The children above wanted to ride on the mechanical cars. I paid for their rides, two pesos a ride, and they were so happy. I wanted to take photos of their smiles but unfortunately my camera batteries went dead. I forgot to put extra ones in my little purse. A lost photo op.....
There is a very large blank wall on the way into Chapala from Ajijic. One mural is now going up and I bet there will be more plus all the graffiti.
Above is the thermal pool.
Above is the larger swimming pool. It isn't heated but the temperature is fine now. Perfect for swimming. You can use both pools here for the day if you pay 90 pesos. Today I was the only one around.
The seven above photos were taken at the MonteCarlo hotel in Chapala. The grounds are beautiful. I didn't check out the prices but their web address is

My friend is coming to visit me at the end of the week so I went looking for a pool were we could swim. I found two at the Hotel MonteCarlo but then I went on the the public pool in the park in Chapala. I had been in it once in the winter and it was too cold. Today it was perfect. No batteries in my camera but tomorrow I will take photos. It is a beautiful pool and I was the only one swimming..... When I left for town I realized I forgot my money. I only had four dollars with me. With this amount of money I paid for my bus trip to Chapala and back, the pool entrance fee, and a great sandwich, plus the mechanical rides for the children. I love Mexico.
The above photo is inside the pool area. I don't know what this is for, maybe shade.
The kitchen. It faces the courtyard and you can watch your breakfast being cooked. The food was good and I was served quickly. The waiter was friendly. I like this place. There are beautiful paintings on the walls. I photographed them but they didn't come out. Sometimes strolling musicians come in and sing and play while people are eating. This is my first visit but I will go again. It is clean and light. Food is reasonably priced and good. It is in San Antonio close to the huge OXXO sign....
Breakfast at the Sunrise Restaurant in San Antonio. I like the table setting. Real flowers. The two eggs, hash browns, toast, beans cost 30 pesos, less than three dollars. The salsa is freshly made and delicious. I took a photo of the breakfast too but it didn't come out. Now I notice an ashtray on the table. Funny I missed it while I was eating. No one was smoking while I was there. But if they allow smoking, I probably wouldn't eat there. I have a hard time eating around the smell of smoke. I am picky like that.

The hills are turning green now. The two above photos are of the views from my friend Anita's house.
This dog wasn't contented to just wait outside the door for his bone. I watched him slowly sneak in as if he could make himself invisible. Then he sat by the counter and looked around to see if anyone noticed him. Funny brave hungry dog.
