To get one of these fotos...


You often get one of these too!!


Oh Max!!

Buenos noches!! A late noche due to the fun but windy, afternoon at Mojon, and then we had a little extra work getting the little man to fall asleep tonight. A little extra? Madre had to come in and relieve The Whisperer...doph!! Gracias madre!!

The day? A sleep in...score, tranquilo time, huge desayunos, prowl, leche, siesta, comida and then onto Mojon and of course, it was burrito miercoles!!

Fun afternoon...Max LOVED the olas today!! It was a mix of sol y nubes, and with a strong wind, it was not very hot out. Score!! It did make the bbq interesting, but it worked and we had a good dinner.

We headed home for the clean up and it was go go go time. It took almost 90 minutos to get the lil'guy asleep...argh...but we have not had a night like that in quite a while.

And at 930pm, you are all caught up. So....

Onto the fotos and the first one is Max's new gorra.


That was the Kleenex gorra.

Onto some cooking and while eating our plato de fruta, Max was helping cook the molida res for tonight's burritos on the playa.


After a few cocktails, Max starts talking to his "amigo".


And then pretends nothing "happened". Oh Max.


The Mayor, on his perch, is intentionally ignoring this senorita, who at first was calling him güero, and then started using his nombre.


Adios senorita.


Max deciding which naranja he needs to move to make all the oranges fall. Oh Max.


Lección de español. See, learning Spanish is not that hard!!


Except I am still not 100% sure what impresiones (keys?) or engaggolados (posters?) means? Stay tuned.

Face to face with the ferocious perro. Naaah....muy amable.


Having eaten a huge desayunos, Max then wanted some piña, and when that was finished...he started looking for more!!




Poppa...mas piña?


The Mayor made $40 pesos on this foto shoot.


Uh....what are you doing with Pedro Pollo?


Misc fotos from yesterday's walk to el gimnasio.

Want to get confused? Check out the address painted on this casa.


The calle is Playa Huatulco and the address is Manzana (apple?) 25, Lote 14.

Smart peeps here!! They have the big camion full of naranjas y sandias, using their kids to wheel them around town selling the frutas. The wised up and have rented a vacant lot and are selling the products and juices there. Maybe the niños are now going to school...here's hoping!!


Mango, currently NOT Max's favorito, is back in fashion.


That's all mis amigos.

Hasta mañana!!

Thanks for reading the blog, y adios!!

Hello cutie Max!!

Buenos noches!! All tranquilo here in Huatulco, with Max asleep (after mentioning every food item he knows)...doph, spoke too soon. Max just had a bad dream and needed some Poppa time. All good...a little singing and he is back to lights out.

Bex has lots on the go...keeping busy every noche. Me? I had an email from someone I worked with 10 plus years ago, asking if I was interested in doing some consulting work. I will browse through the info they sent, and see if it is something I can do. The big question remains...how would this affect my prowls with Max? Ja ja ja

Not much to report from here. We had a good sleep and another early wake up. Usual rutinas of videos, tranquilo time, desayunos and then onto our Che run.

There was a score at Che...we found some more cheddar cheese!! Just in time as we were running out...phew. But the best part of the Che run was how well Max behaved. Che is always fun, but keeping track of Max can be challenging...but not today!! And of course, we let him know how well behaved he was.

Home for leche and a good siesta and then onto the afternoon rutinas. Comida for all and then I was off to the gym and then home to putter around.

The familia headed off to a palacio, fotos to follow, and then came home for a familia swim...score!!

A fun swim and then Max y Bex went off to see the doctor...Max has a few bug bites as well as some nasty looking "marks" that we know from experience, are caused by bugs (?) on the playa or in del mar.

There was some itching, and they look nasty, so we just wanted to make sure we were using the right creams etc.

Home for some oh so yummy chops and then onto our PM rutina. Clean up, dance party, tina time, FT con Oma y Opa, and then off to bedtime.

No prowl...no fotos. But...madre brought the crappy Sony DSC W730 with them to the palacio, and here are the best of the lot.

Pre-palacio "Max drive" as he calls it.


And then a little snack before play time...he will need it!!


And then from across the room...their ojos met.


Bex says she was a niña, a few months older then Max, but with the same type of personality. Watch out for the tongue!!

Looks like puppy love to me!!





Want to meet my caballo?


And then they rode off into the sunset?


Chill'laxing!!


Oh oh...trouble in paradise?


Up...


up...


and away!! Yikes!!


And after all that hard work, the post palacio "Max drive".


Ok, you are all caught up. Mañana? Off to playa Mojon for Bubba burritos!!

Have a great miercoles y hasta mañana!!

Marco, Bexico y Max
