Open doorways give glimpses into hidden worlds. An open door is an opportunity to sneak a peek inside.
Here are some behind the wall scenes.

The Hacienda Del Lago…
A left over from the years gone by.
Now an elegant boutique hotel and restaurant.

Above-Studying the menu for the restaurant.
Below–In the kitchen.
Below- One of the only four units a casita.
Below– The little private chapel.
All that is left is of many Haciendas is the chapel or church which stands in the plazas. The towns themselves grew up around the Haciendas which are mostly now all gone.
For that posting see here.
