| Doug, Helen and Elva in Hotel Nueva Posada |
This little town is so clean and the air is clear. We love it here. Lake Chapala is low again this year but we found out that the threat of Guadalajara siphoning water out of the lake is no more. Last year there was a big protest against that happening. Glad to hear they won - for now. Of course, the restaurants come and go but some of our favorites are still in operation. I am sure that I have written about the people here before. They are all so friendly whether they are Canadians, Americans or Mexicans. Always say "buenos dias" etc. Thank goodness that hasn't changed.
On Wednesday we went to the Tianguis (outdoor market). It is wonderfully crowded with all kinds of people buying and selling. You can buy everything from fish to flowers, vegetables and fruit in abundance, nuts and candy, jewelry and pottery. I really wanted to buy a watch but will wait until next week. I don't really need to know the exact time right now.
We walked for about 3 hours and came back and took a siesta. For some reason, I was a little tired. We are at a high altitude and it takes a day or so to acclimate. The siesta was refreshing and we met D & H for snacks and happy hour. We had dinner at the hotel yesterday and it was delicious. We are trying to eat only two meals a day and make dinner light. (Wish us luck on that.)
Today we looked at a rental house in the Villa Nova area - a longer walk to the plaza than I wanted but it was huge - 3 bedrooms - 4 bathrooms - upstairs - downstairs - mirador. We would be rattling around in it. Then we saw another and it was just right BUT she is showing it to a couple who want to rent for 3 months and if they take it we are back in the market. No worries - we'll find something.
Tonight we have happy hour with Malcolm and perhaps wll be able to meet our friend Inez for dinner.
Adios Amigas,
