The couple we've been staying with near Ajijic have been our tour guides during our time here. Tonight is our last night here before heading off to Guanajuato which is arguably the most picturesque city in the world.
Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, our hosts decided to take us to the nearby city of Chapala.
Like most cities we visit, there was no shortage of vendors in Chapala. This booth was selling coconuts. We don't yet exactly know how they're served because we (shamefully) have yet to purchase one, however, I believe they chop off the top with a machete, loosen up the fruit, and give you a straw to drink the coconut milk. One of these days we'll find out for sure!
Maddie, excited to check out all the goods!
These are some badass owl backpacks. We're going to buy one, pronto!
It was a busy place on this Easter Sunday!
In a lot of the cities we've visited, there have been these indiginous people who do the same performance. They all climb to the top of this tall pole on the malecon. Then one of them sits on the very top playing a small instrument like a recorder while the other four tie a rope to themselves and swing upside down as they gradually descend to the ground.
We ended our explorations of Chapala by visiting the colorful sign that's located in just about every city in Mexico. Considering that Chapala is so close in proximity to the big gringo enclave of Ajijic, we thought there'd be a lot more expats there. But as it turns out, it was almost all Mexicans. It was pretty cool to see how some Mexicans spend their Easter.
