Ajijic Wednesday Market Photos

I took these photos with my i pad but I didn't know yet how to zoom in with it. I hope to get this worked out before Saturday. My camera still doesn't work at all.

They have jazz on Tuesday evenings outside. 

 

My steak dinner

 

This is another photo of the musician but as you can see, my camera no longer works. It stopped working and now I get nothing but a white screen. The same thing happened with my last Canon Elph. I looked online for solutions and no one seems to have any. Other people have had the same problem. If anyone out there has a solution, please let me know. This morning I am walking down to the market, without Chico, to try to learn how to use my I pad as a camera. I don't want to buy another camera yet. Maybe I should buy an i phone. I am not sure what to do at this point but I will never buy another Canon Elph.....  

 

I just took this photo with my Canon and it is working. Maybe it only works with more sunshine... But I can't depend on it working for the Thrill the World dance that is coming up Saturday and that is in the evening.

Above is a photo of the woman working there and her beautiful three month old baby. 

 Alfredo's is a fun store to browse and it has many interesting things for sale at reasonable prices. Open seven day's a week. One half a block down from the Guadalajara pharmacy. Phone number is (376) 766 2980

This Afternoon in the Ajijic Plaza

 This little boy was selling fruit at the outdoor restaurant in the plaza. His mother was watching from bench a few yards away. Maybe she has learned that small children more easily open hearts and wallets of expats than grown up women. But she also sent her daughter in to help sell.  You can see her shadow and foot near her little brother.  Next photo is of them both. She agreed to let me take their picture. You can see that she was very protective of him. 

 

 The next photo is of Chico. 

 

 

It became crowded as the afternoon got warmer. 

Morning Thoughts

We had a hard rain last night. Saves me having to water my garden today. I am going to take a long walk with Chico this morning. Maybe we will walk down to the Lake Chapala Society. It is busy these days but I don't know many people anymore. It is still nice just to be around there and listen to the conversations. Chico likes it there too. Many new dogs to meet and smell..... Seems like most expats here have at least one dog. Some have two or three. 

The Day of the Dead is coming up in a few days. On Saturday at five p.m. The Thrill the World dance will be happening at the Ajijic Plaza. That is always fun for me. Chico has to stay home because he isn't a good dog in crowds.  He hates clapping and barks as long as it is going on.

I will post my photos of the dance next week. I need to buy some candy for the trick or treaters. Not many come to my neighborhood. They flood into the wealthy neighborhoods. Last year our neighbors blocked off our street, put out tables and chairs, and had a big party. They served pozole and even brought some to me and my friend Virginia. She was staying with me then. We had bags of candy to give out and only five children came. The neighbor children and they came about five times to trick or treat us. They were sweet. I am looking forward to the Day of the Dead celebrations. The photo below is of Virginia last Halloween at the party. She wanted to hold the baby but she started crying. I think Virginia was starting to cry too.  The young fathers thought it was funny.
