(01:45):
Helping a million entrepreneur,expats and aspiring entrepreneur
expats.
Now, before we jump into whatspecifically there is to do
around Lake Jamal, I wanna firstjust say that the vibe here is
absolutely amazing.
So if you like being aroundwater now, I, I always consider
myself to be like a beach kindof person.
Same.
I, I grew up, I mean, Amandagrew up in Miami.
(02:06):
I grew up in, in California, a40 minute drive from the ocean.
But I'm actually quite surprisedat how.
Familiar.
This feels like how similar thislake feels to being in, in a
little beach town.
Um, but not like a, not like acrazy Mexican beach town where
there's a lot of drunk gringos.
You, you know who I'm talkingabout.
(02:26):
Um, it's, it's a much lessfrenetic vibe, much more chill
energy.
So just in general, being aroundthe water just kind of gives you
this really amazing feeling ofpeace.
And, uh, we'll show you guys alittle bit more around, uh,
where the area, specificallywhere we live, which is by, but
where we're, we're at in ourcondo, we can actually just put
our feet right in the grass,right outside of our, our, uh,
(02:46):
back patio door.
And, um, yeah, put our feet inthe grass, just breathe, do a
little Qigong, whatever, and,and have a lake view in front of
us.
So it just brings a lot of, alot of peace, a lot of, uh, tran
uh, tranquility.
Tranquility, tranquility,tranquility.
I'm, I'm losing my English.
The more I learn Spanish thatI'm ly dad anyway.
Um, it just, it's just a, atotally different vibe here at
(03:10):
the lake.
So before we even get into theactivities specifically, it's,
it's cool to note that.
It's a totally differentlifestyle Yeah.
Than being in a big city.
And in fairness, and we'll haveto put some B-roll here, if
you've never been to the LakeChapala area, we are looking out
that way.
We're at some thermal spas rightnow.
We're, we're gonna check out allthe thermal spas in the area.
We're at a new one.
Today.
(03:30):
And if we look out that way,it's so massive.
It just looks like an ocean.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
And when it's a little overcast,uh, you, it almost feels as if
you're in like, uh, Sausalitoor, or uh, or somewhere, you
know, north of San Francisco andyou can kind of see like the bay
or something or, or going outinto the ocean because you
almost can't even see the end ofit on a clear day where we're
(03:51):
at.
You can kind of see the otherside, uh, of the lake.
Just like the short side.
Yeah.
But looking down long ways, itgoes all the way to, you can't
see the end all the way to meet.
From, from Jalisco.
So the other thing I really likeabout this area, speaking of the
nature, is the mountains.
So it's rainy season right nowhere in Jalisco and in the Lake
Al area and the mountains.
(04:12):
Uh, which we'll have to put someB-roll of those as well.
It's like lake behind us.
I know.
If they all know what B-rollmeans.
Oh, B-roll is uh, scenes wherewe show you the, it was
marketing lingo, sorry, andvideographer lingo.
It's the scenes.
Uh, that we'll put in for youguys, but we're looking at
mountains right now and they arebright green.
So a lot of people, we wereseeing this, of another YouTuber
(04:34):
in the area.
Uh, a lot of people are sayingthat between the rain and the
mountains and the water, uh, theLake Chapala area this year is
giving Hawaii vibes.
Mm-hmm.
In terms of what it looks like.
Yeah.
It does feel a little tropicalrainforesty.
Yeah.
So, um, that in and of itself,it's not something to do, but
it'll kind of give you like thevibe.
(04:55):
Here.
Now let's get into the differentthings to do.
One of which is related to whatwe just said, which is you could
do a lot of nature things here.
There's hikes, there's biketrails.
Mm-hmm.
There's a bike trail that goesactually all around the lake,
which is really cool.
Like it connects Sahi and Al andKota.
I don't know if it goes all theway around the entire lake, but
at least like this, this area ofLakeside, it connects all the
(05:16):
major towns.
Do be careful though, becauseMexican drivers can be a little
crazy, so you wanna look bothways whenever you're kind of
looking.
You're about to cross, uh, likean entrance to a big condominium
or, or houses or something.
You wanna make sure you checkboth ways because they don't
always give you the right ofway.
Um, but it's very cool'causeit's a bike path.
We haven't gone on there yet.
Our bikes actually just, justgot here yesterday, uh, from the
(05:39):
other house.
But it's, it's really neatbecause it goes, connects all
these cities and you'rebasically like hiking or uh,
hiking.
If you want, you can hike orwalk along the path or bike.
Pretty much through like aforest.
It's very cool.
You've got, for the most part,trees on either side.
Um, it's, it's a really coolnature trail and, um, most
(05:59):
places in Mexico don't have thatkind of infrastructure in terms
of like, aside from like maybeMexico City and I.
Guadalajara has bike trails, butthey're more like a bike lane,
typically on the side of theroad or like, or they just shut
down the streets on Sundays.
Yeah, they downs down thestreets on Sundays biking.
But this is like a wholededicated bike trail.
And I haven't actuallypersonally seen that really
anywhere else in Mexico.
I'm sure they have it in someother towns, but it's not super
(06:21):
common.
Um, it's, it's very similar tohow they'll have, uh, they'll
have like bike trails.
In the US through, throughnature areas and things like
that.
Yeah.
So you can also go on, uh, boatsout to the lake.
