Saturday Evening at the end of Colon in Ajijic

 

On Saturday and Sunday they close off the bottom of Colon to car, motorcycles and bikes. . It is nice to walk around there. The restaurants have tables and chairs outside and serve food. There are tables with crafts for sale and there is music. I hadn't been there before last Saturday. I went with my friend Pat. One of the nice things about having friends come and visit is that they take me to new places.

 

 

 

 

These boys look bored. Maybe this event is mostly for adults. 

 

City Sandwich Food Truck

This food truck is parked next to the Waffle House in West Ajijic. They have only been there about two months. Their food is delicious. All they serve are five different sandwiches from five different cities. I noticed a lot of southern and Texas accents of people who go there because it is their kind of food. I had the S. Carolina barbecued pork, delicious. And the Philly Cheese sandwich. He also makes a catfish sandwich and I had a piece of his homemade pecan pie. What a treat. Look at the top of the truck and you will see the names of the cities.

 

My friend Pat is sitting on the left with two of her friends next to her.

 

 The last two photos are of the owner and his wife. I hope they make a success of the business and stay. I love their food. They are both very nice and I enjoy eating there. 

 

 

Morning Thoughts

 

Olive's morning routine is to sit by my computer while I am working and when she gets bored, she  jumps to my window and watches people walk to work.

 

  

 

 Chico likes to stay in bed as long as possible.

 

 

I bought these flowers at the Weds. Market and they are just opening up. They have a wonderful fragrance too.

I usually wake up before the sun rises. I like to make coffee and read my e mails first thing. Olive often follows me around complaining about one thing or another. Usually if I turn on a faucet so she can drink water as it flows out, she is happy. We lead very simple lives here. I am appreciating my daily routines, especially since I came so close to dying. It is good to live and I am happy that I didn't die. I would like to see my family again before that happens. I haven't seen them in over a year. I miss them. But we all have to follow our own dreams. My dream has always been to live in Mexico. Well, not ALWAYS. I would say it started when I visited San Blas fifteen years ago. My friend Pat, from San Blas will be here a few more days. I have known her fifteen years now. She is a special friend to me. I will miss her when she leaves. I am mostly a loner and rarely spend time with friends. Now that I can swim again, I often go to the spa for a few hours in the mornings. And when I come home I am too tired to visit with anyone. Like I wrote already, I lead a very SIMPLE life.
