Chapala Men's Club and a Dress Shop

Above is a dress shop on one of the side streets in Chapala. I like the colors and shapes of all the little girl's dresses.

One of the morning men's get togethers that happens every day. I went in to Chapala to swim and the pool was being cleaned. I thought he said to come back on two hours so I walked back to town and sat with them for awhile. They will welcome anyone who wants to sit and chat. They are not trying to solve the world's problems, just enjoying each other's company. When I went back to the pool he said I couldn't swim until the next day. I went home, hot and very tired from the past week of swimming and walking too much. I guess it was a good thing to have another day of rest. I have been doing too much on my blog. Too many photos, so I have decided to cut back. Not take so many photos. And maybe write a little, again. I wrote more when I first put this blog up. Then I got obsessed with photos. I get obsessed easily with one thing and will do it until it totally exhausts me. I have been like that lately with the swimming too. I am a person of passions and extremes and getting older hasn't changed that quality much. There are times that I become so exhausted that I just sit around for a day and read. My poor old body just says No and refuses to be pushed any further. After I came home from Chapala I was like that the rest of the day. I didn't do anything except read a book. I am reading At Play in the Fields of the Lord written by Peter Matthiessen. I saw the movie a couple of times. Interesting book. Talk about passionate and extreme personalities...
