  • Retired life in Ajijic, Mexico on Lake Chapala. RV Life. Projects in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in a 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today. :)

      You must have missed the that part of life's lessons when “Use it or lose it” was taught. Relaxing is a step towards the loss of muscles and brain cells. :)

    Good point about the slipperyness of some tile! Definitely a danger, especially for senior citizens!

      In 2006 two hurricanes one from the Pacific and one from the Gulf me here and filled up the lake. We need it. We'll take the rain. At a mile above sea level the hurricane wind forces don't make it up here into the mountains.

      Imagine the Lake reaching previous levels, glad to hear about the wind. There's still some water in Death Valley from that freak hurricane that missed us in San Diego. We enjoy your videos, glad you care to make them. :)

      I’ve searched for a comment from you. I do read them and remember when we met for lunch … 5 years ago? I'm writing because you asked about a house 3 weeks ago. I just saw the question tonight as I reviewed comments that are held for review and not published publically. Website urls are blocked from public comments and I can't reply to them. I definitely recognize the house. I can see it from my house. It’s the highest on this west side of Ajijic and used to be owned by Sally who declared herself to be queen of the hill. I think there are three houses up there and an old gold mine. Send me an email if you get this. JCTRAVELSTORIES@gmail.com

      Not possible. The Spanish dug out the end of the lake to create farm land on the shore. I'd love it if it got to my 6 ft seawall. :)

    Cannot wait to get back for the rainy season. We've been stuck in hot, humid Texas. Hubby had emergency double Bypass while here on a short vacation. About 2 more wks and we should be back. BTW, I love the tile! Blessing to you and Lynn. ❤

    A lot of the older Florida houses were built around a swimming pool in sort of a U shape. Your plowing dispute with Ms Lynn reminds me of all the times I tried to help hubby back our camping trailer into a tight spot 😂

    So Jerry, I gotta ask why you don’t put some screening in the cupola? Besides the bugs being attracted to the light aren’t the bats attracted to the bugs? You know.. the trickle down effect. Twice when staying in Mexico we had bats because of no screens. Another time an owner of the place we rented asked us no to keep the outside lights on because the bats splashed their poop on the side of the house. Sure enough, he was right. So happy for the marvelous rain you’re getting. Our rivers are at flood stage.

    • @JCTravelStories
      @JCTravelStories  Před 28 dny +1

      Two reasons for no screen. 1. ). A screen restricts the air flow for the cooling effect. 2). The opening allows me to change the light bulb from the roof instead of climbing getting a 20 ft ladder from the stairway below. The bats here leave poop on the house regularly. We've only had one in the house in 20 years and it came through an open door. They're fruit bats not vampires. They eat mosquitoes. They are welcome here.

      There's a tile store in Chapala across the road from Soriana. A couple of doors north of the street the Chapala tiangus starts on. Great selection of tiles. That's where I bought mine.