Now, this year, from what we'retold, there hasn't been a whole
lot of that because the waterlevels on the lake were too low,
but, so we haven't seen a wholelot of that going on, just
(06:41):
seeing like fish.
Yeah.
But you can get little launchesat the, at the, the, yeah.
The boardwalk, uh, in different,different towns.
So you'll find Thelan shot andfour.
Maybe 30 or 40 pesos dependingon the area or a little bit more
per person.
So like a few dollars perperson.
Uh, you can go out and, and takea little tour on a boat of the,
of the lake area, which is neat.
(07:01):
All of that to say there's lotsof outdoorsy things, uh, to do
in the Lake Chapala area, whichis definitely very different
from what we were living beforein Guadalajara, which was a lot
more of a concrete jungle.
Um, what else is there to do?
Well, obviously we've talkedabout this a million times, the
thermal spas.
Uh, and all the hotels we're bigspa junk junkies.
Yeah, we are spot junkies.
(07:23):
There is a town in the LakeChapala area called San Juan
Sala.
And in San Juan Sala, they'revery well known for their
thermal spa.
Uh, now normally we go to onecalled DeMarco Sala.
Uh, it's very kind of likeboutique hotel and they don't
allow kids in.
Uh, so it's very quiet.
And then they have all thesedifferent kinds of jacuzzis with
(07:43):
like different herbs and, uh,minerals and things in them.
So we, we would come out here onweekends whenever we needed a
break from the city and go tothe thermal spas.
And now this is the second timewe're at a spa since we moved,
uh, in the last month, partiallybecause our mussel really need
the hot water after all themoving.
And there's, there's lots ofdifferent hotels and spas with
(08:07):
thermal waters.
In case you don't know, uh, lakeChappal is kind of like on a
volcanic crater.
So you can see part of it behindus.
That way over there, that'sactually a dormant volcano.
Um, over there we can actuallysee it from our house.
And so if that thing evererupts, I mean we're get front
row seats.
Yeah, we're gonna get front rowseats if the thing ever wakes up
(08:27):
again.
Um, so what happens is this isactually on like a volcanic
crater.
So when it's San Juan, for somereason in this town
specifically, uh, all the waterthat comes out is actually
thermal water.
So there's lots of spas thathave been built around the
thermal waters, and they're saidto have lots of healing
properties.
And the spas are like differentstrokes for different folks.
(08:49):
So like the one that we normallygo to is very like boutique, uh,
high-end day spa.
No kids, very quiet.
They don't allow boom boxes andthings like that.
Today we're at another one,which is, it's much, much bigger
too.
We're at another one that'sextremely popular.
Mm-hmm.
Called, uh, or something likethat.
Did I say it right?
Hotel?
(09:11):
Yeah.
Very well known, uh, in thisarea.
And it's massive.
It's basically like a waterpark.
Yeah, it's, it's a's a waterpark on there.
There aren't too many kids here.
'cause it's the, it's aThursday.
It's a Thursday.
So we figured, you know, if wewant it to be quiet, we'll come
during the week when we can.
Plus we have.
More contractors and thingscoming tomorrow at, to the house
(09:31):
that we have to deal with.
So we figured, you know what,this is a really good, really
good day to, to get kind of a, anice reprieve from all that.
Yeah.
All the moving stuff.
Relax our muscles.
Yeah.
Um, but it's still cool.
In fact, they have much betterviews of the lake here because
there's like these wraparound,um, things like you, you see
over here behind us where youcould just kind of stare at the
water and now there's, there'ssome waves there.
(09:52):
It really feels.
It really feels beachy.
Yeah, it's crazy little beachy.
It feels almost like a littlebeach club.
Almost feels like a little beachclub.
And anyway, this particular onehas reminds me of these, those,
uh, some of the, the Black Seaclubs that I went to when I was
in, uh, Odessa, Ukraine.
That sounds like fun.
Um, that was, yeah.
I'll have to take you somedayafter that.
(10:13):
Sounds like a lot of fun afterthey settle their shit.
Um, but yeah.
Uh, that, that was kind of thevibe.
It's almost like a, it's, it'salmost less of a lake and more
of a sea.
Or an ocean.
Yeah.
Um, so this particular hotel hasa bunch of different pools and
restaurants and bars, and theyhave like four jacuzzis and they
even have water slides.
(10:33):
So it's obvious why it's sopopular with kids.
Now the secret to the thermalspas in this area is to come on
a weekday because that's whenyou're actually going to be able
to enjoy them.
And relax.
And relax.
If you come on a weekend,everybody from the city's here.
What else is there to do?
I think, I think we talked aboutthis a little bit in some of our
other videos or posts, butthere's a lot of local markets
(10:56):
here.
Um, the thing that we love a lotabout the AL area is that the
farms are so close by.
One example is, uh, all theberries.
So they actually make theberries right there, right,
right across the lake at thebase of that volcano.
Yep.
Um, a lot, a lot of the, the,the, uh, I think they were
mostly the raspberries andraspberries, blueberries,
blackberries and things.
Blackberries, maybe blueberries.
(11:17):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,'cause the, the land there isso fertile because of all the,
all the, uh, all the volcanic, Iguess ash or whatever it is from
the volcano.
If you guys know, let us know inthe comments that, uh, it's,
that's a little above my paygrade, basically.
The, the valleys that volcanoesare in, uh, tends to be
extremely fertile.
