Your couch and chair buying options in the Lake Chapala / Ajijic area are quite limited. With the exception of one or two very interesting specialty stores that have great imported tables and more exotic and higher end items, I don’t know of any mid-range furniture store in Ajijic, there is one locally-owned store in the neighboring town of San Antonio, and, from an expat perspective, extremely limited options in what could loosely be called smaller department stores or other...Your couch and chair buying options in the Lake Chapala / Ajijic area are quite limited.

Almost emblematic of this lack of comfort in furniture is the virtually ubiquitous “equipale” or “tequila” chair, pictured to the right. Very uncomfortable and no place to put your feet and the padding is usually quite lacking. 
We have three or four beautiful rivers that cross Portugal. Further south from Lisbon we have the Guadiana River, where I have rafted. Up north we have Mondego River and further north close to Porto we have Douro River, which is where the Porto Wine comes from. And this area Douro; the Douro River and the cliffs surrounding the Douro River, is where they plant the grapes to produce the world famous Porto Wine or “Port Wine” as you call it in America.

We do not have the very extreme classes of river rafting but we do have some mild intermediate class areas. People raft here in Portugal in the winter and spring.

The hiking is good in the Cayo District because we have higher elevations here. We have mountains and it's cooler. If you go to the mountains, we have the ruins as well that you could go and climb.

The streets of Antigua are all stones. Some say cobblestones, but these are not well cobbled. The city is a World Heritage Site, so it must maintain the old style and flavor of most things here, so they don’t repair the stones with cement to really hold them together. They use a mixture of gravel and a substance called “cal.” It is lime, the main ingredient in cement for concrete, but it’s...
