Brunch in the village is a common Sunday morning event. We sometimes overwhelm restaurants, but they would not have it any other way. | Rodeos in Mexico aren't just for cowboys. This beautiful young lady is performing part of her dance on a water jug. | |
We caught this cowboy in midair as he showed off his roping skills. | And this little cutie riding side saddles along with 20 other girls were performing their horsemanship. | |
This was our first Mexican rodeo (Charreada). While not like the Mandan Rodeo or the Calgary Stampede, it offered a unique Mexican feel to the old days. | The Ajijic Garden Club hosted its January tour at this hacienda that dates back to the late 1500s. | |
We hosted an Inauguration Fiesta at our place for two dozen friends. Glorine went all out with all the food and trimmings. | As we watched the Obama's and Biden's celebrate this historic event, our guests hung on to every word. | |
The pomp and circumstance of the inauguration, along with great food, margaritas and enjoying the company of great friend made for a very fun evening. | January Birthday night is dining and night clubbing with friends gathered to help celebrate another mile stone. Nine of us were serenaded to Happy Birthday. | |
