MORE LAKE CHAPALA VIEWER COMMENTS
About your DVD..wonderful! Does it make me want to move there? Oh, si senor!
In general, you have given the whole area an aura of casual luxury in a wonderful "warts and all" approach. Your pictures are, clean, clear, vibrant, and, above all, interesting! You have depicted the area as ethnic, cultural, relaxed. The pictures of the foods in the market, the white boats floating on blue waters with red flowers in hanging baskets made me want to walk right in! The section on restaurants made me hungry!
You portrayed the people as beautiful, happy, family oriented and loving, and their way of life as full of color and pageantry. You made good use of children and of non-Mexicans. And, the colors! My gosh, the colors! In parades, dances, flowers, churches, landscapes! Wonderful!
Last but not least, the use of wonderful transitional effects made the pictures flow together and kept the interest of this viewer! And, the calm, mellow, relaxed voice describing all of this wonder just is plain soothing... inviting... humorous...and honest.
