Our personal story
SEE video link • WE CALL Ajijic / Lake...
My wife Lori and myself sold our home and our business in Hawaii and in 2006 we became homeless. Our goal was to travel around the world and "living the good life" are basic philosophy is
Fly First Class but PAY Coach Price "
We have enjoy our world tour of 37 countries in the last 25 years. In 2012 we returned back to the big Island of Hawaii and bought a small cottage. For 2 Years we using Hawaii as our home-base.
Lori is a girl after my own heart. Flexible. Adaptable. 💝💝
Lori a remarkable woman and a real survivor.
Its not only in your area, but several years back Acapulco experienced water outage and last month, I experienced water control of water outage for one day in different areas of Bogota. In Acapulco, our neighborhood had to walk to a certain area to get water. I think this happens in many areas not just your area.
Thank you Sandy you've been a faithful subscriber for over six years now. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of this.
Time to add an additional cistern and gutter system for collecting rainwater off the roof. You will be amazed at how much water you can collect with just a few storms.
I'm not exactly sure how much that would be but I'm gonna guess between $6000-$8000 I would rather avoid that they keep my toilet paper out of the cistern.
Appreciate you telling the situation as it is. It would be a shock to not understand before traveling to the area. I hope that the rain comes in and relieves the situation for all.
Thank for your comment. The rain has come back and the world is full. For now
Your video’s are informative and helpful. We should all be grateful, including the Mexican government that you share the reality of life in Mexico. Thank you for sharing the beauty and truth about our neighbouring country.
So nice of you
Thank you for being honest. I enjoy watching you both.
Thanks for watching!
I personally think everyone would benefit from having a backup composting toilet. Research because there is quite a variety of prices but they all work. Also some type of small gas or solar generator for the fridge. A rain barrel or 2 would help in the rainy season.
Hi there Jerry,, Rocky here, health issues caused me to return north. Good to see that you’re well.
Thank you Rocky for being our subscriber for over five years now.
I truly appreciate your honesty and love your videos
Thank you we want to report what's happening here in real time.
Are people starting my sell and move..?. It happened in Calgary Canada... different issue..but frightening... keep well
good stuff truth is always best... xoxox great video. And I still love the area.
Thanks so much!
Thank you Jerry and Lori for sharing this; it is actually an excellent informative video. Sometimes we take water for granted. Where we live in Central California we are on a community well and it's dependent on our local river. So we thank the LORD for our water and do our best to use water wisely. One thing I would like to say is that in Mexico cisterns are fairly common (at least in Ajijic/Chapala area). It is a wise practice to have a cistern! It would be wonderful if people in our state and country would follow suit. In a way many do with water storage tanks, ponds or pools. Getting water from the pool is a good idea. If you want to use the chlorinated water for your garden - leave it out in the sun in buckets and the chlorine will dissipate.
Thank you for your comment Lori I appreciate that very much
Been living in Cambodia for about 2 years. It’s the rainy season here now. Wish I could share some of that with you guys! 😎
Thank you for your time and posting a comment I don't see you on my subscriber list. We would love for you to subscribe do you know it's free.
@@JerryBrownTravels I went to your Jerry Brown Travels UA-cam channel and it shows I’m subscribed and the notifications bell is activated to receive all of your videos. Hmmm.
Another informative video. Thanks for the updates and showing us your home. You both are troopers. And thanks for being up front about what’s going on
I would be disappointed if I move to an area and people would keep in problems like this hidden away. When I do my relocation tour I am honest and upfront with the people. I'm not a real estate agent.
@@JerryBrownTravelsWe know Jerry You are always upfront. Many people say how much you’ve helped them It’s good to know you. Thanks. I love your videos. They’rt helpful , informative, professional and entertaining too. 👍 you are the “go to “ person when it comes to relocation.
Shower your ash with love. Install a bidet today!
No more gross poopy peanut butter toilet tissue paper in the waste basket.
OK
OK
Several SouthWesten STATEs are Experiencing the Same Problem 😮
.
It looks like more than I ever have one of problems in Mexico
Thanks for sharing not only the good, but the bad and the ugly. That’s life and a balanced look at it all is quite helpful.
I've always been the type of person that wants to learn from other peoples mistakes. Or life situations where they can do better and where I can do better my formula seems to be working for me. What is your formula?
@@JerryBrownTravels That’s an excellent formula Jerry. I too subscribe to that same formula. I also make sure to do my research on a place to find out about the living conditions, cost of living, what other expats have reported and most importantly, the visa and immigration policy on a place that interests me. After all, it matters not how great a place is if you can’t stay there longterm because the visa requirements are too strict and the cost of the retirement visa or temporary residency is too high like it is in Mexico.
Beautiful area. I was there 30 years ago. It was popular with expats then and apparently more so now. North Americans often don’t understand that “affordable country” means sacrifice. Our high taxes and wages in the first world pay for things like consistent water, electric, and even occasional road maintenance.
Bill thank you for your comment and thank you for being a subscriber for over six years now.
