Day Trip to Chapala

The city of Chapala is a different world. Although it is located just 30 miles from Guadalajara, it gives off a tranquil feeling that I just stepped back in time. There are no big hotels or high rise office buildings. The area is along the shoreline of Mexico's largest lake (Lake Chapala). We noticed that most of the signs are in English and Spanish because there are thousands of retirees from the U.S. that have made Chapala their home.

David and I parked and walked along Lake Chapala and I took some pictures.

Along the boardwalk, there were children playing on a playground and many dedicated women exercising. There was also a skate park and we watched the kids maneuver their boards.
