I can't get my Mexican credit card or debit card to be accepted for payment. Also my U.S. credit card is not accepted. Think I go and talk to my Mexican bank. Something like this has happened before!

I'm looking for a shop/retailer that can supply the crossbars, mounting brackets and a cargo basket for a 2021 Ford Escape. Amazon MX and Mercado Libre MX have some but not not all the parts I need. I know all the required part numbers. Where can I purchase Thule equipment locally or in the Guadalajara area?

How do I add my RFC number to my CFE bill?
Cincy replied to Cincy's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
It seems to be a requirement when selling a house in Mexico. Realtors keep asking for a recent CFE and Telmex bill with a RFC number referenced. Telmex was easy, just logon to your account and add it yourself. Had to go into CFE in Chapala today and have it added to their bill but it was very easy and only took a few minutes! -
How do I get my RFC number added to my CFE bill? Do I need to go to their office in person?

Rent car or rely on taxis while visiting
Cincy replied to CalamariKid's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
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...!!!

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

Flu Shots - Where to get them and how much?
Cincy replied to Cincy's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
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. -
Flu Shots - Where to get them and how much?

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?

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?

Mazamitla - Recommendations for a nice cabin?
Cincy replied to Cincy's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
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... -
Would anyone like to suggest a nice cabin to rent for 2 people and 2 small dogs for a mid-week getaway in the Mazamitla area? We live in Ajijic and would be driving ourselves there. Been looking on AirBnB, VRBO, Expedia, etc., but just wondered if perhaps there's any private cabins available, not listed on the big internet booking sites.

So, You're Thinking Of Moving Here To Paradise. eh?
Cincy replied to AngusMactavish's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I've lived in Ajijic for 2 years now and have often wondered whether some (certainly not all...) of the, "old white people", as you refer to them, are really happy living or visiting here! So many gringos appear to scowl at me when I try and say hello or hola. I understand when we get older our faces may tend to sag a little and adopt a more grim look and our memory fades and we may forget we met a passing person at some gathering a week ago and we should know each other well enough to beam big smiles at each other. I learned on day one that saying, "Buenos dias" to a passing Mexican stranger can ignite the same response of meeting a old, long lost childhood friend. I like this place more than anywhere I have lived in Europe or North America, and it's because of the local people who have never wronged me, but I have to side with AngusMactavish and his only complaint as stated above. -
Enjoy the Royal Wedding tomorrow. Should be a fun time to be England. Oh, and for a double treat, the FA Cup Final...!!!

I'm thinking just "go for it!". I've driven to all sorts of non-touristy, off-the-beaten-track, places in Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit without any problems and I've lived here long enough to understand about being sensible when exploring Mexico. Maybe my biggest concern is breaking down with such an old vehicle and 253,000 miles on the odometer... Anyway, I'm going to look at hotels in the Patzcuaro area...