So they have a lot of berriesand a lot of, yeah, a lot of
(11:37):
fresh fruit, a lot of freshvegetables from farms either
right here or around the area.
You can also get some fishthat's fresh in the lake.
Now there's some contamination,so you want to probably not get
the fish and things that are atthe bottom.
Um, but there definitely is somegood fish you can pull outta the
lake as well, and that's gonnacome fresh.
Yeah, there's actually a lot offish places along the lake, and
(11:57):
because it's a town too.
You don't have to go through thesame level of infrastructure to
get to the people as, let's saya city, because there's a lot of
distribution stops in a citywhen you, like, let's say you
buy it at the Chira or theWalmart or whatever, and in
Guadalajara typically it comesfrom the farms, which is like
out here or in the surroundingareas outside of the city.
And then it's stored in awarehouse, and then it goes into
another truck, and then, youknow, then it's, it's on the
(12:19):
shelves and there, there tend tobe more preservatives and things
like that.
That you need in the food.
But here it's, it's a lotnatural.
You have to eat the avocadosstraight from the farms sooner
for sure.
Because they're not really likeanything that's produce.
You have to eat it within liketwo or three days.
But it is very, very straightfrom the farms.
Yeah.
But it is very, very fresh.
Yeah.
One of our neighbors actually,um, owns one of the farms, so
she's gonna take us out to, todo a tour.
(12:42):
She owns it.
Oh.
That'll be a fun video.
That'll be a fun video.
She's gonna take this out.
Make sure you like and subscribeso that you can see the video of
us touring a berry farm in LakeAlah.
Yeah.
Um, so we're really excited forthat.
And, uh, you can go to themarkets, like the, the different
towns have different DGI is thatthey're called here in Mexico,
which is like part flea market,part treasure hunt, part
(13:03):
farmer's market.
Uh, so like in, in hoko in Hokoeffect, they do it on Thursdays
and now he gets on Wednesdays.
So going to the local marketsand things like that is
something that people do a lot,uh, in this area.
And then in addition to that,there's also like artisanals and
things.
So a lot of people will go, um.
Shopping for Artisanals, uh, aswell.
And there's a bunch of differentkinds of markets.
(13:24):
And again, like depending whichtown you're in, you'll know, uh,
which day they have their bigmarket.
Yeah.
So that's one of the big things.
Oh, de on here.
De that was super cool.
And in fact, they even have onepart of the degi.
Where, uh, they'll, they'll buylike container loads of stuff
from the, the stores in the uslike Ross or Marshalls or
whatever, whether they couldn'tsell.
(13:45):
And like you got a pair ofLululemon pants for$5,$5, it
would've been probably like,like an$80 brand new, like an$80
brand new pair of leggings, yogapants or leggings or whatever.
Uh, for five bucks.
Yeah.
So I mean, you could find a lotof, a lot of goods from America
that are actually cheaper thanthey are up there, which was
pretty neat.
The next thing to do in the LakeChapala area, which I think is
(14:07):
just Mexico in general, is eat.
So there's lots of really goodfood.
Uh, each town is kind of knownfor its own thing.
So for example, in which iswhere we're closest to, um,
they're famous for their ria andthey're famous for their Neve.
Uh, RIA is like shredded meat.
Meat, yeah.
Basically shredded meat and youeat it with tortillas really,
(14:30):
really good.
And then Nevis is like icecream.
Uh, that's what they're knownfor.
Natural.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like natural.
They make it, it's like handchurned natural ice cream.
So that's what they're knownfor.
And then in Aah and al, you'regonna have a lot more
international restaurants.
I mean, we found a Mongolianrestaurant in Aah.
So for those of you who arelike, I like international
cuisine.
(14:50):
Well aah has gotchu becausewe've seen restaurants from all
over the world.
Yeah.
Because there's so manyforeigners there now.
A lot of the other areas arelike, like Coco are still.
Developing.
But if you go to chip, orespecially because there are so
many foreigners, yes.
The prices are, you know, ofrent and things are maybe double
higher what you would pay.
Yeah.
In somewhere like HoCo or atleast at least 25, 30% more.
(15:12):
Uh, but you do have access to alot more international cuisine.
For us in particular, we kind oflike a little bit less, you
know, on the beaten path becausewe're more, uh, what was the
term that chat?
GBT helped us come up withelegant adventure, elegant
adventures.
Yeah.
So we like to.
We like to go off the beatenpath a little bit, and we also
speak Spanish pretty fluently.
(15:32):
Uh, and I think that for, youknow, what we're doing, which
we're getting into real estateand things like that, here,
there's a lot more opportunity.
Versus in places like aki, he,it's a little bit more, uh, more
saturated.
It's, it's more of a maturemarket versus here it's still a
little bit more developingmarket locally speaking.
Speaking of markets and farmsand ranches and all that kind of
stuff, you can actually go toursome of them.
(15:54):
Mm-hmm.
Uh, in the area.
So there are ranches that youcan go tour, uh, around the Lake
Choppa area for those of you whoare interested in that, or if
you want your own ranch, and I,I, I would count this as a fun
thing to do for sure.
I mean, you can raise horseshere, you can raise cattle.
You, you can have livestock likeyou can buy.
A few acres of property if youwant, and have your own farm.
(16:15):
Um, you're not really limited asyou would be, let's say in the
city by different codes.
And obviously price restrictionsis a lot, it's a lot cheaper out
here to get land, especially ifyou're like us and you don't
mind getting a little off thebeaten path.
