I'm currently staying at the Real de Chapala Hotel in Ajijic, and it's an absolute paradise. This stunning lakefront property has heated pools, jacuzzis, delicious food, and breathtaking views of Lake Chapala. I could definitely get used to this lifestyle.
After spending some time here, I now understand why so many expats choose to retire in Ajijic. The temperature is just right - not too hot, not too cold. Even during the summer months, the weather remains comfortable. This is a stark contrast to the summer I spent in Barra de Navidad, where the heat was unbearable without air conditioning and a pool. Here in Ajijic, the climate is so mild that you can get by with just fans.
As my stay comes to an end, I'll be heading back to Melaque in a few days. I'm definitely going to miss this perfect weather and the quiet environment. Ajijic has truly captivated me, and I’d love to return here again sometime. Plus, I have a new friend to visit - my horse buddy Romeo. This place has left a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to come back and experience it again.
