Map of World - Click a place Brad's been

December 2020 - A month of Music, Guitar buy, Band practices, bday

 Join a band, buy a guitar, watch the stars and take a chance...now that's a great month!

Moved in to my 1 bedroom apartment at the beginning of the month.  Great price ($600 CAD) and everything I need.  I actually lived on this street before which is a 15min walk to the centre of town and only 5 min to beach. 



Love the kitchen set up

King bed


Settled in to my new place for at least the month and began living the beach town life...

My fav cheap and cheerful
"El Negro", 3 shrimp tacos
and a beer for $6USD

Love this little mosquito eater


Birthday yet again, happens every year.  This year I figured I should celebrate a little.

Pricey $18 cut and shave

Not too shavey

Cute

Love you Mom

Amazing Asado
by Leandro at Lalo's
And a little music too


Through my musician buddy Alan I bought a nice sounding Taylor GS Mini after he and Sebastian put on a show.  Always recommend buying a guitar off a Pro musician with the help of another Pro musician.  I paid full price for the great musician's travel guitar, stand, extra strings, fender cable installed mic, strap, travel case and one celebration beer (9500 pesos, $625 CAD).

Sebi playing his headless guitar.


Sebi and Alan jamming away.  I just watched...haha



A little guitar sample by moi.


Coco time.  Landlord Gerardo cut down a few coconuts for me and a few others in the building.  Really loving my time in this building.





Jam session at Lalo and Claudia's with a few musical stars from Montreal, Andrew and Lisa.



And finally Lalo's "El Toston" 50th birthday and NYE. A few DJ's including Lalo's son Gabo and a drunken jam around 4am after a few spots of rain finishing the night at 7am. 




Me, Michelle, Lalo, Katia

Ants are truly amazing creatures.  I could watch them all day.  Their scouts signal in reinforcements and they begin the clean up, recovery.  More amazing is that I have no idea where they come from, return to.

Sometimes it takes
them a bit to get 
going the right 
direction, but they
get there.