Maybe getting a star link andsome solar panels, which we talk
a little bit about in anothervideo.
When, when we were looking atthe power grid, uh, reliability
in the, in the neighborhood thatwe were in.
(16:37):
Called Chopta, which sometimesdid go down.
So we set up our panels and allthat in preparation for, hey,
maybe someday we'll have a,we'll have a little W ranch out
here.
We'll see.
Right now we got the condo, uh,semi country condo.
Um, but yeah, you can have yourown ranch, own livestock.
Um, all stuff you can go to theTGI and buy livestock.
Oh yeah, they, they wereselling, uh, was it chickens?
(16:59):
Um, chickens, I think maybegoats.
There were ducks there.
Goats, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can go to the flea marketand, and.
Rabbits walk, go home with arabbit or a, or a pig or a
whatever.
So, yeah.
And actually when we're drivinginto town from our condo, we're
going to HoCo.
I joke that our neighbors arehorses and cows as we are going,
uh, into HoCo itself.
(17:20):
So, um, and then final thingthat you can do for fun out here
is, um, there's a lot of healthyactivities out here.
So I don't know if you guys knowthis, but Ahi, he specifically
basically started as like ahippie town.
Mm-hmm.
Like.
I think it was like 50, 60 yearsago.
It was basically, so first itwas like a, a very well known
area for like Mexicanpoliticians and movie stars, uh,
(17:41):
like back in the day.
And then Aah in particularbasically started tur turning
into a hippie town, uh, for likeAmerican and Canadian hippies
basically like, uh, after thatera.
Um, so because of that, I wouldthink you can still find a lot
of like natural holistic healingstuff.
Um.
You can find yoga studios, youcan find all types of events.
(18:04):
Although I would argue it'sprobably a little bit more
hipster than hippie now.
Oh, guess we're gonna have tosee.
Yeah.
Uh, but that's also quitetypical of Mexico.
To find like a holistic healingthings is not, it's not a
difficult thing to do in Mexico.
It's very common.
It's one of the reasons why welike Mexico.
It's one of the reasons you guyssay you like Mexico.
Like a lot of that naturalhealing stuff is very easy to
find.
(18:24):
Yeah.
Uh, in Mexico, no matter whereyou are.
In Mexico and this area isabsolutely no exception.
So for those of you who likethose things, and then also, and
this is the final thing, there'slots of like community groups in
the area.
Like gardening.
Like gardening.
There's also the preppers,there's a prepper group there.
There's a lot of little, yeah,little little groups like that.
Um,'cause it's such a close knitcommunity.
(18:45):
Yeah.
Particularly in Ahi and Al,there's lots of activities.
There's lots of like communitygroup activities, uh, that you
can sign up for and you can godo.
We got invited to a gardeningparty, for example.
Um, I can barely keep our plantsalive, so I don't know how we're
gonna do that.
Yeah.
Although my Jada plants and mysucculents have survived the
last two years.
Everything else, it's not sayingmuch, but everything else I
(19:07):
couldn't keep alive.
But I don't know.
We'll see what happens here.
You've been doing a good jobwith the dog and the cat,
though.
I have.
I commend you for that.
Yeah.
Um, so there's garden parties,there's a prepper club, uh, for
those of you who are into thatkind of stuff.
There's all these differenttypes of groups and things like
that.
And then finally there's Lake AlSociety.
Uh, they do a whole bunch ofdifferent kinds of things, but,
(19:27):
um, and then even just with yourneighbors, I guess, because
here, uh, you actually see yourneighbors a little bit more.
I mean, in Mexico you see yourneighbors more than you would in
the United States or Canada,like period.
But in Guadalajara, peoplelived, um, in the big cities,
people live more like behindgates and things like that.
It's like a privacy thing, asecurity thing.
And that was also theneighborhood we were living in.
(19:48):
Yeah, because it was a, a moreritzy.
Private neighborhood.
Depends where you're at forsure.
In the city.
Well, that neighborhood used tobe,'cause our neighbors now grew
up in that neighborhood inGuadalajara, and they told us
that Chota used to just be like,uh, Rios.
What do you, how do you say thatin English?
Yeah.
That like big, big, uh, rodRancho farm, they were farms.
They were big, big ranches whenthey were, these guys were in
their sixties mm-hmm.
And seventies now.
(20:09):
And they were saying at thetime, were.
We're like estates.
Yeah.
That's what they were inagriculture and all that kind of
stuff.
And now it's like a major suburbof a major city.
Yeah.
One thing on the neighborsthough, like, like where we
live, and obviously it's notgonna be like this everywhere,
but we're in this little, thislittle gated community way up on
the mountain and we pretty muchknow half of our neighbors
there, at least the ones thatare, that are uh, that are
(20:31):
regularly there, a lot of'emwill just come for the weekends
'cause they're more vacationhomes, which is cool.
We get to vacation where, or weget to live where people
vacation.
Um, but we know all of ourneighbors and.
And I think to even meet,granted in Mexico, you meet your
neighbors a lot more than in theUS anyway.
Like in, in our last house, we,we definitely knew, you know, 10
or 15 different people likearound the, in the blocks around
(20:52):
our house.
But here we know like neareverybody, over 50% of our
neighbors on this little streetthat we live in.
And, and they, you know, willinvite us for a coffee or
dinners, coffees, playing dos.
And we've only been here for acouple weeks.
