La Manzanilla for Tango last 2 weeks of January

Some of the hurricane damage in November

Our tent and kitchen at the beach for our 2 week stay

Sunset at 6:50 pm

Palapa on the beach where we hung our hammock.

Colourful vegetation
We had quite a trip back leaving at 3 am. We were delighted to be upgraded on British Airways to Business class. That meant that we got to lie FLAT with pillow and duvet for the night journey!!!
Then it went downhill, we got the back of the plane squished in seats from London to Dallas. It was 3 hours late leaving because of mechanical problems and hence we missed our connecting flight to Guadalajara. We were put up in a hotel in Dallas but there was some mad scrambling to arrange for our Ajijic guests to get in the house as we would not be there until later the next day. We arrived at the house to pick up our car which was packed for the beach. We arrived at 8:30 at night and had to construct camp with tents (after travelling more than 26 hours!) and then 5 1/2 hours to the beach!

Unfortunately the flu was going around and we lay for 5 days in out tent, not eating  and keeping each other awake coughing. We are still recovering with a cough that hangs on now that we are back in Ajijic. We did enjoy our walks along the beach for our morning and evening tango lessons, and catching up at one of the restaurants on the beach that had internet. We enjoyed the lovely tango group, mostly from Vancouver Island,  and Seattle, California, Montreal and Holland. Our Holland friends returned with us for a few days to see the area and our Tango teachers hopefully arrive soon for a visit and some classes here.
