Winter of 2015 in MX ( Jan 10 )

Same old start to the day... nothing like  a meeting of the "Minds " to get the day started. Today it was Elia with the most to add to the subject at hand. Now, Elai is from FT. Steele and is/was a Rancher and was also involved with Logging mainly as an heavy Equipment  operator from what I can gather. He is well versed in the operation and maintenance of all internal combustion engine. He drive a Dodge.
Today for some reason we got on to the subject of different segments of the population and little did we know the Elia is well versed on Police , Teachers, Politian's and CEOs of any large company. It hard to imagine just how much knowledge one person  can obtain from working as a Rancher and a Logger. This just proves that going to University is a waste of time and money. ha ha .
Today at 9 AM we volunteered  to take our friends to the Airport (Aeropuorto ) in PV ( 65 km ) as they were flying to Vancouver for a few days. One would think that going 65 KM would be, maybe a 2 hour round trip. Not in MX. If you are going to PV you may as well go to Costco, if you can find it. I  do no were it is located; it's the dam street I can't find easily. The marker is the Krystal Hotel and you have to immediately enter the right lateral at the hotel  to make a left turn to enter the street to Costco (only in MX ) but if you miss the off ramp, too bad you have to try again at the next off ramp. Yes.. I miss the Dam off ramp.
Finally we got to Costco and amazingly its' layout is exactly like the ones in N.A. So we meandered around looking  at the different thinks they have here and also picking up some goods. It is Americanized , in that you can buy wine and Booze right in the store but not until noon on Sunday.
We shop at Costco about once every two weeks and seldom see anyone we know. While shopping in PV we met the couple we drove down here with, amazing.
While heading home Carroll decided that we should stop for lunch at a place we have never been to before so here we go trying to find " Marios" or maybe it is "Marcos" or is it  " Marasinos" , well it sound like that. I drove by the place 3 times until we realized the dam sign was partially hidden by a tree branch. Finally I parked in a  neighboring restaurant walk back to Marcisio. The food was good and the beer was cold.
Now we were heading home but had to stop at the Mega store ( MX Wal-Mart) to pick up some meat as it is cheaper than Costco.
We arrive home about 4:30 , just in time for Happy Hour. Also we are invited for Turkey Soup supper at 6 PM with friends. The Turkey was left-over from a previous dinner.
Now that is how you Kill a day in MX. cheers