Really?
Yeah.
With all the time we were goingback and forth too.
Yeah.

Now, before we jump into whatspecifically there is to do
around Lake Jamal, I wanna firstjust say that the vibe here is
absolutely amazing.
So if you like being aroundwater now, I, I always consider
myself to be like a beach kindof person.
Same.
I, I grew up, I mean, Amandagrew up in Miami.
(02:06):
I grew up in, in California, a40 minute drive from the ocean.
But I'm actually quite surprisedat how.
Familiar.
This feels like how similar thislake feels to being in, in a
little beach town.
Um, but not like a, not like acrazy Mexican beach town where
there's a lot of drunk gringos.
You, you know who I'm talkingabout.
(02:26):
Um, it's, it's a much lessfrenetic vibe, much more chill
energy.
So just in general, being aroundthe water just kind of gives you
this really amazing feeling ofpeace.
And, uh, we'll show you guys alittle bit more around, uh,
where the area, specificallywhere we live, which is by, but
where we're, we're at in ourcondo, we can actually just put
our feet right in the grass,right outside of our, our, uh,
(02:46):
back patio door.
And, um, yeah, put our feet inthe grass, just breathe, do a
little Qigong, whatever, and,and have a lake view in front of
us.
So it just brings a lot of, alot of peace, a lot of, uh, tran
uh, tranquility.
Tranquility, tranquility,tranquility.
I'm, I'm losing my English.
The more I learn Spanish thatI'm ly dad anyway.
Um, it just, it's just a, atotally different vibe here at
(03:10):
the lake.
So before we even get into theactivities specifically, it's,
it's cool to note that.
It's a totally differentlifestyle Yeah.
Than being in a big city.
And in fairness, and we'll haveto put some B-roll here, if
you've never been to the LakeChapala area, we are looking out
that way.
We're at some thermal spas rightnow.
We're, we're gonna check out allthe thermal spas in the area.
We're at a new one.
Today.
(03:30):
And if we look out that way,it's so massive.
It just looks like an ocean.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
And when it's a little overcast,uh, you, it almost feels as if
you're in like, uh, Sausalitoor, or uh, or somewhere, you
know, north of San Francisco andyou can kind of see like the bay
or something or, or going outinto the ocean because you
almost can't even see the end ofit on a clear day where we're
(03:51):
at.
You can kind of see the otherside, uh, of the lake.
Just like the short side.
Yeah.
But looking down long ways, itgoes all the way to, you can't
see the end all the way to meet.
From, from Jalisco.
So the other thing I really likeabout this area, speaking of the
nature, is the mountains.
So it's rainy season right nowhere in Jalisco and in the Lake
Al area and the mountains.
(04:12):
Uh, which we'll have to put someB-roll of those as well.
It's like lake behind us.
I know.
If they all know what B-rollmeans.
Oh, B-roll is uh, scenes wherewe show you the, it was
marketing lingo, sorry, andvideographer lingo.
It's the scenes.
Uh, that we'll put in for youguys, but we're looking at
mountains right now and they arebright green.
So a lot of people, we wereseeing this, of another YouTuber
(04:34):
in the area.
Uh, a lot of people are sayingthat between the rain and the
mountains and the water, uh, theLake Chapala area this year is
giving Hawaii vibes.
Mm-hmm.
In terms of what it looks like.
Yeah.
It does feel a little tropicalrainforesty.
Yeah.
So, um, that in and of itself,it's not something to do, but
it'll kind of give you like thevibe.
(04:55):
Here.
Now let's get into the differentthings to do.
One of which is related to whatwe just said, which is you could
do a lot of nature things here.
There's hikes, there's biketrails.
Mm-hmm.
There's a bike trail that goesactually all around the lake,
which is really cool.
Like it connects Sahi and Al andKota.
I don't know if it goes all theway around the entire lake, but
at least like this, this area ofLakeside, it connects all the
(05:16):
major towns.
Do be careful though, becauseMexican drivers can be a little
crazy, so you wanna look bothways whenever you're kind of
looking.
You're about to cross, uh, likean entrance to a big condominium
or, or houses or something.
You wanna make sure you checkboth ways because they don't
always give you the right ofway.
Um, but it's very cool'causeit's a bike path.
We haven't gone on there yet.
Our bikes actually just, justgot here yesterday, uh, from the
(05:39):
other house.
But it's, it's really neatbecause it goes, connects all
these cities and you'rebasically like hiking or uh,
hiking.
If you want, you can hike orwalk along the path or bike.
Pretty much through like aforest.
It's very cool.
You've got, for the most part,trees on either side.
Um, it's, it's a really coolnature trail and, um, most
(05:59):
places in Mexico don't have thatkind of infrastructure in terms
of like, aside from like maybeMexico City and I.
Guadalajara has bike trails, butthey're more like a bike lane,
typically on the side of theroad or like, or they just shut
down the streets on Sundays.
Yeah, they downs down thestreets on Sundays biking.
But this is like a wholededicated bike trail.
And I haven't actuallypersonally seen that really
anywhere else in Mexico.
I'm sure they have it in someother towns, but it's not super
(06:21):
common.
Um, it's, it's very similar tohow they'll have, uh, they'll
have like bike trails.
In the US through, throughnature areas and things like
that.
Yeah.
So you can also go on, uh, boatsout to the lake.
