I'm visiting in Ajijic, Mexico till mid September.
I spent 3 months here back in the summer of 2023. Back then on my first visit, I was homeless because they were tearing down where I lived in Florida to build Condos. ("progress") I recall quite vividly how I became overwhelmed with an extreme feeling of panic when I landed and first got in a cab toward my hotel. It was if I had just realized, "Oh my goodness what have I done?" I don't speak Spanish, I don't know anyone here, and now I've committed to stay for 3 months? What will I DO? How will I fill my days? It was a lot of anxiety... Fast Forward to 2025 and this trip. I decided to put all my 'stuff' into storage back in Florida and take another Mexican vacation.
Stuff in Storage.
This time when I landed and all my stress from packing and moving was finally lifted, I felt a sense of utter calm wash over me as I got into a taxi. It was like I'm coming home. No anxious worries about 'what have I done?' This trip I'm staying four months, but have zero worry about how I'll spend my days. My guess is, when my four months are finally used up, I'll be wishing I was staying longer. Time will tell. Here are a couple of shots from my first day back.
Little Hotel Casita Montana'
My private patio
My Butterfly Suite
I returned to the little hotel from 2023. Casita Montana because I'm friends with the owner Anne Dyer. (Anne has a story)
Anne is from Tulsa OK and is 88yoa. She still manages the hotel operations EVERY day. (note: my luggage behind Anne and my suite at the very far end.)
It's day 3 and I'm ready to go run see stuff. More later!
