  1. Although some will tell you that medical care here is very inexpensive and it is compared to USA prices, it's not all inexpensive. If you need medical tests like an MRI, or you fall and break your leg, no big deal. But here are two examples from my friends I can tell you about so you can think about how you would pay for them. One friend suddenly needed a Stent last year. The cost was $354,935 pesos, or $18,150 USD at today's rate. Five years ago or more another friend was fortunate to survive an aneurysm, but had no insurance. She was a snowbird. She had several surgeries, spent weeks in intensive care at one of the top hospitals in Guadalajara, then weeks in the regular rooms. Then needed 24/7 care at home for weeks until she could look after herself again. She told me back then it all cost her almost $500,000 Canadian dollars. Imagine what it would be now in 2024. So think hard about how you'll handle your health care. Some people here use the address of a family member in the United States to fool their health care insurers into thinking they live there, when they actually live here full time. I call that insurance fraud, would you?
  2. An excellent painter is Enrique Pineda and his crew. Call 333 440 6364. He provides a 5 year warranty on his work too. His English is excellent.
  3. A friend who tested there yesterday had her results emailed to her within an hour.
  4. Why are the local residents supposed to be looking for a new location? Is it not the responsibility of the municipality to find a suitable location? Are the local residents and neighbors supposed to find and buy land for this shelter? That will never happen. The municipality needs to be responsible for and correct the mistake they made by placing this shelter in a high density housing area.
  5. Is that the Royal "we"? Or are you offering your help to work to get them all adopted?
  6. This post is two years old. It would be better to start your own new post.
  7. Being bilingual must have made it much easier for you when you reported the animal neglect to the numbers and emails at the top of the post. What response did you get from them? Maybe your report is what helped the horses be removed.
  8. Call Bettina, their rep., at 766-1049 or 331.210.7723
  9. We also used E2 Energias ( now SmartPV ) and had excellent service and a price 1800 USD lower than eSun's quote. We would highly recommend them.
