback, we will see the city come alive on the weekend. Looking forward to the trip!!

Well…you are up to date.

Saludos

Marcos y Bexico

Buenos Noches!!! 830m here and I am blogging while watching the great peliculas, Lost in Translation starring Bill Murray. Funny stuff!!!

Click here for a link to info regarding the movie:


Not that much happened today, but Bexico did hear back from her Paris contract and has some clear direction on what is needed to finish that project. She is also hard at work on her rock video!!

Fun incident from last night!! I thought I felt a hormiga or a fly on my arm and when I looked down to see what it was, our amigo Bubba Gecko was on my arm giving me the once over. He is not shy!!

As for today, here are the fotos from our journies.

I see these trucks that have messages installed above their cabs.


The literal translation is Gift of God but it also means Godsend.

This is another example of a table being set up outside a door way and/or shop.


From this foto, I cannot tell what they are selling. But this next foto clears that up.


I took the foto because of the nino, but I noticed that on the table they have this piece of wood with holes in it. They insert the wooden sticks from both mangoes (see blog from ayer) and from some type of candy manzana (apple).

Here is a senorita I saw walking across the calle.


On the way home from the gimnasio, I saw this sign.


I looked up the words and the business includes welding and a lathe…and based on what I have seen, it is a lathe for metals.

This truck provides free assistance to vehicles in need.


It is similar to the Green Angels that roam the Mexican highways offering the same service.

Compliments of the Mexico Guru website, here is some info on the Green Angels.


I love the ninos in this foto!!


RJ…now you know the inspiration for my pelo (hair). Ja ja ja

The pepper hombre.


He has bought a large sack of peppers and is selling them…simply making a living.

And two of the boys from Gabriel the Owl jewelry store.


Sergio, who owns the shop with his madre, is on the right and the hombre on the left helps with the polishing of the pieces. Why the oufits? They are headed off to their weekly soccer game.

As for the actual day…gimnasio, a walk with Bexico (no movie mañana as there are no good ones in ingles), hola to the boys, some veggies
and then a very tarde (late) alberca time.

I was doing some online research into waterproof cameras and came upon these...check them out.


Cool eh?

Nothing earth shattering today so I will close this blog down for the day.

Mañana…Mojon.

Feliz Cumpleanos to Mubba y Jorge!!

Adios amigos.