Now, this year, from what we'retold, there hasn't been a whole
lot of that because the waterlevels on the lake were too low,
but, so we haven't seen a wholelot of that going on, just
(06:41):
seeing like fish.
Yeah.
But you can get little launchesat the, at the, the, yeah.
The boardwalk, uh, in different,different towns.
So you'll find Thelan shot andfour.
Maybe 30 or 40 pesos dependingon the area or a little bit more
per person.
So like a few dollars perperson.
Uh, you can go out and, and takea little tour on a boat of the,
of the lake area, which is neat.
(07:01):
All of that to say there's lotsof outdoorsy things, uh, to do
in the Lake Chapala area, whichis definitely very different
from what we were living beforein Guadalajara, which was a lot
more of a concrete jungle.
Um, what else is there to do?
Well, obviously we've talkedabout this a million times, the
thermal spas.
Uh, and all the hotels we're bigspa junk junkies.
Yeah, we are spot junkies.
(07:23):
There is a town in the LakeChapala area called San Juan
Sala.
And in San Juan Sala, they'revery well known for their
thermal spa.
Uh, now normally we go to onecalled DeMarco Sala.
Uh, it's very kind of likeboutique hotel and they don't
allow kids in.
Uh, so it's very quiet.
And then they have all thesedifferent kinds of jacuzzis with
(07:43):
like different herbs and, uh,minerals and things in them.
So we, we would come out here onweekends whenever we needed a
break from the city and go tothe thermal spas.
And now this is the second timewe're at a spa since we moved,
uh, in the last month, partiallybecause our mussel really need
the hot water after all themoving.
And there's, there's lots ofdifferent hotels and spas with
(08:07):
thermal waters.
In case you don't know, uh, lakeChappal is kind of like on a
volcanic crater.
So you can see part of it behindus.
That way over there, that'sactually a dormant volcano.
Um, over there we can actuallysee it from our house.
And so if that thing evererupts, I mean we're get front
row seats.
Yeah, we're gonna get front rowseats if the thing ever wakes up
(08:27):
again.
Um, so what happens is this isactually on like a volcanic
crater.
So when it's San Juan, for somereason in this town
specifically, uh, all the waterthat comes out is actually
thermal water.
So there's lots of spas thathave been built around the
thermal waters, and they're saidto have lots of healing
properties.
And the spas are like differentstrokes for different folks.
(08:49):
So like the one that we normallygo to is very like boutique, uh,
high-end day spa.
No kids, very quiet.
They don't allow boom boxes andthings like that.
Today we're at another one,which is, it's much, much bigger
too.
We're at another one that'sextremely popular.
Mm-hmm.
Called, uh, or something likethat.
Did I say it right?
Hotel?
(09:11):
Yeah.
Very well known, uh, in thisarea.
And it's massive.
It's basically like a waterpark.
Yeah, it's, it's a's a waterpark on there.
There aren't too many kids here.
'cause it's the, it's aThursday.
It's a Thursday.
So we figured, you know, if wewant it to be quiet, we'll come
during the week when we can.
Plus we have.
More contractors and thingscoming tomorrow at, to the house
(09:31):
that we have to deal with.
So we figured, you know what,this is a really good, really
good day to, to get kind of a, anice reprieve from all that.
Yeah.
All the moving stuff.
Relax our muscles.
Yeah.
Um, but it's still cool.
In fact, they have much betterviews of the lake here because
there's like these wraparound,um, things like you, you see
over here behind us where youcould just kind of stare at the
water and now there's, there'ssome waves there.
(09:52):
It really feels.
It really feels beachy.
Yeah, it's crazy little beachy.
It feels almost like a littlebeach club.
Almost feels like a little beachclub.
And anyway, this particular onehas reminds me of these, those,
uh, some of the, the Black Seaclubs that I went to when I was
in, uh, Odessa, Ukraine.
That sounds like fun.
Um, that was, yeah.
I'll have to take you somedayafter that.
(10:13):
Sounds like a lot of fun afterthey settle their shit.
Um, but yeah.
Uh, that, that was kind of thevibe.
It's almost like a, it's, it'salmost less of a lake and more
of a sea.
Or an ocean.
Yeah.
Um, so this particular hotel hasa bunch of different pools and
restaurants and bars, and theyhave like four jacuzzis and they
even have water slides.
(10:33):
So it's obvious why it's sopopular with kids.
Now the secret to the thermalspas in this area is to come on
a weekday because that's whenyou're actually going to be able
to enjoy them.
And relax.
And relax.
If you come on a weekend,everybody from the city's here.
What else is there to do?
I think, I think we talked aboutthis a little bit in some of our
other videos or posts, butthere's a lot of local markets
(10:56):
here.
Um, the thing that we love a lotabout the AL area is that the
farms are so close by.
One example is, uh, all theberries.
So they actually make theberries right there, right,
right across the lake at thebase of that volcano.
Yep.
Um, a lot, a lot of the, the,the, uh, I think they were
mostly the raspberries andraspberries, blueberries,
blackberries and things.
Blackberries, maybe blueberries.
(11:17):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,'cause the, the land there isso fertile because of all the,
all the, uh, all the volcanic, Iguess ash or whatever it is from
the volcano.
If you guys know, let us know inthe comments that, uh, it's,
that's a little above my paygrade, basically.
The, the valleys that volcanoesare in, uh, tends to be
extremely fertile.
