At Home In Ajijic

My feet were wet. The slimy kind of wet. Just as radiator fluid spewed out of the heater onto my toes, we arrived to Ajijic. Phew! Pancho is a good boy, but he sure does like to keep us guessing…

My parents, the ‘OG Adventurers’ themselves, welcomed us with open arms. It felt so good to “be home” for a week at their newly remodeled place.

Our jaws dropped as we toured each room, getting a glimpse of the colors, charm, detail, gorgeous handcrafted furniture and all the fine touches down to the fresh fruit and flowers in every room. They had done an INCREDIBLE job!!!

Full of sunflower smiles, the stay was off to the most relaxing start. Catching up, exchanging stories and introducing our pup to the house paws 😉

It’s hard to summarize this portion of the trip because it was special on so many different levels.

Quality time with my family…welcoming and introducing J’s family and friends… So many happy, beautiful souls in one place.

Spanish-cooking classes, learning how to make the best nopales, extended dinners and laughter… My first dirty martini… Whoa… ‘Extra sucio?!’

Birria lunches, sunset malecón cruises, my Mamacita’s treats over coffee (Mmmm those chocolate cookies though!!!), and Mozy’s first time swimming in the pool.

Adventuring in Ajijic and Guadalajara, birthday parties, tequila tastings, and heated matches of “futbolitos”. Gggggooooaaaaalllllll!!!!!!

Ajijic was a full pour to the soul. An overflowing cup of that delicious chocolate drink from the ‘Casa de Cacao’ that will keep you wanting more. More than a place, home is a feeling. Definitely at home in Ajijic, we were so grateful for our loved ones that made it so meaningful. Thank you 🙂
