Re: [bound4ajijic] Early arrival at GDL

I took this flight last year, and had the same concerns. In the end, I rented a car at the airport but even with the time that took, I was still early. I spent the time driving from Chapala, looking at the sights, went through Ajijic, on to Jocotopec and then back to Ajijic. There are no coffee shops or restaurants open till about 8:00 am so you have to find something to do till then - unless you have a house or hotel to go to. If you need some place to sit for a while, there is the donut place across from Farmacia Guadalajara on the main drag coming in to Ajijic. It has a nice little covered patio that is quiet and secure. Also, I would have no problem sitting in the square for a while, watching the trees and birds come to life. It is two blocks down from the Careterra, on Colon. If none of those appeal, just find a place to sit at the airport and bring a good book! While sunrise may be later than you want, it gets light long before sun-up!