So they have a lot of berriesand a lot of, yeah, a lot of
(11:37):
fresh fruit, a lot of freshvegetables from farms either
right here or around the area.
You can also get some fishthat's fresh in the lake.
Now there's some contamination,so you want to probably not get
the fish and things that are atthe bottom.
Um, but there definitely is somegood fish you can pull outta the
lake as well, and that's gonnacome fresh.
Yeah, there's actually a lot offish places along the lake, and
(11:57):
because it's a town too.
You don't have to go through thesame level of infrastructure to
get to the people as, let's saya city, because there's a lot of
distribution stops in a citywhen you, like, let's say you
buy it at the Chira or theWalmart or whatever, and in
Guadalajara typically it comesfrom the farms, which is like
out here or in the surroundingareas outside of the city.
And then it's stored in awarehouse, and then it goes into
another truck, and then, youknow, then it's, it's on the
(12:19):
shelves and there, there tend tobe more preservatives and things
like that.
That you need in the food.
But here it's, it's a lotnatural.
You have to eat the avocadosstraight from the farms sooner
for sure.
Because they're not really likeanything that's produce.
You have to eat it within liketwo or three days.
But it is very, very straightfrom the farms.
Yeah.
But it is very, very fresh.
Yeah.
One of our neighbors actually,um, owns one of the farms, so
she's gonna take us out to, todo a tour.
(12:42):
She owns it.
Oh.
That'll be a fun video.
That'll be a fun video.
She's gonna take this out.
Make sure you like and subscribeso that you can see the video of
us touring a berry farm in LakeAlah.
Yeah.
Um, so we're really excited forthat.
And, uh, you can go to themarkets, like the, the different
towns have different DGI is thatthey're called here in Mexico,
which is like part flea market,part treasure hunt, part
(13:03):
farmer's market.
Uh, so like in, in hoko in Hokoeffect, they do it on Thursdays
and now he gets on Wednesdays.
So going to the local marketsand things like that is
something that people do a lot,uh, in this area.
And then in addition to that,there's also like artisanals and
things.
So a lot of people will go, um.
Shopping for Artisanals, uh, aswell.
And there's a bunch of differentkinds of markets.
(13:24):
And again, like depending whichtown you're in, you'll know, uh,
which day they have their bigmarket.
Yeah.
So that's one of the big things.
Oh, de on here.
De that was super cool.
And in fact, they even have onepart of the degi.
Where, uh, they'll, they'll buylike container loads of stuff
from the, the stores in the uslike Ross or Marshalls or
whatever, whether they couldn'tsell.
(13:45):
And like you got a pair ofLululemon pants for$5,$5, it
would've been probably like,like an$80 brand new, like an$80
brand new pair of leggings, yogapants or leggings or whatever.
Uh, for five bucks.
Yeah.
So I mean, you could find a lotof, a lot of goods from America
that are actually cheaper thanthey are up there, which was
pretty neat.
The next thing to do in the LakeChapala area, which I think is
(14:07):
just Mexico in general, is eat.
So there's lots of really goodfood.
Uh, each town is kind of knownfor its own thing.
So for example, in which iswhere we're closest to, um,
they're famous for their ria andthey're famous for their Neve.
Uh, RIA is like shredded meat.
Meat, yeah.
Basically shredded meat and youeat it with tortillas really,
(14:30):
really good.
And then Nevis is like icecream.
Uh, that's what they're knownfor.
Natural.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like natural.
They make it, it's like handchurned natural ice cream.
So that's what they're knownfor.
And then in Aah and al, you'regonna have a lot more
international restaurants.
I mean, we found a Mongolianrestaurant in Aah.
So for those of you who arelike, I like international
cuisine.
(14:50):
Well aah has gotchu becausewe've seen restaurants from all
over the world.
Yeah.
Because there's so manyforeigners there now.
A lot of the other areas arelike, like Coco are still.
Developing.
But if you go to chip, orespecially because there are so
many foreigners, yes.
The prices are, you know, ofrent and things are maybe double
higher what you would pay.
Yeah.
In somewhere like HoCo or atleast at least 25, 30% more.
(15:12):
Uh, but you do have access to alot more international cuisine.
For us in particular, we kind oflike a little bit less, you
know, on the beaten path becausewe're more, uh, what was the
term that chat?
GBT helped us come up withelegant adventure, elegant
adventures.
Yeah.
So we like to.
We like to go off the beatenpath a little bit, and we also
speak Spanish pretty fluently.
(15:32):
Uh, and I think that for, youknow, what we're doing, which
we're getting into real estateand things like that, here,
there's a lot more opportunity.
Versus in places like aki, he,it's a little bit more, uh, more
saturated.
It's, it's more of a maturemarket versus here it's still a
little bit more developingmarket locally speaking.
Speaking of markets and farmsand ranches and all that kind of
stuff, you can actually go toursome of them.
(15:54):
Mm-hmm.
Uh, in the area.
So there are ranches that youcan go tour, uh, around the Lake
Choppa area for those of you whoare interested in that, or if
you want your own ranch, and I,I, I would count this as a fun
thing to do for sure.
I mean, you can raise horseshere, you can raise cattle.
You, you can have livestock likeyou can buy.
A few acres of property if youwant, and have your own farm.
(16:15):
Um, you're not really limited asyou would be, let's say in the
city by different codes.
And obviously price restrictionsis a lot, it's a lot cheaper out
here to get land, especially ifyou're like us and you don't
mind getting a little off thebeaten path.
