We left for Guadalajara on Tuesday and after 8hours on 3 different buses we finally arrived in Ajijic. Throughout our trip I said many prayers as I was a little nervous traveling with a baby to a place we had never been. Brent and I where completely taken back by how our trip seemed to flow flawlessly. We did not have accommodations booked thus didn't have directions or even any idea where to get off the bus, and if it where not for two Ajijic locals that we met on the bus we may have missed our stop. As we thanked our new friends we looked up and there was a sign that read "Canadians in Mexico". Wow...how perfect that was us! I went into the business and asked if they new of any accommodations. The man picked up the phone and called Anne and she came right over and we checked into the Casita Montana Bed & Breakfast. The next day at breakfast we explained to Anne our purpose for traveling from Canada to Ajijic. Within the next few hours a friend of Anne's arrived, whom she had not seen in a few months, and we where introduced. As Anne told Sharon our story she advised us that she may know someone who could take us to the orphanage. A few phone calls later we where in a cab out to Barbara's home, to tag along with her for her weekly visit to the orphanage. Brent and I could not believe how one thing after another occurred to make our trip a reality!
We arrived at the orphanage and where overwhelmed with how affectionate and loving the kids where towards us. After all we where strangers but they met us with open arms.

These are the first group of children we met. The one´s that are not old enough to attend school. 18+ months. They where all very sweet and like all children they didn´t want to share the few bouncy balls they where given by the sister.





Barbara is an amazing woman who lives with her husband close to Ajijic. She goes every Wed to the orphanage and brings the children lunch. On the day we visited she brought Chicken-Veg soup and jello. Barbara told us the children love the jello even more then cake and cookies!.
The children where very well behaved...and knew they where not to eat until they sung their prayer and washed their hands.
We spent the afternoon with the sisters/children and Barbara. We helped with their lunch time ritual, played with the children and spoke to the sisters. It was a overwhelming experience, one we will never forget.
