Ajijic and Lake Chapala

Hi! How is everyone doing? Hope not working too hard!

Just wanted to share some pics of a day trip we took out of Guadalajara. We caught a bus and headed to Lake Chapala and Ajijic. Lake Chapala is a small town w/a lot of expats living there. It's a great place and I see why people from the U.S. made the move. We were told to check out Ajijic as well since we were so close to the area. We're glad we did. Ajijic was beautiful. In fact we actually liked Ajijic better than Lake Chapala. Ajijic shares the same Chapala lake but the town still has all the Mexico charm. Americans are starting to discover this land as well. It has all the amenities we are used to back home except for a mall. (grocery stores, movie house, home depot and lots of speciality stores.) And yet its still very affordable.

I'll start by sharing pictures of Ajijic first.

They had a beautiful

Church.

As I stated this is

an upcoming area.

They are starting to

put in a Boardwalk

& preparing for tourist

Don't get me wrong...There's plenty of restaurants, shops, beautiful homes and a strong Expat community already in existence. But this place is just now starting to boom.

The Expat community

gathers in this area.

Here they share information

Post bulletin notices.

Have coffee, play games,

organize charities & parties.

Beautiful streets

and nice homes.

Real Estate is

starting to boom

and it's inexpensive

at the moment.

Lake Chapala is town built

around this amazing

lake. It's a huge

body of water.

This man was so cute.

He's fishing using a

fishing line and a

coke bottle.

Definitely an art

to it.

Get this, the fish in this lake like tortillas.

They have a very

nice boardwalk w/

shops, restaurants

and large homes

A view from the

pier looking back

at the boardwalk

As you can see...

we are still enjoying

our travels here

in Mexico.

We've met so many people on our journey and several of them have traveled the path we are heading. It's been awesome hearing their experiences and knowledge. We really want to thank them. We've taken all the advise to heart and because of them our travels so far has been smooth. We hope our paths will cross again in the future.

Happy & safe travels - B&B
