Above center and to the right are photos of the place we were able to put a deposit on for next Nov-Mar. The place is beautiful as you can see. It's about half the size of the place we are in this visit -very small - but it has a heated pool and gorgeous outdoor areas that we can use to extend our living space. And...it's completely secure, right on the edge of Lake Chapala and in Ajijic so that we can walk to the tiangus (outdoor market) three blocks away and to a  good-sized conventional market as well.

Tomorrow we head down the road, heading back to Oregon. The weather there has been record-setting at 70-78 degrees lately, but it doesn't beat the 82-87 we have had here lately! Because of the altitude (5000 ft), it's just perfect. We're hoping most people will be at church or entertaining family, while we are driving. Or if they are travelling during Semana Santa (the extended Easter holiday), they should be at their destination, fingers crossed! I will post again soon. Right now we are in packing mode - a fairly major undertaking after six months in our second home in Mexico.
