Morning Walk to Six Corners







I think this man had a little too much to drink but he was harmless.


The two above photos are of a small restaurant where I had a hot sandwich. It was delicious and cost me less than two dollars. It is at the six corners area.
I noticed on my walk through this Mexican neighborhood that there are small grocery stores on every block, sometimes two and three on every block. People live in the back of their stores. It is nice. In the neighborhood where I am living, La Floresta, it is a long walk to the grocery store. I like the Mexican neighborhoods. More people are out on the streets. People often sit on the sidewalks. The streets are very social.
There was a band at the six corners area when I arrived. And people in costumes. Maybe they were going to do a dance. I walked to this area from West Ajijic where I am still house sitting. I enjoyed my walk. So many interesting sites.
Another small restaurant in the six corners area.

This man had to much to drink too. I thought he was going to fall off his horse, but he stayed on. Maybe he has had a lot of experience riding in that condition.

I liked the colors of this little house.

I think the man in the photo above sits there all day long. Every time I pass his house he is out on the sidewalk enjoying the sunshine.


The local church. It was locked up so I couldn't go inside and take photos.

This man gave me his card. He speaks English and has a taxi service. We had an interesting chat.


Local buses come every fifteen minutes. Now why can't we have that kind of bus service in our small towns in the States? Poor people here have a much better quality of life than in the States because they can afford doctors and buses run often, and food is cheap. But I won't harp on this anymore. It just makes me sad that it is so hard to make it financially in the States these days.

Dancing horse. Fun to see on my morning walk.

Best friends.

Looks like an interesting restaurant in the above photo. I may check it out the next time I walk by it. There is a nice outdoor garden.

  3. When you take pictures of a specific area that you visit, would you also tell us where this area is located, in relations to a specific landmark or city. Where is Six Corners from Ajijic?

    1. Thank you for commenting. Six corners is a few blocks west of the Ajijic Plaza. You can walk to there easily from the Plaza and also the small local buses go through there. P
