We were in Mexico last year for the revolution parade in Ajijic on November 20. It was much smaller there. Yesterday the parade lasted from 9:30am until noon! We didn't stay to watch it all because it was just too hot. Mostly, all the schools take part and the kids are dressed in their uniforms and look so sweet. There are also lots of little ones dressed in revolutionary era costumes, little boys with play rifles and bullets strapped around their chests and with painted mustaches on their faces.
We spend either mornings or afternoon at the beach, then the other part of the day exploring the city and neighborhood, with time at the pool thrown in somewhere as well. The beach is just a short five minute walk and is beautiful and the water is WARM. We bought a beach umbrella from a vendor which makes it easy to stay there for hours.
Sunday night Ros and Ben invited us for dinner at their condo. We had wonderful huge prawns and grilled dorado- the local white fish. It was excellent.
We found out from Marilu, our neighbor, that the beer truck makes weekly deliveries to this building for the residents. It's a lot easier than carrying it home from the market! We had a case of 24 Corona brought up to our unit by Miguel! They will return in a week to collect the empties and replace what is needed :) What a great country!!
We really love the area where we are staying. There are lots of small markets and vendors everywhere. I love the photo of the huge bags of lemons (we call them limes) that were lined up by the building next to us yesterday.
