I think you can see by these photos that it was a very calm evening at the lake. Every evening the water is different. I never before realized that a lake can be just as interesting as the ocean. It is just slower to change. You have to be patient and observant, like those fishermen out in the water throwing their nets.
Hola from Oregon! Nice photos, glad you're happy in your home again, with Chico. One question: what is the (approximate) temperature of the lake right now? It must be somewhat warm, if they're standing in it up to their waists at sunset? Ok, another question: what is the name of the fish they are trying to catch - do you know the word in Spanish? Gracias!
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle, Thanks for writing. Sorry, I don't know the answer to either of your questions. I will stick my hand in the water next time I am down there and see if it is cold or not. Patricia
ReplyDeleteBlow up that kayak & get out there! Practice turning it 360 degrees once or twice ... then you'll know how warm/cold it is!
ReplyDeleteOtra pregunta, mi amiga: does anyone ever sunbathe on the lakeshore, or swim in the lake? Hey, even Katherine Hepburn swam in the canals while she was in Venis filming. Of course, she got a major ear infection which affected her hearing & which lasted the rest of her life. But, it doesn't look like that's a big issue in Lake Chapala. It's not full of debris, etc. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
Hi Gayle, Okay, okay, if I get someone to come out with me I will try the kayak. It isn't the right kind. It is actually for surfing in the ocean, but I will try it. Thank you for encouraging me. No I don't see people sunbathing. Mexicans seem to be smarter than that and the Americans and Canadians don't hang out around the lake much. I rarely see them at the lake. I see a lot of Mexican children swimming in the lake. It looks kind of dirty and people tell me that there are still barbed wire fences up since the time when there wasn't much water. I would hate to swim into one of those. Patricia
