It’s always
delightful when we have a guest who has never been to Mexico. Each year we have more to share, greater
enthusiasm, and more information. (but never enough!!)
Karen joined us 6
days ago and we have been on the “go” visiting towns, Tiangis (markets),
feasting with friends, and delighting in the fruits of Mexico with renewed
enthusiasm.
We enjoyed the
pool and view at the Racquet club, explored the back roads of Jocotepec and
visited Montse so Karen could enjoy a hair treatment, Mexican style. This often
includes Montse’s kids leaping on top of each other in the very small salon,
her grandmother sitting on the couch and the local kiosk delivering food. Yet the chaos did not compromise Montse’s
skill as a stylist and the results were great!
We’ve enjoyed
delightful weather, endless interesting conversations, and the beauty of the
Jacaranda trees now in bloom. These tall trees with their purple blue petals
look stunning next to the still blooming brilliant yellow Primavera Trees.
Yesterday Marta,
our Mexican friend, came over and gave Karen and I a wonderful massage. Marta is multi-talented, she does
reflexology, massage and knows so much about herbal medicine. She is always glad to answer questions and
fill in our information gaps when it comes to tradition and life in Mexico. She took us to an herbal store as Ivan’s
shoulder was causing severe pain. We now have topical Peyote Cream!
Here are a few
visuals of our unusually active life between the old road in Joco, and the
festive Tiangi in Chapala.
