The Adventures of Bexico, Bubba y Max

Remind me to NEVER boast about cooler weather. What was cool ayer, is blistering hot today. How about 35,0 grados y 65% humido? Oh about 50,0 grados. Yikes.

Bex y Max went out in that heat and upon their return, I have never seen Bex that drenched before.

Enough about the heat.

Max was up waaaay early…rumor has it some snoring kept 2 peeps up last night. Doph.

I took the early one but wow was it near impossible to keep the ojos open and that can be peligroso with the il’hombre around.

Some cuna time and some Play Palace time while padre tried to get himself arranged. It did not work. We both headed off for the first nap and 1 hour and 40 minutes later, we exited the chest nap room and found madre had been eagerly awaiting our arrival.

We tagged off and after some huevos revueltos para desayunos, I went about cleaning the condo and Bex y Max took their walk. They had no luck on the book tent…it was being packed up, but they came back with a huge load of fresh fruta y verdura.

As I cleaned the condo, I lost 2 litros of water just from sweating. But after that it was time to clean myself up and hit el gimnasio.

Even the Mexicanos were sweating at the gym and on the way home, stopped at the tiangus to grab a few more muscle shirst for the lil’hombre. Four for $100 pesos…score!!

And with the dollar doing so well, that makes 4 shirts cost only $7.53 Cdn.

Came home just in time to see Max head off for another nap, so I puttered around and 40 minutes or so later, we all hit the alberca.

No viento and no sol, but the temperature was perfect. A good swim and then up to the condo. Max was not his normal cool and calm self, tiempo para un otra siesta!!

Max slept, we ate la cena…jambalaya. Truly Mexican…ok, the chorizo was Mexican and the red pepper y cebollo were grown here!!

Gently woke Max up and gave him his rutina and at 820pm, fingers are crossed that the two of them are having success in the sleep room!!

Success…with a little negotiating I am told!!

Mojon? Have some numbers from Roman…we need to do some number crunching. Stay tuned.

Bexico update? Busy every night for many hours and working hard. She has 4 clients but is currently doing work for only 2 of them. But she is busy enough and keeps getting requests to interview for new clients. All great!!

Fotos.

Here are two more examples of peeps that did not take the mandatory business clase before opening.

The tienda de abarrote lasted 3 meses.

And this restaurante lasted maybe 2. Doph.

And look who I bumped into on the way to the gym.

Daniel lives somewhere in the neighborhood.

They DO sweep up the neighborhood...once in a while.

This calle has been closed off for an event of some sort.

Best to be prepared and good thing they had the tent as the weather changed.

Dark skies above the montaña, but no rain, only some thunder.

Mañana? No sé…but I do know the race is on domingo at 5pm…and Max and I might even watch the Indy 500 at 11am.

Last foto of the day.

Look what I found when I came home from el gimnasio.

Someone had his first taste at feeding himself...and the floor...and his clothes...and madre...and that called for a sink bath!!

Buen fin de semana!!

Marco, Bexico y Max

What a great day!!

Lots of viento has kept it cooler then only a few days ago. Our high ayer was only 32,5 grados, down a full 3 degrees from martes!!

No rain in the past few (or is that 2?) days, but that may change with

Hurricane Bud headed to the Mexican Pacific coast. Currently the hurricane is way norte of us, but the season has arrived. Stay tuned.

Today Max was up at 645am…and so was I!! ja ja ja

We had a fun two hours, which included some peaches and apples and then it was nap time…make that chest nap time. We both grabbed 40 minutes of shut eye and then off for our walk.

A great walk as it was cooler and while sitting in the zocalo, who parks their camioneta and comes in to talk with us? Amy y Victor from Vitel. Fifteen minutes later, and after each of them held Max, off they went…back to work. Good guys, both of them.

And then a quick hola to the early crew at Gabriels and then off to the tienda next to Fruver so we could pick up some plátanos.

We buy 99% of our fuita y verdura at Fruver, but normalmente we find better bananas next door. Today, they were softer then we like and were about to leave when one of the workers recognized us and asked if we were looking for “mas duro”…harder. Sí and off he went to his cooler and brought some out for us.

We said gracias and then he said hola to Max, of course he knows his name. Then when it comes time to pay, he mentions to a new’ish caja, that we do not need a bolsa, because this same hombre knows we are trying to be eco friendly.

We are going to LOVE living at Mojon, and already envision rides into La Crucecita on our scooter, saying hola to all of our amigos. But…we will miss the easy walks and the convenience of having almost everything we need, right outside the front gates.

Came home, woke up madre and huh…Max was not thirsty? Ahhhh, he just need a few minutes of relax time and then it was boobie time.

I left the 2 chalupies to their thing and I hit el gimnasio…a good workout and some laughs with both Hector y Jhanhet.

I decided to take the long way home and stop off at Jesica’s and grab some foam floor mats for the lil’crawler. As I was leaving el gimnaiso, I said to myself…”I wonder where Tony is?”, as I have seen him drive by many times. He lives near the gym and goes back and forth from his padre’s garage.

Moments later…ta da.

We chatted it up and he apologized for missing getting together on sábado. Huh? Any way, he was triste as he lost a prima, a cousin and that is why he had not made it to an event that I was not even aware of existing. But…maybe this weekend he will come over with his familia and we will share some pool time con Max.

Grabbed the mat at Jesica…poco caro, but what ever it takes to keep our hijo safe while he is learning to crawl and walk. Our living room has truly become the Play Palace…it will be good to get Max his own play room!!

Home and then the familia loaded up and hit Che. No big scores, but we are set for the next few days.

Back home, another nap for Max and I grabbed a half hour in the sun…might be the last time during rainy season!! I was joined by the familia and as I entered the alberca, an abuela wanted to hold Max.

Ok…but a minute later I could tell that he had enough…saved the situation and off we went for our floats and dunks. The lil’hijo gusta mucha nadar!!

And then all of a sudden, it is time to head up for the night time rutina. It went off without a hitch and madre worked her magic for the 4^th time today and Max was lights out!!

915pm…madre is sucked into a movie for only a few minutes…or is it? Ja ja ja.

Fotos?

These are from the walk with Max, and my walk to and from el gimnasio.

Who knew the friendly "over drinker" was a bombero?

Betto...a great hombre and niños LOVE him and his silliness. We call him tío Betto and he gives Max un beso everytime they see each other.

Here is Betto with the hijo of a hombre who works next to the restaurante Betto works in.
