For those interested in Mexico, its Art and Crafts or Indigenous Art with its age old and often laborious techniques of manufacturing, then the 11th Feria Maestro del Arte, at Lake Chapala is the place to be. Plan ahead- November 16 to 18, 2012 are the 3 days that you will be able to peruse and buy from the 70 plus prime artisans that have gathered from throughout the vast country of Mexico. See map of some of their locations.

Many Canadians, Europeans and Americans have chosen the Ajijic area on Lake Chapala as their preferred retirement destination for a number of reasons. One reason is that we have a very large expat community.

GUIDE TO CONDO BUYING in AJIJIC , Mexico
Our first album of photos from this trip was on the Veracruz area. We started about 10:30am on Fri. April 17,09 and made better time than expected on the excellent highways between Guadalajara and Mexico City and therefore decided to push on to Puebla on day one. Five O'Clock, through Mexico City was a challenge. We had never driven through it before but after about 2 ½ hours, darkness had fallen and we were on the outskirts and our way to Puebla.

Linda & I just returned from a 10 day drive from Ajijic, along the north shore of Lake Chapala to LaBarca, then onto the hwy. 15 Cota (Toll) road to Mexico City, then on to Puebla. A great city where we spent 3 days, then a short driving day to Veracruz for another 3 days.
Twelve years of fun, joy, excitement, amazingly consistent weather, meeting really interesting friendly people (foreigners and locals), traveling to nearby fascinating towns and cities. That is a synopsis of our time in the Lakeside area since 1996.
There are so many exciting places to visit in the world. Many are better to visit than to live but that depends on your critera for a retirement or 2nd home location.

1-You can not safely drink the water or eat the food !
We have visited various parts of Mexico since the ‘70s and owned in Ajijic - Chapala since '96 and traveled more. In the late 70's a group of about 150 went out for a evening cruise and party off Acapulco. It turned out that over ½ got Montezuma's Revenge. That was the 70's. The next year we went to Cancun. No one got sick. And (touch wood) in all the years since, we have not nor have many of the hundreds of friends and acquaintances.
Even though we have thousands of Americans, Canadians and other foreigners living in the Ajijic / Chapala area in harmony with the friendly Mexicans, these are names that bring wonderment to many north of the US -Mexican border.
