A walk from the Ajijic Plaza to the Thai Restaurant










Chico is always welcome there. He is waiting patiently for the food while looking out the door.



I had dinner with Jack and Virginia. I forgot to take her photo but this is Jack enjoying the look of his drink, sin alcohol. 




Lunch at the American Legion in Chapala

I hadn't seen my friend Emily for many months. We finally got together at the Legion.



I was very disappointed with their Veracruz Fish. I made a special trip to Chapala just for that but they changed the recipe. Emily and I both pushed aside most of the sauce. I won't go back again for that special. 

Photos of Saturday afternoon in the Ajijic Plaza


































It was a very peaceful day in the plaza. Chico and I sat there for an hour or so, enjoying watching everyone.

Morning Thoughts

I am going again to the spa to swim. I was sure that yesterday would have been quiet but it wasn't. The Easter crowds are still around and it was difficult to do laps. I will go earlier today and see if that makes a difference. It is getting very hot in the afternoons too. Swimming in hot water on a hot day isn't great fun. Okay, no more complaining.

Last night my friend called me and said she didn't have any water. She said it had been a day and a half and she was upset. That brought back memories of my first place here in Lower La Floresta. The pump was always going out and sometimes it was days before we had water again. I remember going out to our little water fountain in the yard and scooping up water so I could flush my toilet. That water was green and awful looking. But I was desperate.  So far, no water problems in my new home. We will see when the rainy season comes around. That won't be long from now. 

I have been spending most of my afternoons at home next to my fan. It is too hot to be walking around town. I watch a lot of Netflix and read a lot of books. Sometimes my life is boring but the good times overshadow the boring ones. I have no idea of when the next holiday will arrive but I am guessing it is just around the corner. There aren't many days between them. 



Chico knows how to spend these hot afternoons.

Sunday Morning with Chico in the Ajijic Plaza






I love this photo. The man on the right was my neighbor on Galeana when I lived there.


This is a bilingual champion dog. Spanish is his first language and he responds to it quicker than English.























This is a photo exhibit that has been up in the plaza for awhile. 









This street dog wouldn't leave us alone.  Chico hid from him under the bench. But he captured my heart. I think he would have jumped on my lap if I had let him. (Now that it is a few hours after taking these photos, I feel very sad for that dog. I wish I could have helped him but Chico was afraid of him. I didn't notice the dog's desperation until now, looking at these photos.)
