Letter from Mexico .Janeiro (2019)

Wintery Lake scene from the Club House .

Serendipity a gorgeous word . Pretty much things and circumstances dropping into place, pleasingly and propitiously . The perfect  example  perpetuated by final 10  minutes of  the  genre , Holly wood Rom Com . You know the sort of thing  . Oh My God I love her/him. Where can he/she be… ???etc etc….

I digress, albeit slightly .

If you wished , here in Ajijic ,  your time could be spent   going out every week and practically  every night.

Here is a taste :

Monday dancing and dining at Adelitas .

Tuesday at The Spotlight club watching a show….

Wednesday dine and dance with the most beautiful view of the Lake at La Cime de Copol.

Thursday watch a reading at The Naked Stage .

Friday watch a play at The Little Theatre then go onto Adelitas to dine and dance.

Saturday afternoon go to a movie ( all subtitles are in Spanish , so you can learn a little of the local lingo whilst enjoying the popcorn and film extravaganza). Then go to La Bodega for dancing and dining

Or return to a show at The Spotlight , they acquire good acts who have performed in Guadalajara and by way of a detour these self same entertainers  pop down to the lake for one extra show. 

Sunday , lie down…….

There is also   the cornucopia of Guadalajara  , if you fancy  the Opera or  Ballet and cultural cosas ( things)..

In Between you play bridge , tennis and mahjong  , have manicures , pedicures,chiropody, and physiotherapy and get your roots touched up.

Sundays are truly  a blessing.

By the way Walmart is still  open so you can catch up on the shopping if nigglingly  restless.

But the funniest evening was going to a Mexican Male Strip Show. Maybe because it is a Catholic country the gorgeous young chaps do not get their man fruits and winkey out. The rest is fabulously gyrated and on display. But what they lack in the way of the Full Monty they make up for  by getting the audience hot and happily bothered.. 

That is 100 pesos not $`s. But they started at 9.00p. so we all had drunk the bar dry.

Grabbing one hapless female from the audience , at a time ,and grinding  down on her or as in my case. he, the male vision in tightest striped pants , picked me up , put my legs encircling his waist whilst jigging me up and down . Then , the piece de resistance, flipped me over like a wheel barrow and continued to simulate humping Yours Truly . For a moment there I thought I was going to put my  hip out.. Smiled inanely  and a shade  hysterically throughout.

My chum Jean , stroked pectorals as to the manner born whilst we screamed and yodelled on in encouragement.

A great evening . held in a Gay Bar ,. La Inferno. Thus a few very happy pink faces of the male gender stuffed pesos notes down their trunks when they jumped up onto the bar for their delectation and amusement .

Not to mention enjoying la Dia des Muertos , a guaranteed time to make yourself look as gruesome and glammy with fellow Catrinas et al.

Rosemary is a little out of focus…but trust me she looked fab ghoulish. Marcella and Patty complete the ensemble.

Next month it`s the Northern Lights Festival. Run amazingly well by the amazing Louise Morel. (The lead act died last year on the eve of the opening gala and somehow they threw together some brilliant substitutions……)

Mientras tanto  (meanwhile) I have a few planes to catch . Island hopping for this British Islander. New Zealand via Hawaii with brill Belgian  chum Roland 

So Serendipity is alive and well here by Lake Chapala .
