Finally we have received forwarded mail.  Bob put in the address change the middle of July and we picked up our forwarded mail today!  Apparently the post office uses a sub contractor to print the mailing labels and since our address seemed too long they shortened it. That meant our mail could not be delivered correctly.  They left off our post office box of all things??  We had a bunch of mail
in Texas waiting for a post office box and then it had to be delivered to Ajijic.

It is beautiful day here as is almost everyday.  We took a 45 minute walk on the Ajijic malecon and it was breezy and about 74 degrees.

 

 

 

 

This lantern was on a fairly large estate facing the lake, but looked unkempt. There were many of these lanterns scattered on the grounds and the glass was broken in most.  I loved them.  I could imagine how lovely they would have been when lit at dusk and into the night. 

 

The malecon is constantly being cleaned by workers with these brooms.  Doesn't look like these brooms could sweep much, but the park is always clean.

I caught this bird at the top of a palm.  It is frequently seen in the area and a beautiful bird.

This is some artwork being displayed in a lakeside restaurant window.

 I thought these two pieces of art work also on display were funny.

 

 

 

 

This is a beautiful little tree that our neighbor is nursing along as ants keep eating the leaves. 

 

Bob and I ate at Fonda Dona Lolas for lunch.  It has good food and a nice view.

 

 Little birds fly in the windows and land on the back of chairs looking for food.

 

The orchid on our balcony is finally blooming.

 

 We found this beautiful bug on the balcony chair.  It's underside was bright orange and iridescent blue.  It was about 2 inches long.

 

 

Today was a nice lazy sort of day after going to the market for fresh fruit and vegetables ,walking on the malecon, having lunch out, we relaxed and read on the balcony.
