BACK IN AJIJIC


Here we are again in Paradise. We arrived Februay 1st and met the owners of the house we have rented. They showed us around and were very friendly and helpful. This house is hacienda style, an open concept, with a garden in the middle. Of course, from the street it looks like nothing. The decor is very tasteful, the kitchen is terrific (as if we really cared, but we are doing some cooking). There are lots of flowers and plants and even a fountain in the middle of the garden.

We have friends staying with us now and we are happy that they seem to be enjoying the town and the atmosphere as much as we do. We try not to eat out every day but we are sampling some of the excellent restaurants that are here.

We have visited the tianguis (outdoor market). It is here every Wednesday and in Chapala on Fridays. They have almost everything that you might need and a lot of stuff you just have to exclaim about. All the fruits and vegetables you could want.
We have been deprived of seeing parades so far and look forward to next Sunday. We have signed up for a tour of the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary near Morelos for next week. The week after I have 4 days of painting with Efren Gonzales. I am really looking forward to that. Others of our friends are going on day tours to Guadalajara and around the lake. Enough for now, I'll keep you updated on our adventures in beautiful Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico.
