Ajijic Mexico home to everyone

 Ajijic sits nestled up against Lake Chapala surrounded by mountains.  Guadalajara is 4.5M, while Ajijic is about 7,000ppl. 

With mountains on one side and the lake on the other, all the little towns and villages are strung out in a straight line.  The road runs east and west, (except to go north to Guadalajara.)  Each little local has a different flavor, Catholic Church and town square.  If you've seen one, you have not seen them all.  You've only seen one!

One town, one Catholic Church.  Lots to go!

My Walk back to WalMart on a Tuesday


GuamĂșchil fruit is a native Mesoamerican fruit, also known as Pithecellobium dulce, Camachile, or Manila Tamarind. It is a sweet and slightly bitter fruit that comes in the form of thin, curly pods. The fruit has a soft, meaty texture and a taste that is described as a mix of apple, pineapple, and peach, with a hint of coconut. 

I saw a lady poking a long stick way up into a tree yesterday.  She was knocking down little bean looking things. You take out the white fruit and remove the seed.  You eat the white fruit.
This lady is selling them in the street.
