The Chapala area Red Cross provides an essential and vital service to all of us that live here, natives and expats alike. And as you alluded, the Red Cross survives on donations alone. There is a website http://www.cruzrojalakeside.com/ that provides lots of great information in English and also allows one to make online donations using the secure paypal form. We all hope that we will never need to personally use the Red Cross' services, but it is nice to know that it is there when you need it! Thomas Sid, Thanks for this article.

Perhaps some of our members will know the answer to you question. I don;t know the answer, but if Ican find the answer I'll post it here. A suggestion is to ask the same question on the web board which you can access from the home page on the right hand column of our home page here at www.ChapalaClub.com My guess is that even if they take credit cards they may make a surcharge for accepting the credit card payment. Some people follow the don't ask, don't tell rule when stopping overnight at hotels when they are traveling with their furry friends. That is, they don't ask if pets are OK and they don;t mentiuon they have a pet with them. They report to me that they often will park out of view of the office, ask for a room at the rear of the complex away from "road noise" and then drive to the rear of the hotel lot and watch for the "coast to be clear" and then they take their fury friend inside. This would work well if you pet is well mannered and quiet and a good traveler. The Mexican people are basically very non confrontational and even if the clerk notices a pet they will be unlikely to challenge you about it (unless the rules are very strict). You could always offer a "pet deposit" if you get challenged. I'm not advocating doing this, but just reporting what others have done. Hope you find the answer you're looking for.

I try to provide articles on all those things I would want to know if I were considering a move here. SOme sites are all about "buying real estate" and trying to sell the visitors a home here when most site visitors don't even know if the area is right for them, let alone a particle property. I try to include information on how we Ex Pats live our lives here and provide articles and insights about living, working, and playing here at Lake Chapala Mexico. I report. You decide... if our area is right for you. Thanks again, Siempre tu amigo, Sid Hi Dick and Linda, Thanks for your very nice comments.
