Legend of the Kwaytays (Original and Complete Version)...The Legend of the Kwaytays And How They Came To Be...By Micki Wendt..Once upon a time there was a village on a beautiful lake in the mountains of a very faraway land that had almost perfect weather almost all the time.  The people fished, grew crops, raised families, and were peaceful and happy and spent a lot of time thanking their gods for their good life...Read More...Click Here

Jan thru Easter Ajijic Fiestas by Micki Wendt...Far from the Northern dread of returning to work and school and battling the cold after The Holidays, the fun keeps going in cheerful Ajijic, starting on New Year’s Day.
A relatively new tradition is the wacky January 1 parade which starts at 6 Corners at 12 noon and heads east down Ocampo to Constitucion where it turns north on Galeana, the street behind the church.

Plant Lady..Most people dislike spiders. Most people really dislike and fear scorpions - with the very thought of having these insidious critters in your home has one running for poisons to kill it. While usually March through June (when nighttime temperatures are above 70 F/ 21C) are peak scorpion activity months in the Riviera Nayarit, perhaps due to the mild, dry winter I have seen scorpions every day this last week.....Read More...Click Here

 David Bryen: Diminishing Fear's Power

Fear constricts our attention and disconnects us from the deeper resources of the soul. In this presentation, David Bryen will address these issues and more. He will explain the internal skills, that when developed, strengthen the muscles of awareness and attention that allow us to diminish fear's power, and to come into a more satisfying relationship with the fear in the world. 

David Bryen was a professional therapist moving here from Oregon. He pursues 'An Exploration of Consciousness'. Through his music, his poetry, his writing and his teaching, he always defends access to our inner life.

Ajijic Chili Cookoff
'Chili Cook-Off' Feb 10-11-12, 2012

This year's cook-off will move...inside the Tobolandia grounds.  Not only will it provide for much better security, but the site is immediately behind the water slides and consists of three grass-covered and shaded soccer fields.  There is a permanent, shaded stage, along with plenty of room around it, a very large shaded area of our tianguis, a shaded avenue for our parade and another new event at this year's cook-off will be the Cruz Roja Duck Race.  They'll be using one of the big float rivers at Tobolandia for the races.  

We're still signing up contestants for the People's Choice Salsa/Home-Cook chili and Restaurant Chef chili events and have added another new People's Choice contest, Best Lakeside Margarita.  
 
The new location will be much easier to navigate and much safer.  
 
Entertainment schedule, parade routes etc, coming soon.
