Oct 19, 2006 — A couple of months ago, I met an American naturopathic doctor who lives in nearby Ajijic and began doing a health-enhancing program under his supervision. I’m definitely feeling better from it — I’m drinking two quarts of water or so daily, and eating in a way that is designed for my particular metabolism. It’s nice to have lost some weight too!

Anyway, Doc McGee and his wife MarCia McBride-McGee manage an attractive bed and breakfast in Ajijic. Since they are both very nice people, I am sure that staying there would be a very pleasant introduction to the Lake Chapala area. Room rates are reasonable, with seasonal discounts, wireless internet throughout, and more. For more details see the Ajijic La Paloma Bed and Breakfast website, which has a lot of pictures. And if you go, tell them Rosana sent you!

There are actually quite a few very nice expat-run B and Bs in the Lake Chapala area. If you are coming to the area to explore whether it would be for you, I think staying in one of them would be a very valuable way to immediately have people you could talk to (in English!) with all your questions.
