Scorpion Island

Scorpion Island

January 18 was my birthday and Dan and I decided to go take a boat ride to this Island that we have been hearing about. There are tour boats in Chapala that takes you to this island which is named for Scorpions. It was a very pleasant relaxing day. Enjoy the movie of the surroundings and the beauty of the area.





I would like to thank everyone for all the fabulous birthday wishes. I have lots to thank for and I am blessed that each of you are in my life. Since I moved to Mexico I have experienced and explored how other cultures live. I do not regret making this change for I have met wonderful people of all nationalities. You become humble and thankful for the experience. It is never what one expects it to be. I recommend going out and explore other countries for your idea’s will change for the best. Dan and I have !!!!

Two weeks ago our friend Tom took us on a day trip to explore this town and around the area. Experienced much more then the surroundings; such as the food. Check out the movie of our day.





Cajititlán Laguna Lake was part of the great state of Jalisco in Mexico. It is located in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga in the metropolitan area 25 minutes from peripheral Guadalajara on the road to Chapala.



The meaning of the name comes from the Nahuatl Cajititlán root "caxitl" meaning bowl, bowl, gourd or recipiente.



The lake has a variety of fish among which are, crappie, carp, chub, tilapia, popocha among others. Here it is permitted to fish , measuring 3 inches as the minimum unit. The lagoon is a depth of 4 meters on average, expanding to a great length, and with a great tradition of each village adjacent to the lagoon.



In Cajititlán it is celebrated the feast of the Holy Kings, January 6th ,several hundred people from all over the world come to see crafted figures ride a boat in the lagoon Cajititlán. The people bring their children ,who range from the largest to infant to see Melchor the King with the white beard along with the two other kings.
