Living at Lake Chapala in Mexico

Our ordinary daily life in Mexico often feels surreal to those of us who have made a new life at Lake Chapala. In fact, sometimes we see sights so unusual, they make us stop and stare.

Since we can never predict "What's Around the Next Corner," we'll occasionally post some of of the fun sights we've captured to get you warmed up and ready to find your own special scenes. These "Kodak moments" happen so frequently that we always have a camera with us; we don't want to ever miss another chance to get a shot of the old man riding the burro while talking on his cell phone.

Who would have thought there would be a hot pink, Rolls Royce stretch limo anywhere in the world? We saw this one in the parking lot at Guadalajara's Miguel Hidalgo airport.

We thought about hanging around to see who would get into this fantastic car; our first thought was Dolly Parton. Then, when we realized that Dolly probably wasn't in town and we wouldn't recognize most of Mexico's movie stars or musicians, we came on home.

Who do you suppose ordered this unusual ride?
