Nice relaxed start to the day - Susana made bacon & eggs for breakfast, & we all took turns cuddling the baby! After a lazy morning, the Sparks-Lawrence family got into the car & went out to get Mark's suit for the Christening fitted, buy some chickens, fruit & veg for tonight's "English meal"! Susana then took M with her to her hair appointment, where M had her finger nails painted! D started to prep the veggies, with the help of Mark's bottle of...

Got up & packed, then returned to last night's restaurant for breakfast - L&M had 3 hotcakes with maple syrup! Once fed, we returned to the hotel room to finish schoolwork & then walked to the central square to find a taxi. The driver asked for M$360, which was a little more than we had paid to get to Chapala, & half an hour later, we were in Guadalajara once again. The bus to Zacatecas (M$455 each) didn't leave until 2.30pm, so we had nearly 2 ...

Didn't wake up until after 9am (!), so got kids to start their schoolwork, but decided to go out for breakfast before they were finished, as everyone was hungry.

Just before we paid, we saw a hummingbird in the tree next to us! We returned to the stationers for L to buy a pad of paper to use for h...

Didn't wake until 9am, kids did their schoolwork, then we went out to find breakfast - eggs for the kids, burger & chips for D&L (much to the children's' annoyance!!). Bought new writing books & a manuscript book for schoolwork purposes, then walked to the bus station & caught the local bus to Ajijic. We sat on the bus, waiting to arrive at an obvious point to disembark, until it became obvious that we had overshot the centre of town! We got off...

Ate cold pizza for breakfast in the hotel room, & the kids did their schoolwork. Then we went into town to buy bus tickets for the 11.05am bus back to Guadalajara. As there was an hour before departure, we returned to the nice coffee shop for a drink, then grabbed our bags from the room, & caught the bus. On arriving at the "New" bus station, we bought a taxi ticket (M$135) to transfer us to the "Old" bus station, to catch the bus to Chapala. The tax...
