I found a place where the streets are wide and open, the parking is free, the shopping is wonderful, and there are no speed bumps to break your teeth. There are restaurants everywhere, the people are friendly and we don't have to fend off the car-washers or the guy selling wiper blades in front of MBE .  There are no burned out traffic lights here, and driving, once again, is a pleasure instead of being dangerous. 

 

The installation of parking meters in downtown Chapala was the beginning of the end. It made me focus on all the things we used ot have in the States, and one day, I just picked up the phone and called a realtor in Florida. We never drove back to Chapala unless we absolutely had to. 

I have to hand it to Telecable tech support. This is for real. I walked into their office and said my Internet was down since 7:30 the previous evening. To my surprise, the tech followed me back to my house, switched out the modem, and when it didn't come up, he retrieved a cable tester and flunked his own line. Within 2 hours of my initial visit they had traced the problem to a loose connector and I was back up and running. I was very much impressed by Sergio and the other techs that converged on the house. Wow! 

I now have a paper shredder. Thank you very much everyone!! :-)

The lady in the check out line before me caught an overcharge in the 20 peso range. I wonder how many have slid past me?
When I give them a 500 pesos note I typically hold it up to the light and pretend I'm checking for a phony bill, laugh and hand it to them. Maybe the big show works. As for Walmart in general, too much of their merchandise poorly manufactured (hoses that kink, paint brushes that throw bristles into a fresh coat of paint, shower heads that crack, bags that rip, compact fluorescents that burn out in 3 months) so I stick to brand names and products made in China. I'm going to check my receipts after purchases from now on. Thanks everybody for posting.

I can't find the delete button!
This car is sold.
