Checking out Ajijic

This morning, I met Rich and Sue for breakfast at the Laguna B&B, where they are staying. I still had Lauri's car, and she found us there during breakfast. She was feeling much better. We were now on foot.

After breakfast, we strolled the streets and ended up in her gallery, Galeria Dos Lunas, and she swung in and out while we were there. Here are some pictures of our day.

This is a very common site of a cowboy on horseback. Here a vaquero (cowboy) is taking his children for a ride through the streets of Ajijic. They were kind enough to pose for us in front of the lake.

View of Lake Chapala.

We visited the La Nueva Posada Hotel, which sits on the shore of Lake Chapala. Rich and Sue are checking out 2 HUGE parrots. They were beautiful, but the cage could have been bigger.

Sue, our tour guide (hee hee), pointing out the sites. She keeps us entertained. I love her for that!

This is a mural on a building near the park on Colon, the main street through Ajijic to the water. This is hand painted and amazing. Colon is a one way street, barely wide enough for 2 cars. One side is for parking and the other is to skim by.

We started getting hungry about 1:30 p.m., so we took a bus for 5 pesos (35 cents) from Ajijic to Chula Vista, where I live and had lunch.

This fabulous meal was my lunch! We went to Tony's, a little restaurant next to a meat market. Tony owns the meat market, so you know the meat is tops. I had BBQ Ribs and all the trimmings for 95 pesos ($6.64 US) and 2 cervezas (beers) for 17 pesos each ($1.20 US). The meat literally fell off the bone! Rich had lamb, which Tony only grills on Sundays, and Sue had skirt steak, which was mouth watering tender. The lamb was excellent too. We all had to try each other's lunch.

From here, we walked to my house, which was about a 10 minute walk. I gave them a tour, Sue took a quick nap, and they left to take the bus back to their hotel. I'm looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow!
