  3. A friend of mine just received a western Union transfer for 1000 dollars ( US )...it seems to be above local ( Guad also ) western Union limits...it was a birthday gift so he hates to reverse the process and get two smaller ones ....any ideas ? ..thanks Ian
  4. Excellent....everything I would hope to find in a local or beach front casual seafood bistro/ cafe but seldom do .Service was good ,plenty of innovative menu choices, well priced and a decent wine pour ...
  5. Technician came Saturday realigned the satellite dish slightly… All channels back to normal .
  6. I believe the fish farm near Mezcala has changed to catfish ,as they get more money for “ bagre “ than they do for tilapia. Either way I would use them both if we didn’t have such a wonderful selection of fresh fish that I am familiar with at Costa Allegra fishmongers .
  7. At least two or three days a week I see a fisherman coming ashore with at least a wheel barrow full.. most Wednesdays at the Ajijic tianqui see it for sale still alive . So you have a choice China or the lake…Hobsons choice , My mother would have said .

  12. The U K announced this past week they have trained over 80,000 health care professionals to administer the vaccines... the US under a new president promises 100 million in a hundred days ...Mexico ...everyone over 65 by March / April...only time ,supply and logistics are in question...until if and when it’s all up to you.... ?
  13. A few days ago it cost us around 1000 pesos in gas and well over 500 pesos in tolls plus obviously the same on our return trip, not to mention the cost of a driver if necessary ...so good luck with the 600 ...
  14. Parking lot across the street ( private ) 15 pesos ...2 hours or less
  15. BOTH .......trendy cooking ingredient plus ancient remedy for just about anything.
  16. I believe black cumin is the same as nigella seeds which are easier to find , they have become very popular with bread bakers and are often sprinkled on salads .
  17. Mexi? .... Perhaps it may just help the local restaurants , artisans and retail stores etc .etc . as they have suffered so much this past year instead of thinking of your temporary traffic problems,,, in case you haven’t noticed the restaurants , villages streets , the plaza , malecon etc are pretty much deserted . ..it’s not just about you .
