    So how does that explain the rising cost of living in GDL with 5 million people in the Metropolitan area and not that many foreigners to affect any thing.  COL is going up everywhere and restaurants of the same type of foods and degree of quality or more expensive in GDL than the Chapala area.  Most all the horde of Tapatios that come here on the weekends, holidays, and fiestas think this place is a real bargain.  Even the real estate prices are lower,  if you compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.  10,000 vehicles that come here just about every weekend from the big city, are not coming because it´s too expensive.

    My rent was 1000 a month until an American offered 13000 a month a 30% increase

    This is not a sewer water leak.

    I'm going some backtracking of it on my own, but if I find where the water is actually exiting the underside of the slab, I need a plumber, especially one with the equipment to detect where the leak is. This is a very specialized process.

    I'm pretty sure it came as a result of earth movement because the alignment of a gate post changed about 1/4" in the last week.

    Any personal knowledge or reference will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    It could easily be a Spring coming up

    I need to be able to mail envelopes to the U.S. occasionally. Nothing that needs FedEx, etc.

    I know there are a few places here that do it but I don't know how long the letter actually takes. I understand they go from here to Texas and then put into the USPS service.

    What would be my best bet on a per-item basis? I don't need a PMB, just some outdoing mail.

    Any personal experiences/recommendations?

    Thanks.

    If you are not I a hurry, slow but cheap regular correo de Mexico

    Really? I hate driving in Guadalajara because a lot of the signs are obscured by foliage and I don't have GPS. I also used Luzma for my renewal and, as already stated, she made it very easy and comfortable. BTW, some road construction made it difficult for HER to figure it out on the way home... I'd still be lost. And I do speak enough Spanish to do it myself. Anyone who has mobility issues will also find her service invaluable since she offered to drop me off at the door which wasn't necessary. She finally found a parking spot a couple of blocks away.

    Each to his/her own.

    You should get a restricted driver licence NO driving in Guad

    If anyone needs to get a Mexican Driver’s License, it can be quite a hassle, without the excellent assistance of Luzma Grande.  I have heard horror stories of people waiting in the line for up to 6 hours to get a license.  Wanting to avoid these problems, I called Luzma at 376-766-1562.  She informed me of all the documents and copies I would need, and drove me over to Guadalajara to get the license.  She made it simple by informing me of all the steps along the way.  When we arrived, there were long lines, but since I am over 60 years old, I was allowed to go to the front of the line.  To make a long story short, I was in and out in less than an hour with a New Mexican Driver’s license.  Luzma made it easy by sending me a study manual.  If you have a valid license from your country, you will not need to take a road test.  The written test is done on a touch screen computer.

     

    I am so thankful for Luzma’s help.  First, I would have never found the Driver’s License Office on my own.  Second, I would have stood in line for hours not knowing what to do.  Luzma went into the office with me, and explained to them what I needed and that I did not speak Spanish and that I would need help getting to each step along the way.  The staff was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction along the way.

     

    I think Luzma Grande gave me excellent assistance, and she was well worth the fee she charged.  I would recommend her to anyone needing a Mexican Driver’s License.  If you need help in getting a Mexican Driver’s License, call Luzma Grande at 376-766-1562.

    If you can not find the driver licence office you should not have a driver licence!
