On all our pre-retirement visits (4) to Ajijic my wife and I rented a car at the airport and drove all over the place from Guadalajara centro to Manzanillo on the coast and back. Looking back I would do the same again. Also, we walked many miles around the streets of Ajijic, San Antonio, Rancho del Oro and even up into the mountains. Driving is a little different here and can be somewhat stressful at times. If you feel confident driving in unfamiliar surroundings do consider renting a small car...

When driving west, you can drive down the bicycle path to avoid the topes...!!! No, no, no I would never do that, but being a frequent driver of that stretch of road I've noticed it's becoming a common, and potentially very dangerous, practice...!!!

Yes, maybe, but it could also have some criminal intent, such as someone looking for potential property break-in opportunities.

About 6:00pm last night (Friday, January 4) a medium sized drone was sighted above the Calle Emilliano Zapata. It was moving about slowly then became stationary in front of my house. I could see a red light on it. Very suspicious I thought, so I went to get my camera and a zoom lens but it was gone 30 seconds later. Should this be cause to call the police? I think drones are cool things to have, but, snooping around neighborhoods does not seem an appropriate use for them!

By my calculations, during October, the lake has been rising at an average of .66 inches (16.7 mm) a day. Right now it's slowed down to an average rise of .39 inches (10 mm) a day. Source: https://www.ceajalisco.gob.mx/contenido/chapala/chapala/comportamiento.html

Chapala Med is asking for a deposit before they can order any shots then it will be 1-2 weeks for delivery. Last year it cost $350 MXN at Chapala Med.

What/where is the "Health Dept"?

Does anyone have an insight on the best place to get a flu shot and how much it might cost?

Solved...!!!

I have 2 thin manila envelopes both containing two 8.5" x 11" sheets of papers that need to be mailed in the U.S. They are marked "U.S. Postage Paid" Would anyone heading North soon be willing to mail them for me in the U.S.? I live in Ajijic and could deliver them to you; just about anywhere...

From 2 years ago...

Last year, Danny made me an impressive custom steel door with an arched top and I would like him to do some more work but I can't find his contact info. Anyone know where I can find this guy?

Anyone know this dog? Male Initially very shy and unapproachable but now very friendly and playful. Clean and looks well cared for. Maybe 15lbs?

I agree, Jreboll. I think we've found a nice AirBnB place for ~$2,000 MXN a night on what appears to be a private access community of cabins on the North side of Matzamitla. We'll see in two weeks...
