The people at Soriana (a supermarket) were very helpful, as we gringos speak very little Spanish, and assured us we could transfer money there from our account in the states and receive pesos.
Since we had no real plans for the day, we then decided to check out the place where Bob's sister had stayed upon first arriving in Mexico. She was there about a month before finding a house to rent. She called it "The Castle". She had a 2 bedroom apt. and it cost $600 month plus gas which runs about $20 a month. The grounds were beautiful and the neighborhood very safe. The man who ran the complex was German and very hospitable.
These gorgeous plants were on the grounds.
There were lots of bird of paradise plants.
Isn't this adorable?! The complex manager was showing us where we would park our car and said that this electric golf cart belongs to a 92 year old couple who drove to breakfast every morning and around town shopping.
Behind "The Palace" was a beautiful housing area, so we drove around looking at the houses. This interesting 3 dimensional plaque was on the wall surrounding one of the homes.
Wow! Must be a pretty impressive house behind this gate!
Loved this mural on a wall. The detail was great.
This house had a beautiful entrance.
We finished the day with dinner at Roberto's. The owner is American and the food great. There are about 25 choices of evening meals. They bring you an appetizer of fried carrots, bread and corn bread before the meal. We ordered steak with a salad, strings beans and carrots and it came with tip to $20.00. Thurs. and Fri. are 2 for 1. The grounds are beautiful and there is live music.