Maybe getting a star link andsome solar panels, which we talk
a little bit about in anothervideo.
When, when we were looking atthe power grid, uh, reliability
in the, in the neighborhood thatwe were in.
(16:37):
Called Chopta, which sometimesdid go down.
So we set up our panels and allthat in preparation for, hey,
maybe someday we'll have a,we'll have a little W ranch out
here.
We'll see.
Right now we got the condo, uh,semi country condo.
Um, but yeah, you can have yourown ranch, own livestock.
Um, all stuff you can go to theTGI and buy livestock.
Oh yeah, they, they wereselling, uh, was it chickens?
(16:59):
Um, chickens, I think maybegoats.
There were ducks there.
Goats, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can go to the flea marketand, and.
Rabbits walk, go home with arabbit or a, or a pig or a
whatever.
So, yeah.
And actually when we're drivinginto town from our condo, we're
going to HoCo.
I joke that our neighbors arehorses and cows as we are going,
uh, into HoCo itself.
(17:20):
So, um, and then final thingthat you can do for fun out here
is, um, there's a lot of healthyactivities out here.
So I don't know if you guys knowthis, but Ahi, he specifically
basically started as like ahippie town.
Mm-hmm.
Like.
I think it was like 50, 60 yearsago.
It was basically, so first itwas like a, a very well known
area for like Mexicanpoliticians and movie stars, uh,
(17:41):
like back in the day.
And then Aah in particularbasically started tur turning
into a hippie town, uh, for likeAmerican and Canadian hippies
basically like, uh, after thatera.
Um, so because of that, I wouldthink you can still find a lot
of like natural holistic healingstuff.
Um.
You can find yoga studios, youcan find all types of events.
(18:04):
Although I would argue it'sprobably a little bit more
hipster than hippie now.
Oh, guess we're gonna have tosee.
Yeah.
Uh, but that's also quitetypical of Mexico.
To find like a holistic healingthings is not, it's not a
difficult thing to do in Mexico.
It's very common.
It's one of the reasons why welike Mexico.
It's one of the reasons you guyssay you like Mexico.
Like a lot of that naturalhealing stuff is very easy to
find.
(18:24):
Yeah.
Uh, in Mexico, no matter whereyou are.
In Mexico and this area isabsolutely no exception.
So for those of you who likethose things, and then also, and
this is the final thing, there'slots of like community groups in
the area.
Like gardening.
Like gardening.
There's also the preppers,there's a prepper group there.
There's a lot of little, yeah,little little groups like that.
Um,'cause it's such a close knitcommunity.
(18:45):
Yeah.
Particularly in Ahi and Al,there's lots of activities.
There's lots of like communitygroup activities, uh, that you
can sign up for and you can godo.
We got invited to a gardeningparty, for example.
Um, I can barely keep our plantsalive, so I don't know how we're
gonna do that.
Yeah.
Although my Jada plants and mysucculents have survived the
last two years.
Everything else, it's not sayingmuch, but everything else I
(19:07):
couldn't keep alive.
But I don't know.
We'll see what happens here.
You've been doing a good jobwith the dog and the cat,
though.
I have.
I commend you for that.
Yeah.
Um, so there's garden parties,there's a prepper club, uh, for
those of you who are into thatkind of stuff.
There's all these differenttypes of groups and things like
that.
And then finally there's Lake AlSociety.
Uh, they do a whole bunch ofdifferent kinds of things, but,
(19:27):
um, and then even just with yourneighbors, I guess, because
here, uh, you actually see yourneighbors a little bit more.
I mean, in Mexico you see yourneighbors more than you would in
the United States or Canada,like period.
But in Guadalajara, peoplelived, um, in the big cities,
people live more like behindgates and things like that.
It's like a privacy thing, asecurity thing.
And that was also theneighborhood we were living in.
(19:48):
Yeah, because it was a, a moreritzy.
Private neighborhood.
Depends where you're at forsure.
In the city.
Well, that neighborhood used tobe,'cause our neighbors now grew
up in that neighborhood inGuadalajara, and they told us
that Chota used to just be like,uh, Rios.
What do you, how do you say thatin English?
Yeah.
That like big, big, uh, rodRancho farm, they were farms.
They were big, big ranches whenthey were, these guys were in
their sixties mm-hmm.
And seventies now.
(20:09):
And they were saying at thetime, were.
We're like estates.
Yeah.
That's what they were inagriculture and all that kind of
stuff.
And now it's like a major suburbof a major city.
Yeah.
One thing on the neighborsthough, like, like where we
live, and obviously it's notgonna be like this everywhere,
but we're in this little, thislittle gated community way up on
the mountain and we pretty muchknow half of our neighbors
there, at least the ones thatare, that are uh, that are
(20:31):
regularly there, a lot of'emwill just come for the weekends
'cause they're more vacationhomes, which is cool.
We get to vacation where, or weget to live where people
vacation.
Um, but we know all of ourneighbors and.
And I think to even meet,granted in Mexico, you meet your
neighbors a lot more than in theUS anyway.
Like in, in our last house, we,we definitely knew, you know, 10
or 15 different people likearound the, in the blocks around
(20:52):
our house.
But here we know like neareverybody, over 50% of our
neighbors on this little streetthat we live in.
And, and they, you know, willinvite us for a coffee or
dinners, coffees, playing dos.
And we've only been here for acouple weeks.
