Two Nights in Ajijic

 

Before moving to Guadalajara, I had read that there was a charming little town known as Ajijic. I told David I wanted to visit there, so we battled the traffic and 45 minutes later our car was bouncing along the cobblestone streets.

 

 

 

We ended up on a street named 16 de Septiembre (the month our oldest daughter Morgan was born). We found Estrellita's Bed & Breakfast. The host Lorraine greeted us and we learned that she was from California. We stayed two nights are her lovely place.

This is the patio off of our room. One of the nights there was a heavy afternoon thunderstorm which was perfect napping weather. I read that the siesta hour is still a very important part of everyday life in Ajijic. After the storm, this patio was green and alive with birds chirping.



 

Once the rain stops, life goes back to the way it was. We saw kids playing in the flowing water in the streets. We visited a corner store where a woman was making fresh corn tortillas. We bought half a dozen just to enjoy the fresh, hot corn taste.
