Retire to Lake Chapala

I didn't need to be at the office for about an hour so I went around the corner to the plaza in Chapala. Let me tell you about the Plaza. It is a place where the local people gather to meet, catch a bus, do some shopping have an espresso, get a bite, shoe shine etc., etc. There are shops and stalls where you can get meat, fish, chicken, produce, flowers, bolillos (bread), restaurants, furniture, hats, boots, clothes, pizza, anything! There is a small stall run by a lady and her 2 daughters that sells rotissarie chicken with salads and tortillas. I got a plate of a chicken breast, cucumber salad, corn tortillas and a coke. You sit at tables outside. The weather is always perfect, really. I ate while I people watched. There was a mom and her 'bout 5 year old daughter waiting in line. The little girl was making faces at me and giggling. Of course I had to make some faces back. She really thought that was funny. There are 2 stray dogs that rule the plaza, dog wise. One of them always comes over while I'm eating and I give him the bones and skin while I eat the pollo (chicken). The lady who owns the business usually runs them off so they don't bother the customers, but, she's given up on me and just rolls her eyes when I feed the old guy. The price for the meal and tip totaled 25 pesos. About $1.80 US money at today's exchange rate. On my way back I saw a 3 piece armature mariachis band playing, kids laughing and screaming in a little arcade, some teenagers walking hand and hand. Nice place.
