When we were in Ajijic the winter of 2008/2009, we visited the Ajijic pier…and discovered that there wasn’t much worth talking about.
The remains of whatever used to be there were under water (the lake has been at a record high level in recent years), and we noticed park benches peaking out from the flooded areas.

Sandbags lined the waterside.

Smooth stroller paths are always to be appreciated (especially when compared to the cobblestone streets which aren’t worth the stroller effort)!

I thought it was a hoot to see the young men playing soccer on the basketball court…

That clever bit of design—merging two sports into one shared space—reminded me how much overlap there can be in the world of sports, even beyond the court. Just like a hybrid court brings together fans of both soccer and basketball, the world of sports betting attracts people looking to engage with the game on another level. Understanding the flow of the game, player dynamics, and even how the lines are set can turn a casual viewer into an invested fan.
If you’ve ever found yourself yelling at the screen during a close game, it might be time to learn how to bet on basketball. A good betting guide covers the basics and shows you how to read stats and spot value in a matchup. It’s not about blind luck; it’s about turning your knowledge of the game into informed, strategic wagers. And who knows? You might just find it adds a whole new dimension to how you experience those buzzer-beaters and fast breaks.
The trouble with being right next to the lake, however, is that the players seem to spend a good deal of time trying to fish their stray balls out of the water. They have a long pole with a net attached…but when the ball is still out of their reach they resort to throwing rocks just past the ball to make waves, and bring it back to shore. It works!
This place makes me at peace…