And you live right by the swimming pool 👍 Smart move. You can take a dip in the pool whenever it gets hot
I will take my ass in the swing pool and I will talk with the bucket of water that's clean or boil
@@JerryBrownTravels 👍 you look in good shape carrying those buckets. Slim and trim too
I only lived 8 months in Baja California in 2021 and the same thing was happening weekly 😢
I guess we're fortunate that it only happens to us monthly
Look at the bright side Jerry, you'll never run out of tequila, pulque, or mezcal there.😂
Thank you for that I definitely will remember that to the Waze news.
@@JerryBrownTravels You're very welcome Jerry.
Damn! I live in Chihuahua which is a huge desert and, in the neighborhood I live at the water municipality has never shut off the water supply, in spite of the terrible drought!
Thank You Thank You
@@JerryBrownTravels I´m going to ask around if there are also any water shortages in Las Brisas, San Nicolás de Ibarra and also Ixtlahuacán de Los Membrillos, as they are places of interest for me to buy. Thank you Jerry for the heads up,
Toilet paper is biodegradable and breaks down long before it will cause any issues.
Thank you for that tip.
For the electricity shortages why don you buy a generator at costco to produce your own electriciy with fuel?, for water shortages do you have a roof tinaco/water storage tank? like many people do in Mexico, collect the water coming from the roof in big plastic tanks during the rainny season, one single storm will give you enough water to keep you going for weeks, that is what people in rural Mexico used to do when I was a boy.
Thank you for taking the time to make that thoughtful helpful comment
Do any expats read the Guadalajara Reporter or newspapers like the Mexico News Daily March 18 , 2024. ? The have articles in English
Guadalajara reporter is available online and in stores throughout the Lakeside
@@JerryBrownTravels yes. Of course you know it’s in English and has a distribution office in Ajijic. And is available in different places in Lakeside as you said. One place is at the pharmacy just outside the Ajijic Plaza I read it every Friday when it comes out. Also The Laguna Press , it has an English section And other newspapers from Mexico The Daily Mexico News had an article about drought at Lake Chapala March 18 , 2024. Info is out there if people want to spend time reading. Thanks Jerry. I know you read also.
but you can also buy toilet paper safe for septic systems. its really thin but dissolves right away
Yes I know that and thank you but we think it's just as easy not flushing it down the toilet
Could you get rain barrels?
We do have rain barrels but we need a lot more rain coming off of the roof to fill them on a daily basis.
Are there areas / streets in Ajijic that are served by city water and city sewer? Are these areas affected by the water shortage? Can you identify a map of this area (I searched Google but could not find one)?
We appreciate you taking the time to make a comment.
lololol madness!!! Make sure you live next to a pool....
Thank you for subscribing for over six years now.
I thought you were getting a lot of rain this month.
We have started our rainy season and we are getting a lot of rain but the lake is still very low.
Please get you rainbarrels. $100 here in states for a great one. I am in NM - they should be mandatory.
We did get a large trashcan and was able to field by using the runoff from the world.
@@JerryBrownTravelsspell check 😊
5000l last approx 17 days. So city hasn’t distributed in weeks?
We are friends really getting water twice a month.
Wow, does this happen very often? Is it because of a drought? Everything looks very verdant still.
It's happening more and more each week along 15 miles of the Shoreline. The lake is low so the water table is low in the wheels are running dry. But now it's starting to rain
What is the (hopeful) solution to the water issue in the Chapala area? Will enough rain solve the problem?
When the lake gets to a higher level it will fill up the wells but the real problem is this growth here so many homes and developments and no new wells
I tried yellow is mellow in Queretaro but over time the hard water plus urine deposits a very hard-to-remove tartar in toilet.
Luckily our water doesn't run out that long that we would have that problem so far cross our fingers
Oh dear my heart bleeds for you. But I understand. I am lucky. The house where I reside had new pipes
Oh wow!
Can you collect rainwater?
Yes we do collect rainwater it's only good to flush the toilet and take showers we have to still use buckets.
Is there a drought in your area?
The Lake Chapala area has so much growth with all the new people moving in and building homes....but the water and electric infrastructure has not been updated to keep up. This is one of the reasons that area is a hard pass for us. Too many expats too...which has made it very expensive and the traffic terrible.
We've been getting a lot of rain and that's gonna help bringing up the level of the lake and then that will help the wells fill up with water it is a slow process.
You are hundred percent correct
that's why you get a pilla
Thank you for the hot tip
You and Lori are so cute, I love women from SE Asia. You should move to SE Asia, Thailand is a much better place to live than Mexico, of course that is just my opinion, each to her/her own. We were in Hua Hin last winter, we plan to move, couldn't pay me to move to Mexico, no issues in Thailand, never once had an issue in over 25 years. And no I do not want to book any paid time with you, however Jerry, would you like to book some time with me for advise on where to live and how to move, I am an expert on Thailand, I only charge $100 USD per hour??? I need help with my pensions and investments, extra cash is always welcome, I'd like you to support me, please!!!
We love Hua Hin then we will be visiting in October
We will be there November 1 Jerry, let’s get together
