We're staying at an Airbnb down here, thought I'd share the views.

At 1500+ meters (5000+ ft) above sea level.

That is extremely impressive when you consider that the latitude is approximately 20.6° N. It is hard to imagine as a flatlander the ability to grow all of those tropical specimens at 5000 feet altitude! I am certain that many more are capable of growing in the area.

Of course we had to visit Tecomán, Colima, (the coconut capital of Mexico): for the 2nd time (only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Ajijic) to see my Cocos nucifera .

Miles and miles of coco plantations. These quick vids don't do 'em justice.  I mean, as far as the eye can see. And then some.

I spend a lot of time down there, the gardens are amazing. Go down there in the rainy season to see the waterfalls.
