I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

My trusty dictionary says de aca para alla (accent marks on the 2nd "a" in aca and alla; I need to learn to type accents on my keyboard, but I,m lazy
about this. Please excuse me :rolleyes . For throwing a ball you could use uno
a otro, one to another. Aca pa' alla would be more place to place.

Oops! Also please excuse the word rolleyes by my smilie face. As a humble newbie, I hope to someday figure out how to make a respectable looking
post! Don keeps showing me things very patiently, but I'm a computer klutz!

Laying in the palapa's hammock one afternoon...
...I watched the large, brown spider crawl back and forth beneath the eaves as it constructed it's latest insect trap.

Spider....back and forth
Mexray...beautiful...simply 'Baja'...back and forth endlessly.
probably too Espanolish and not enough Mexicano:
'El poner en la hamaca de los palapa una tarde... ...I mir? el arrastre grande, marr?n de la ara?a hacia adelante y hacia atr?s debajo de los aleros
mientras que lo construy? es la trampa m?s ?ltima del insecto.'

Roger,
...I see you're up with the Pelicanos this morning...thanks for the translation!
I've got to get out my tanning lamp so I can turn 'tan' with envy, as I read of all you Nomad's there on the beach, living another 'crappy' day in
paradise!
We'll be down to join you about the 20th of March...can't wait...now where did I put my flip-flops, oops, left em' outside and will have to scrape the
ice off and thaw em' out first!
