Buenos noches, we hope your jueves was a successful one…even if that meant drinking a Hefe without Bubba!!
Nothing earth shattering here…but Rosa was a little blue today. I’ll see if I can cheer her up mañana!!
Here is a tid bitt (hee x3) of info regarding Mexico, from Yahoo.com
In other data, the average Mexican had 8.6 years of schooling in 2010, compared to 6.5 years in 1990. About 84 per cent of Mexicans listed themselves as Catholic in 2010, down from 89.7 per cent in 1990.
Most Mexicans — 59.5 per cent — received salaries of $15 per day or less, and 38.7 per cent were paid $10 per day or less. While the vast majority of Mexicans have basic services and access to some form of health care, only 21.3 per cent of households have internet and 29.4 per cent have computers.
Interesting info and sheds some light on the state of the country we have called home.
Fotos from my walk to the gimnasio.
Interesting bark on this tree.
The comings and goings of two hard working hombres.
The one that was “going” ended up here.
He pulled in for mas hielo...more ice.
The chair guys are back.
As for this vehicle…
It was driving around the industrial section of town, blaring something out of the speaker on its roof. As for what was being said…imagine the old school McDonald’s drive thru speakers. I could not understand a single word!! Ja ja ja
Other then Rosa being blue, the gimnasio was tranquilo and my personal workout was not the best. Hotter then h.e. double hockey sticks, and the energy level was bajo (low).
So, pack up and headed home.
Antes a walk around town, I managed to have an iCatch up with mi amiga HK in TO. Good to put face to the name once in a while…it was a nice chat.
Bexico and I had our walk, picking up some fresh pan and more mil isla dressing. One bottle of 1000 island…$1.50 Cdn.
Here are a few fotos from that walk which was at around 3pm.
Many businesses operate with those hours and the 2 hour siesta break.
Just two paleta salesmen discussing business.
And last but not least, the camión you do not want visiting your casa.
La Crucecita's hearse.
During the walk we went to the tienda de telas to look for canvas for Bexico’s painting. We think we found it and were told it is called “manta” (?) and sells for $45 pesos por uno metro…cheap!!
Now all we need to do is find someone to make us some frames!!
Some good alberca time…Moe and espousa have returned after the birth of their first nieto (grandson). Moe is one of the good guys around the pool.
La cena was some leftover pollo y papas para Bexico, and I had the world famous pasta con carne molida de res.
Misc

Mañana…Bexico is working all day on her contracts…and I will make up for today’s lethargic work out!!
Hasta luego.
