  1. Two week totals…. Some spots over 24 inches.
  2. Los Buhos picnic …
  3. One thing not well discussed is the quality of Mexican wine. Much like Greece, they keep the wines in country. Cuna de Tierra is an absolutely fantastic winery, enjoying Dos Buhos as well with a day in the countryside after enjoying Mexican wines the last few weeks in the restaurants. The Malbec below beat out Spanish wines in a Spanish wine festival. The Nebbiolo below was out of this world. We’ve been blown away at how good their wines are.

  11. Snoozer watching me watch a tape delay of Wimbledon.
  12. I loved little league even coached it but I bugged outta soccer as quickly as I could convince them. That and Disney world were the two things I dreaded about young kids the most
  13. I was like what? No. I mean yes, I mean no. Fuck it, what happened ??!?
  14. Oh and there’s a Waldorf being built down the street from the Rosewood, includes residences.
  15. Belmond >>>>> Rosewood
  16. Belmond roof top tonight, a speakeasy actually. You go to the hotel ask for the roof top they act like they can’t help you then they walk you two blocks down and unlock a door on the street and through a hotel garden and to the roof. food was great, fried pork dumplings, tuna tartare, hot wings lol, mushrooms with potatoes, avocado puree, corn puree and chipotle mayo, Peruvian chocolate cake, and a to DIE FOR Mexican Can Franc.

    Tennis Thread

    We’ve played clay in Colorado and now Mexico it’s great. There’s a def grind to it in competitive tennis and the ball can bounce funny for sure but I’d play clay exclusively if our club had it. Westwood has a handful of clay courts, Austin tennis academy too (Spanish oaks). Don’t know about Austin country club, but no public courts. We are going to check out the bougie courts just outside of town tomorrow.

    Tennis Thread

    So I still prefer singles but that might be changing. I’ve been devoting 15-20% of my practice to doubles skills and doubles theory/strategy. Recently I shifted from focusing on my shots to focusing on court positioning first even moreso than singles. Follow the ball is an easy thing to say but once it clicks and the spot to be becomes automatic all of a sudden the ball comes to you or they hit a great winning shot. I really feel like my doubles game is rapidly accelerating based on this change in focus and perspective. we are in San Miguel de Allende and playing lots of tennis for a few weeks. I’m all of a sudden 6-1 in doubles sets. Today I was the only player on the court undefeated. It’s an incredible feeling. Winning is pure happiness. I remember when I was winning at 3.5 and the last 2-3 years at 4.0 have been a total slog to gain traction and experience but man what a feeling. It’s strange but athletic competition brings real meaning a depth of purpose and it’s just rec league for fun. Amazing really. here are our courts. Purely Mexican in appearance and in hospitality. The court owners are amazing folks.
  19. Pretty sure new viruses breed in those campgrounds. But we’ve been before staying in airbnbs and loved the music.
  20. Rosewood view food was ok but the kids wanted to go back for a Fourth of July buffet and it was surprisingly good.
  21. Miscellaneous street pics mostly el centro at least one is San Antonio and one is Guadalupe hoods
  22. Pics from a street art walk in the Guadalupe neighborhood. The pistachio pastry roll at Bakery Sucre was so good!
  23. We also ended up finding our gym and tennis community. Courts are pure Mexico but so is the hospitality, we are already friends with the owners.
  24. Hanks New Orleans happy hour / taco Tuesday is a happening gringo spot. Food was meh but the atmosphere was hopping. zumo roof top was great, views great didn’t snap a pic of the Parroquia not sure why, no food pics either. The guac with pork belly was great, I had the short rib sopes very good.
