Jocotepec

 

Well after spending 2 months in Punta Perula it is time to start home, but very slowly. One of our last nights a rainbow started forming.  Maybe to show us what we will miss until we came back in Nov and hopefully start building our casita.

 

On the way to Villa Purificacion we saw these road signs.

We are currently in Jocotepec on Lake Chapala. It seems strange not to hear the surf breaking on the shore.  Now we wake up to birds chirping in the morning instead. Market day is Thursdays, of coarse we had to go.

On the way to Jocotepec we saw these stacks.  Don't know what they are.

 

The towns around Lake Chapala are very touristy, with large homes on the lake and lots of gated communities on the hillsides. A very congested area. The lake itself is not one we would want to spend any time at. The shoreline is muddy and from what we've seen not very blue.

We took a trip to Tlaquepaque to look for articles for the casita and check prices. It was too much of a tourist town. We plan on going to Tonala where we're told the factories are that make the articles you see in Tlaquepaque. 

It is interesting to see how they have made the wheelbarrows hold more dried leaves.  Don't think you could move the wheelbarrows if you filled them with wet leaves.
