  1. I was thinking about mentioning the other board. But it is a rather low traffic board and its members are comprised of many who were banned from Chapala.com for their nasty child like comments. They are mostly a like minded group who have run off most people who have opposing ideas. Their Octagon section has few rules and that is where the close minded bullies tend to hang out. You won't see a lot of differeng opinions on that board. You could check out expatforum.com and go to the Mexico section. They have people living all over Mexico there.
  2. I think your idea of creating a video series of expat life in this area would be really interesting. I would definitely watch it. Sorry for the silly arguing. Just some of these nasty intolerant people really rub me the wrong way. I did not mean to hijack your thread.
  3. Virgo lady, just because someone has an independent mind and questions things and are not so quick to believe everything they see or hear on the internet does not make them a Trump supporter or someone who carries confederate flags. What is wrong with you? And no, so far I have not had any variant of Covid that I am aware of, so I guess that article of yours about Covid shrinking peoples brains would not apply to me.
  4. Did I read that correctly? Half your post was indiscriminate swearing?
  5. Virgo lady, you certainly have an air about yourself that is very odious and nasty. You tend to say the most vile and horrible things to just about anybody on this forum that disagree with you and you are not diplomatic in the least. The fear of Covid and the whole isolation issue has not been kind to you. It turned you into an angry solitairy and bitter human.
  6. I think I am beginning to see a pattern here. The people on this board who are the most gung ho and most hard core when it comes to mandates and Covid protocols are also the nastiest by far. And Virgo lady wears the crown. Maybe all that social distancing, isolation and mask wearing isn't working for some folks. Go outside your home, breath in some fresh air, live your life and try to find happiness again!
  7. Virgo try to support your fellow Canadians. No need to be nasty to everybody on this board, keep it to those that you really detest.
  8. Thats sad news since it just opened up maybe 2 months or more ago. But I'm glad your guests enjoyed it. Hopefully another competent person will open up a good restaurant in its place.
  9. I know someone who is a Ham Radio operator down here. He got his reciprocal license 10 years ago when they were giving them out. Its expired now but still he hasn't had any problems with any authorities yet. He ordered a beam antenna from a company in the States and they delivered it here and had a ham engineer in Guadalajara come and install it for him on his mirador. Its working great and still no problems after 4 years, knock on wood though. But it is quite obvious. Once he hears that they are issueing reciprocal licenses again, of course he'll go to the Zapopan office and renew.
  10. This article is an interesting read to understand vanilla extract vs other options. https://queen.com.au/vanilla-extract-vanilla-essence-whats-difference/
  11. Of how to break those 500 peso bills sometimes depends on lifestyle. If you live in a fraccionamiento, and each time you leave your home it will frequently if not most times be in your car depending on where you live. To get your groceries often times will be at a big box office store like Walmart where you mostly might pay with a debit card. If you live in one of the towns you most often times will be walking and buying at the mom and pop stores. I live in Chapala so I usually have a general idea if I only have a 500 peso note where to stop first when shopping. Who will mostly have change and who mostly won't. I usually end up with lots of smaller bills that way, easy peazy, you must shop at many different places to get what you would get at just one location like Walmart, but it is usually better and fresher and you are helping out the smaller guys, it is all based on preference and lifestyle.
  12. Avenida Madero and Las Redes. Redes just means nets, it could mean networks or even internet. But in the case of the neighborhood Las Redes it just means fisherman nets. Haha. You got to love auto-translate.
  13. I think you mean pure vanilla extract instead of imitation flavored vanilla because isn't all real vanilla basically an extract cause they have to extract the essence from the beans. Its not like you can just squeeze the pure vanilla juice out of the beans as you would an orange, it doesn't work that way.
  14. Perhaps the current policy of hugs without bullets is not working.
  15. Don't worry folks this entire thread will soon get deleted by the OP if he doesn't get favorable responses. Why bother?
  16. No, it is certainly not overkill. The way I understand the UV light and RO (we have both by the way) is that the UV light kills or neutralizes all the pathogens and amoebas in the water but does not filter out all the contaminents, poisons, and natural occuring cyanide in the well water nor anything else that may be floating around in the water. That is where RO comes into play. RO provides perfectly clean and pure drinking water while UV provides water safe enough to shower and bath in. That is how I have understood the differences. But sure plenty of people only have UV and manage to stay healthy. Its your choice.
  17. We ate there a couple weeks ago and found the staff very pleasant and attentive and thought the food was pretty good nobody in my party complained about anything. But maybe since its in Chapala, some folks here might not feel it stacks up againsts the high quality and variety of restaurants in Ajijic. But we all enjoyed it and would go back. Remember they are a fairly new restaurant, give them time to iron out the few wrinkles if there are any. We didn't see anything to complain about though.
  18. Well I would suggest head to Villa Monet on a Saturday night for a few drinks in a quiet environment surrounded by a gorgeous architectural ambience where Elizabeth Taylor spent some time living there. Then when the music cranks up head to the Beer Garden for its spectacular views of the lake and the fun atmosphere. Try to go when John Fisher is singing. He seems to sing every other week. That would make a good night out. Or do it in the reverse, eat at Villa Monet for the ambience and later head over to the Beer Garden for a few drinks.
  19. There are no restaurants on the Chapala pier unless you are referring to La Papala del Guayabo and I wouldn't consider that a pier. Just a restaurant on stilts. Cozumel seems to be the most popular for the gringo folks. Saturday night at the Beer Garden when John Fisher sings can be fun.
  20. With all the tons of restaurants around here you could not find a single place to eat?
  21. Actually I am wrong. I went by and checked with Alberto today. His schedule is 8 to 4:30. I think he may have recently shortened it because I remember for awhile he would stay open till at least 5:30. But thst was awhile back.
  22. I think they usually stay open till 5:30 and sometimes 6.
  23. I would try contacting Dr. Sam Thelin, I doubt he is licensed in the US but he might know a colleague who is.
  24. It is real simple to find. Walk the malecón starting at the Beer Garden, walk west towards the big white sail. Half way down walking past the Beer Garden, Perla Negra, and another restaurant that I forget its name. You will be outside a gorgeous large palace like home. The entrance is small but will have a sign outside saying Villa Monet.
