  1. Mexican voter registration and national identification card.
  2. I recently ordered the Artemis Fowl 8-book series as a Christmas gift for our gardener's grandson, who has developed a love of reading. The order arrived in English, instead of the Spanish editions I selected. If you have English-speaking grandsons (this is a VERY popular series for boys, ages 8-12) who are coming for Christmas and you'd like to have them, please message me. Otherwise, I'll donate to Wilkes.
  3. Dr. Martha Medina on the corner of Constitución and Ramón Corona is an endodontist who brings in from Guadalajara a terrific periodontist on Tuesdays, Dr. Javier Vásquez Vásquez. Spouse is starting on third implant with him and most highly recommends them both. Tel 376-766-4503
  4. Yes, "called" via the Uber app to pick me up from auto dealership and they brought me back. About $800 mid-morning, on a Friday.
  5. I understand that; however, if someone has had to get a new passport as did I, s/he may encounter the issue I did. The feds couldn't help me; it was only by having a copy of my own prior (and canceled/replaced) passport did I solve the riddle on my own. Otherwise, this would have been a derailing step.
  6. I needed the local one (in Chapala; I remember the fee being an odd amount, something like $116mx?) and the federal one is from CDMX. I was initially denied the federal as Mexico's records showed me with two foreign passports: technically correct because over the years I had to have my foreign passport renewed and the Mexico computer records showed both. Even with the dates showing one passport was a replacement due to expiry, they wouldn't budge. I had to Uber all over the city and pay a substantial sum to get the consulate to write a letter verifying that one passport replaced the other. Still had to return a second trip...the expense of two flights. As they say, "Nothing is ever easy."
  7. Juan is the manager of La Fiesta, which is moving from its current location (and Blue Rose Bistro's original home) on the carretera to its expanded new digs in the old Don Pedro space next to the French Bakery and across the street from the Brew House on the carretera in West Ajijic, just west of the Panteón. Based on a conversation several days ago, I believe Angela, who owns Blue Rose and La Fiesta, is still on track for a soft opening coming up the first week of October. Angela has a post on the facebook restaurant page under Blue Rose Bistro/La Fiesta Restaurant. It's going to be a lovely new spot.
  8. The INE electoral guide for 2024 is quite comprehensive. https://centralelectoral.ine.mx/2023/08/13/plan-integral-y-calendario-del-proceso-electoral-federal-2023-2024/ 2 de junio. Elección de senadurías, diputaciones y presidente de México
  9. Plaza Patria is a great location for passports--there is a very on-the-ball woman there who sets the lines, pre-checks docs, and brings organization to an otherwise chaotic governmental facility. It's a wait, for sure, but impressively organized. And you can go to City Market, restaurante Chai, Dairy Queen, and other jewels while you are there!
  10. Throttled here in W Ajijic, but we do have service. I guess I shouldn't complain.
  11. The law has changed several times since the mid-1950s. Most recently, in 1998, Mexico permits Mexican citizens to have more than one (Mexican nationality). As for renouncing other citizenships, I asked and was told that the distinction applies to being on Mexican soil. As a Mexican within Mexico, you abide by the laws and benefits, and cannot claim another. So, break a Mexican law as a dual citizen, means you are treated as a Mexican citizen. Here's the text: Desde 1998 la Ley de Nacionalidad de México permite que las personas mexicanas cuenten con otra nacionalidad además de la mexicana. Este hecho reviste gran relevancia porque, en efecto, la doble (o múltiple) nacionalidad implica una ampliación de derechos para la persona que cuenta con ella.
  12. We had no issues this weekend with the HSBC ATMs. The screens have been updated with 4/c background images but the prompts are in the same order, same buttons, as before.
