  1. Miguel is back in business in Chapala. His shop is at Lopez Cotilla 329-C and his phone number is 333 029 9896. He had many loyal customers when he was located at Plaza Bugambilias in Ajijic before he relocated to the US.
  2. Please help support The Ranch by attending this event. The Ranch cares for up to 100 dogs. At the bottom of the ad, you will see where to purchase tickets. Unbeknownst to Its Kinda Bazar and this author, the day tickets were dropped off to sell, the city tore up the road in front of their store. There is parking across the street if not on the same side. Please support them whether you purchase your tickets there or not. They will need the business during this difficult situation. It would be nice to repay their kindness to us. REMEMBER: You can only make a reservation for a table of 8 AFTER you have purchased your tickets. Otherwise, when you arrive, you will sit anywhere, upstairs, or down and make new friends. We will open the doors at 4:45 if you want to come early.
  3. Good link, Ferret. Thanks. I used it in the Opera browser with its built-in VPN and got results in English
  4. It looks brutal. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Guadalajara+Jalisco+Mexico?canonicalCityId=2c0429afd28897d5f015f7ac3b978c3c567e7757de67d5b6e2cdf4ddda70240f
  5. More details, please. I would like to know the date and time, and also the venue. Thank you.
  6. If you can't find one and can wait until next week, José was at the Ajijic tianguis today. He has a booth near the carretera on the east side of Revolucion.
  7. I will be taking some guests to Tonala and Tlaquepaque soon and would appreciate any helpful information that you can provide. It's been six years since I was there and that trip was on a bus. I would like information on parking, places to see, things to do, that kind of thing. Any other tips would be appreciated as well.
  8. Dr. Sam Thelin. I saw him a week ago at his new location in Riberas. The office opens at 4pm on Mondays. https://drthelin.com/
  9. Mexico Is Subsidizing 35% of Fuel Costs Thanks to Oil Bonanza. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mexico-subsidizing-35-fuel-costs-155108447.html
  10. The testing center is directly to your left from Highway 35. Hidalgo appears to be the lateral. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Centro+Laguna,+Libramiento+A+Chapala,+San+Antonio+Tlayacapan,+Ajijic,+Jalisco/Centro+de+verificación+Responsable,+20+de+Noviembre+545,+El+Nuevo+Fuerte,+47899+Ocotlán,+Jal./@20.3331076,-102.7748677,19.33z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x842f414aa10778d1:0x6ee6c8566c4451dc!2m2!1d-103.2432272!2d20.2987209!1m5!1m1!1s0x842edf783d808259:0x1bffbb578ffabe1a!2m2!1d-102.7744782!2d20.3329948!3e0
  11. It may be helpful for you to know that you may have to return for another inspection before a year goes by. For instance, my license plate ends in the number eight and I will need to go back for another inspection in September or October. After that, the inspection will be on a yearly basis. This is a photo of a poster at the inspection station.
  12. I was at the emissions testing site in Ocotlan yesterday. The service was efficient and friendly. In and out in about 40 minutes.
  13. Here is a recent thread about Villa Monet.
  14. Día de la Constitución. http://www.bajainsider.com/article/dia-de-la-constitucion-constitution-day-february-5
  15. Here is the lunch/dinner menu from their FB page. The breakfast, drink and dessert menus are also posted there.
  16. I was in close contact on December 26 with someone that subsequently developed COVID on January 3. I just found out about it at 4 pm today. I did not think there was much chance that I was infected, but wanted to be certain. I drove to Walmart and waited in line to get tested. It took about half an hour. I was back home ar 4:45. I got the email around 6 pm saying that the test was negative. One thing of interest was that the woman doing the testing told me that they are getting about 100 positives a day. These are the same two women that administered the test for my trip to the US in early October. They are very efficient. They tested about 20 people while I was there. All were Mexicans, I was the only gringo.
  17. This information is from Sonia Diaz's website. Under Mexican Consulate Pre-approval: "You must tell the consulate staff you intend to retire." Under Permanent Resident Visa: "Some consulates will not provide Permanent Resident pre-approval to those under retirement age. For those who are Temporary Residents and living in Mexico, you may become a Permanent Resident in less than 4 years if of retirement age." You can see her website here: http://www.soniadiaz.mx/immigration---visas.html
  18. I used to patronize Canela's Cafe, then the burrito place that closed. There's a farmacia there now. On the other end is the piroshki place and a plastic surgeon in between. They also rent rooms. They have never charged me so I guess I've been lucky.
  19. I don't pay for parking when I patronize a business there.
  20. One of my neighbors had a Canadian plated car that she donated to Cruz Roja. It did take several weeks to finalize. This was in the last 2-3 months. She now has a car with Mexican plates. All of this was accomplished without her leaving Chapala. I do not know the details of the donation.
  21. Luis is the guy in the photo on the right in the red boat. He is a fishing guide and he owns the pet store on Zargoza in Chapala. You can get in touch with him there. A friend of mine has caught a ten pound and an eleven pound three ounce bass in Lake Chapala. The largest one that I have caught was six pounds. Someone that has not caught a big bass before may be jealous and denigrate this great sport fish.
