El Saltos Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 The channel number depends on the numbering system you have, there are two. Look for it on CBC- HD. CBC and or SportsNet are carrying every game live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sorry, Brad, I have no idea what might be being celebrated this weekend. There has been celebrating in my Chapala barrio all week. But, I believe it is the fiesta for the little church here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmowers Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks, Xena, why do I think I'll ever figure out music and rockets in Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2tog Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Your best guess for noise (loud bands, fireworks, etc.) on weekends is a wedding, birthday party, or some sort of family celebration especially if there's not a local or national holiday on our calendar for that time.

Ezzie Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Big celebration going on further east along the north shore in San Pedro. It is the town's birthday today and it is over 500 years old apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Brad, you will get better at it, but it seems you have to be here decades to really understand it. However, after a while you just go along with it, knowing happy people are celebrating something. Along with noise and other disruptions, more joy is being released and you learn to tune into that--if you are lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 San Pedro is a long way from Ajijic. By the way Ajijic has several barrios and each barrio has its own saint so maybe it is the saint´s fiesta in your barrio. In San Cristobal we have something like 30 something barrios so we are good for fiestas around the clock all year long. Right now Santo Domingo is celbrated the Sacred Heart so we are good for 9 days of cohetes. San Cristobal is sometimes this month as well so that will be another 9 days and I am sure that considering the number of churches around there will be another 2 saints to be celebrated this months which will explain the non stop cohetes. We also have lots of roof cats and they fight and and have these horrible calls all day and night long, I think I lie the fighting roosters better as the feral cats are driving me up the wall. We also have lots of drunks screaming at night ..do not complain about Ajijic ,, it is very quiet in comparaison. One good thing the roofs are too steep to have roof dogs but the few people who have terrasses or flat roofs also have dogs on them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaDamer Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Given that this past Sunday was the Catholic feast of Saints Peter & Paul, that might explain the fiesta, especially in San Pedro. As Mexico is such a Catholic country, expats might want to get a catholic calendar so they can anticipate feasts...not sure what the Mexican bishops have, but the US RC bishops have an easy website at: www.usccb.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
