My Afternoon at the Real de Chapala Hotel

I managed to walk all the way to the Real de Chapala Hotel today without a cane. I walked very slowly and took photos all along the way. I was the only customer at the restaurant. The waiters were all standing around just talking. They were nice to me and let me sit by the pool when I ordered my hamburger.  I took photos of the grounds and walked home. It was peaceful. As I sat there looking out on the lake, I thought of how I felt when I was stuck at home in bed during the previous three months. And I remembered telling myself how happy I would be when I could get out again. And I WAS very happy today. It was a special treat for me. The waiters all know me now and I feel like an important guest when I go there. I asked one of the waiters to take a photo of me and then I took one of him.  I told myself I was going to start a diet today. Instead I ordered a hamburger and a coke. No need to spoil a special day with a diet. I will diet tomorrow..... 

This is Alicia's Board and Care Home. Nice Place. Two blocks from my casita.

The road I live on. Looks like they are having a good day too.

They painted my favorite house purple. It was blue. Both colors looked good.

The Yacht Club, three blocks from my casita

It was a beautiful afternoon. Not bad for an unplanned day by myself. I am happy just to be able to walk again, even though it is a slow walk and it still hurts. Maybe one day soon I will be walking all over town again. But for now, I am pleased to be living on such a beautiful street and close to the Real de Chapala Hotel.
