MORE LAKE CHAPALA VIEWER COMMENTS
About your DVD..wonderful! Does it make me want to move there? Oh, si senor!
In general, you have given the whole area an aura of casual luxury in a wonderful "warts and all" approach. Your pictures are, clean, clear, vibrant, and, above all, interesting! You have depicted the area as ethnic, cultural, relaxed. The pictures of the foods in the market, the white boats floating on blue waters with red flowers in hanging baskets made me want to walk right in! The section on restaurants made me hungry!
You portrayed the people as beautiful, happy, family oriented and loving, and their way of life as full of color and pageantry. You made good use of children and of non-Mexicans. And, the colors! My gosh, the colors! In parades, dances, flowers, churches, landscapes! Wonderful!
Last but not least, the use of wonderful transitional effects made the pictures flow together and kept the interest of this viewer! And, the calm, mellow, relaxed voice describing all of this wonder just is plain soothing... inviting... humorous...and honest.

FAQ- How much does it cost to live to live at Lake Chapala? The following information is provided as a general reference only.
House rentals are available from about $350.00 to
$2,000 per month. This depends on location, size and amenities. You can find a very comfortable 2br 2 bath home from about $600 to $900 dollars per month, plus utilities.
Bed and Breakfasts accommodations range from $35.00 per night to over $150.00. E-mail us for recommendations if you like. contact We will give you a complete overview without prejudice.
The price varies by property amenities but in all that we have viewed they all are well maintained and differ only with the frills or no frills they offer.
House Prices The average sales price of homes in 2009 was $195,000. Most all homes are cash sales. Mortgages, with very high interest, very high down payments and very short terms are far from attractive alternatives. Taxes on homes of 2 to 3 hundred thousand dollars are less than $300.00 per year. Maids work for about $3.50 per hour. Gardeners
the same and plumbers about $5.00 per hour. Electric $50-$100. Phone basic $20.00. Internet about $40.00. A complete look at the real estate market, prices, trends, mortgages, number of sales is included in the Real Estate show on the DVD.
Restaurants. Entrees average $8.00 to $10.00. Lunch $5.00 to $10.00. Breakfast $4.25. Beverages, soft drinks, $1.40, beer $2.00, margaritas $3.50. All U.S. dollars.
Car rentals about $40.00 per day, monthly rentals are available at a much lower cost.
Doctors office charge $13.50 Specialist $42 to $48. Gall bladder surgery including all hospital and miscellaneous charges $4.000. Cataract surgery including lens in plant, $1200.00. Angiogram, all charges except stints if necessary, about $5,000.
A couple can live very well at Lake Chapala, have satellite TV, Internet, once a week maid, 4 or 5, three day travel escapes a year, normal dental and medical expenses, dine out 2 to 3 times a week, for as little as $2,000 to $2,500. I will add you can certainly spend a lot more if you want.
Groceries are a personal choice so here I will only say buying imported U.S. products is much higher than buying similar products made in Mexico. Fruits and Vegetables are much cheaper and much fresher.
FAQ-Can I get prints of your Lake Chapala Pictures?
Yes, Please specify the category you are interested in having and we will send you jpeg images of our most popular pictures. Examples, 1. Lake Views, 2. The hot air balloon regatta, 3. Ajijic or....

FAQ-Re: My DVD player won't play the DVD, why not?
The first thing to do is check your DVD players menu. Many will have multiple playback options, such as extended playback, normal playback or other options. In most cases selecting an alternative playback option will correct the problem. Interestingly, most all of the less expensive DVD players on the market that do not have all the bells and whistles, will play everything you can put in them.
It should be noted though, that it is an established fact, that all DVD players may have problems playing back one DVD or another. If you're ever having trouble playing back a DVD, try it again on another DVD player and if that doesn't work contact us.
