An Orphan Looking for a New Home

The event hosted by Gudrun and Dryden at their home was a success, and enjoyed by many as can be seen above. There were many items to purchase with proceeds for the benefit of the dogs.

Tequila

Spent the day in Tequila with our neighbours. It was Revolution Day and parades and horses were everywhere.

Lorena Ochoa Invitational

Lorena Ochoa is currently the number one ranked female golfer in the world.

We were very fortunate to be given passes to the Lorena Ochoa Invitational today. The course and facilities were spectacular. Here is more info on the event: Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
The GPS did take us to the Guadalajara Country Club, however the map did not take into account that the entrance has been sealed and moved to the east portion of the course! Membership for the club stands at $400,000.00 US, not pesos!

Day of the Dead

Here are some pictures (not mine) that were taken last night in Chapala. Note that the ground is covered in flower petals, which are formed into various designs.

The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls' Day) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latin Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
