Tonight we went into Ajijic with John to meet his brother and his wife (Eloy / Ginger) for dinner at Tango Restaurant, supposedly the best steak restaurant in Ajijic. Unfortunately just as we were leaving Deb came down with an upset stomach - so she chose to stay at home for this evening. The restaurant located just south of the Cararterra on Morelos #5 was great. We ordered Spinach fritters to start along with two great margaritta's (not as large as Viva Mexic...

Basically this is a large number of expats that get together once a week and meet at one of the local restaurants for dinner.

I've said this before, but it's quicker for us to get to the Caraterra (the main road the runs between Ajijic and Chapala) by going down the "back lane" It see...

Nothing can beat todays news......at 3:49 a.m. this morning my son Aaron and his lovely wife Tracy made me a GRANDFATHER. Hannah Louise Forster came into this world at 6 lbs. 12 oz. and everyone is doing well.
