Lago de Chapala

From Tapalpa we moved on to Chapala. We splurged a little to stay at the Villa 1927 Arthotel right on the water. It was very nice, but a bit hard to find. There was no sign on the street, and I had to "sneak" in when someone else opened the gate. Then someone parked in front of the gate so we couldn't drive in. Eventually we got settled. They even gave us a free upgrade on our room.

There are lots of birds around the lake - egrets, herons, ducks, coots, and white pelicans like we get in Saskatoon. I wonder if any of our Saskatoon pelicans winter at Chapala?

Of course, being on the water, I couldn't resist a few reflection shots.

It was nice being right on the lake to watch the sunset while we enjoyed a glass of wine.

In the morning we took advantage of the walkway along the shore to get out for a run. Although it was less than a kilometer long, so it took a few laps to get in 5k. And afterwards, good coffee at Coffee Hour.
