The Christmas Chronicles

S & I watched The Christmas Chronicles as M & JP head out this evening to watch the Ballet Forklorico in Castillo de Chapultapec. She enjoyed it and it was a great wrap up to Christmas 2023!

Yaounde

Early this month we put in our bids for our next posting. We heard back on Monday that we’re scheduled to head to Yaounde next! This was our top bid and we’re super excited! M also heard back on her CA-AEFM position. With all the NCC and NEC moves, the LNA and ConGen training, prepping for Yaounde and a few other things, next year’s going to be super busy and interesting. ...

Priceless CR2032

Sometime back S’s night light bulb fused out. I replaced it with a tiny flickering LED lamp but she wasn’t very impressed since the switch was super tiny. Went to Home depot today with her and bought a switch that she liked. Spent about half an hour together and came up with this ‘wireless’ night lamp. She absolutely loves how it looks!

Africam Safari

A terrific few hours in Africam Safari. Felt like we were transported to a sanctuary in Africa. Also saw a Tibetan Takin! So wild, so cool. The overcast weather made the experience even more enriching.

Forgotten Temple

Was on a 3 hour gaming spree yesterday after not having played for more than a week. Time well spent!

Lucha Libre

This was such a disappointment. S lost interest the moment she finished her popcorn and chips. M and I were done watching their theatrics in about twenty minutes. Definitely not recommending this to anybody we know!

S had a seemingly sudden meltdown on the way back from her roller skating class asking for a ‘Hello Kitty Donut’. She hopped off her bike and said she won’t ride it until we got her one that very instant. M told her we could talk about it once we’re home. The looming thunder clouds didn’t seem to budge her too. M seemed to have had a word with her and that somehow changed her mind - a bit. Finally she did succumb, however vehemently showing her immense dissatisfaction by bawling and walking her bike home. ...

Tlaloc

After a couple unusually warm weeks here in CDMX, looks like the monsoons have finally made their way here! Poured on the way back from work. Wet to the bones and absolutely loved it!

Breezy

Built out this cool scooter for S. Kinda neat how they’ve designed this - To turn, the rider needs to lean in the direction of the turn. Not sure if the kiddo will appreciate it. It sure did keep me busy for a couple hours!

Ciclovia Reforma

S has been thoroughly enjoying these Reforma Sundays. Over the last few weekends she’s scooter-ed till Sofitel and back. Today she wanted to do the ‘Three families bike ride’. Wanted to stop and get photos at her landmarks - The Panda, The archer’s fountain and the Angel Statue. She did ride around 7 miles totally! Betty - her bike needed constant refueling and the rider needed a breakfast fix - Bagel + Cream Cheese and Dragon fruit juice, on the way back. Lovely day to be outdoors! ...
