Tonala

I spent the day in Tonala. Known for its ceramics, glass making, and handicrafts, the town is a popular tourist destination. It was so tempting to buy everything I saw. I bought a set of wine glasses for some friends who own a bar in Melaque. I couldn't resist buying something for myself as well. A pair of colourful champagne glasses caught my eye. I decided I would use these glasses at my wedding if I ever get married again. I know it's wishful thinking, but eventually it will happen. When it does, I'll let you know. :)

Arrived in Ajijic

The journey to Ajijic took about five hours. Our drive through Colima brought us close to an erupting volcano. As we drove, I took a photo of the eruption with my phone. Seeing it was an amazing experience. It would have been nice if I could have been closer, but at least I saw it erupt. Awe-inspiring.

 
I’ll be in Ajijic for a few days. This is a beautiful town to stroll around. The buildings are so colourful, I love them.



    


I couldn't resist. ;)

The owner of the butcher shop feeds scraps to the stray dogs every day. Sweet lady.

One for the road

My invitation to another road trip was too good to turn down. Ajijic, Guanajuato, and San Miguel de Allende are on the itinerary. Road trips are my favourite!


Ready to go!

Yes I'm wearing a camouflage netted hat. The last time my friend and I went on a road trip together she almost had to carry me out of the rainforest because I'd been bitten by fire ants and my toes were swollen. Haha well this time I'm prepared for anything. Here's a tip: Don't wear flip flops in a rainforest. ;)
