Atemajac de Brizuela


We spent several days in the small village of Atemajac de Brizuela which is in the mountains south and west of Guadalajara. It is so very pleasant there, so much more peaceful and quiet than the fast-paced life of the big city of Guadalajara. Here, Arleta is walking down one of the quiet streets. All the streets are paved like this, with rocks. We met a number of wonderful, friendly people here.




Entrances, doors, are fascinating! One always wonders what lies beyond. What is the home like that lies beyond these doors? This entrance was entrancing! The vegation and the moss and the doors speak of a quiet place, a house that is truly a home, a quiet place to spend one's life.







We drove out into the countryside not far from Atemajac de Brizuela and found a small lake. Adelina shows off a bush of blue lupine along one side of the pond. Notice behind her that Atemajac lies on a hill




Don and Ricardo weren't far away.






Here are Ricardo, Adelina, Don and Arleta, near one of the big cactus "trees" that we find all around here. Notice Atemajac on the hill behind.






And it is nice to go to a restaurant, Herradura, and find a nice pizza to eat.
