RATING: ♦♦♦♦♦+
We assumed we’d find Mexico to be an interesting place to spend the summer, but we had no idea how much we would come to love it.
We had heard that thousands of expats from the US, Canada, and other countries around the world are making Mexico their home. We wanted to go there for ourselves to see what all the fuss was about.
The Lake Chapala area looked particularly inviting to us. The lake is in the mountainous region of central Mexico where the weather is nearly perfect year-round. The summers are relatively cool. Residents of the hot desert and coastal towns of Mexico go to the mountains to escape the heat, just as they do in the US. Enough residents there speak English that it was not necessary to learn Spanish, though we taught ourselves a little before our trip, and picked up some more during our stay.
Our home base was in the village of Ajijic on the shore of Lake Chapala. The pictures here were taken around the village and other areas we visited. All of these pictures are included in other posts we published during our stay in Mexico.
Before we left Ajijic, we reserved another stay at Casa del Angel Feliz for the summer of 2020. Yes, that’s a long way off, but those of us of a certain age know how fast time flies. It will be here before we know it, and we look forward to our return to Mexico!
