My friend, Karen, has purchased a home in another Mexican state and recently closed on it. She's just learned that they do not permit what they deem "aggressive" breeds in her fracc. As you can imagine, she's heart broken as she's invested significantly in her new home and now must find a home for her fur baby. She is a 4 year old Pit Bull, spayed, has her collar/leash, food, food bowl, toy and is loving. The only caveat is, she doesn't do well with cats. If anyone would like to adopt her, please send me a P.M. and I'll give you Karen's contact information. And yes, before the in

Deeply saddened to read this unexpected news about the loss of Richard Tingen. Although I was just an acquaintance, I always found him to be kind, charming and charismatic. I certainly do enjoy the monthly Ojo Del Lago which he created and have tremendous admiration and respect for him. So very sorry for this loss, thinking of his family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace, Mr. Tingen. Val Jones

Thanks! I ended up having La Paceña deliver and it was delicious! Cheers and Salud, Val

Happy New Year, everyone. I've tried calling Adelita's, Cocinart, Tango, Panino's and Yves but they're all closed. Does anyone know if someone is open for ordering to-go lunch today? Thanks, Val

Thanks for the input and information. I’m all for him following safety measures. Salud! Val 😀

Before moving to Mexico, my husband enjoyed flying ultralights but it was something that was just too large to try and ship down to Ajijic so he sold his two ultralights. He's now interested in returning to the sport. Does anyone know how to contact the Ultralight Park located on the road going towards Vista de Lago? With COVID, we don't want to drive out there for an in-person contact, but are hoping someone either knows a phone number, contact person and/or internet site where we can learn more about their enrollment options, fees, how to buy and get an ultralight in Mexico, etc. As

Looks GREAT! Cheers! Val

Once about 10 years ago, I had to buy a return ticket when checking in at the Delta counter in Atlanta. I bought a First Class ticket so I could cancel without any penalty. I'd never had to do it before nor since. I have been asked for a return to the US date and just make one up. When pushed further, I explain I'm driving back instead of flying. So far, that seems to satisfy them. Stay safe! Val Jones

After conducting interviews in the last 2 weeks for a friend in search of a care-taker, I am happy to share the information of two excellent candidates that did not get the job. We were fortunate to have interviewed many top-notch people for this position. Both seemed enthusiastic and eager to work. Antonio Villafan, 44 years old, has many certificates and references. 333-240-7745 Alex (Alejandro) Mercado Gamez, 45 years old, also with many recommendations and experience. 333-901-6912 I wish you luck in your search and hope you find the right person for your needs. Che

Or try Alex Mercado Gamez at 333-901-6912. He also does aljibe cleaning, painting, gardening and is an enthusiastic worker. He speaks great English as well. Cheers! Val

Does anyone know what the percentage of duty/customs tax would be on a new iMac computer being brought into Mexico from the U.S.? Thanks! Val Jones

I'll send you a P.M. Val

I checked with my Agent at GNP Health Insurance and he confirmed that my policy DOES cover COVID-19 treatment(s). He also texted me yesterday to tell me the San Antonio Hospital now accepts my GNP Health Insurance. Stay safe, everyone. Val

Grateful I have health insurance, these are very high costs. Stay safe everyone! Val
