Roca Azul RV Park in Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico. A drive through San Juan Cosala to the west end of Lake Chapala. Stories about retired life at our project home in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in our 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today.

II am a new subscriber. We stayed at Roca Azul this past winter and enjoyed our four months at the park. They have 30 amp electrical service, also new high speed wifi service fast enough for streaming and good water pressure. The manager speaks near perfect English and the staff are tops. We paid 4500 pecos per month. We will be returning this November to escape the Canadian winter. Keep up the great videos. Viva Mexico

Love all your videos...your information, your stories and your "wicked" sense of humor! Thanks so much for the info. on the two RV parks. I realize that one of them is new, but so far....Blue Rock has the most "curb appeal!" It appears to have more shade/trees/amenities, and a nice lake view, as well. Sounds like it costs a bit more...but maybe it's worth the price.

Saludos desde Long Beach, CA. I've watch a couple of your videos and I really like them. I like your easy going way and all the great information you have to share. I have to admit that I'm jealous. While studying Spanish as my major in college in the '90s I spent about a year and a half in Mexico to perfect my language skills. I lived in Zapopan Jal, México DF, and Ciudad Victoria, Tamps. I met many wonderful people there and had great experiences. I'm in my late 40s married to an Salvadoran gal with a beautiful 1 year old daughter. We contemplate all the time moving to Mexico. I think I could rent out my house and live off the rent. I congratulate you on your move to Ajijic. Wish you all the best! David

Hi, Jerry, That's my husband's photo you see on this comment. My name is Ellen. I have just discovered your videos. I so appreciate your slow, logical and methodical progression of stories. I am hungry to learn anything current about Lake Chapalla, Ajijic, et. al. ... especially appreciate your most recent video about rent increases in the area, and how to mitigate that by moving farther out from Ajijic. My husband, Don, and myself plan to retire in about 3.5 years and we are seriously looking at this beautiful culture and climate. We currently live in Chandler, Arizona and had heard that Air B&B is driving up the cost of rentals in Ajijic area. So your video I mentioned came at a timely moment when are becoming concerned about the affordability of moving to the Lake Chapalla area. Thank you so much for that! Also, I really enjoy your everyday videos about various subjects of Mexican life. Especially when you are sitting in your yard, walking around, or in your home with the windows open. I get to hear the birds making wonderful sounds in the background - and it sounds like heaven. Thanks, again. Your New Fan Girl, Ellen Nakano

Nice talk story drive to that RV park JC. My wife and I plan sell our house and retire in the Philippines because she owns the family farm 5 Hectares land , 2 small houses near a large rice paddy. It is very hot all year round. Last time I go there I had a Heat Stroke. My Doctor said when he did an MRI on me soon after my return. I'm not too happy about going there but just like Mexico everything cheap even use Peso's and most people speak English.

The most accurate answer to, Where did I learn Spanish? .. is, I haven't. Its very easy to get by without Spanish here in Ajijic. Whatever Spanglish I have just comes from spending time with Mexican friends and workers. I am adequate in casual politeness in passing, fine at a restaurant and the gas station, pretty good at the hardware store, but not having a philosophical conversation with anyone in Spanish.

Hi, Mi esposa got me hooked on your videos by playing them all the time. We are in the formative stages of setting out on our journey to your beautiful location sometime in the next 1/2 year or the following winter. To your knowledge, is the Roca Azul the only reasonably acceptable RV park around Lago de Chapala? I saw there was an RV park on the norte end but in the city and comments said it was bare of árbols, which is not good. ~ Volume good, watching on a HP Probook laptop with Windows 10 ~

In your opinion, would it be smarter to by a cheap get around town car before we cross the border, or once we are in Mexico? Thinking of a decent A to B car in the 1500 range, if in the US. We don't know if used cars sell often down there, and what shape they are typically in? I don't mean to ask you to do any heavy investigation into this, but if you happen to have an opinion on what country we Should pick up that little car, we would love to hear it! Thanks in advance!

a finca is a medium size land with or without a house, sometimes people use it to describe a piece of property in urban or rural place. is like if you talking about your property and call it my land, my property, my lot...also people use it to describe a builiding or house under construction (fincar or fincando (present)) it means when a house or building is in the process of construction but its unfinished, in Mexico some houses or buildings are just unfinished for years, they can have walls and roof but no windows or interior finishes they call them fincas abandonadas or abandoned unfinished buildings. I hope I'm not confusing you but in short... a finca can be used in any small house or rural property with somehow of livable space (Rv, some small houses with a room and bathroom but with plans to expand or add ons in a future, or some kind of camping area), as long that it is your property you can call it finca.

Hello JC. When your coming out of the gates. My brother inlaw owns the first house on the left. Roka azul. This his weekend home . You failed to mention that that whole area is a river bed. If you didn´t know. That means his house and all the others around are sinking and falling apart. He said its 100 meters down until you get to Rockbed. Pretty sad a brand new house tiles cracking and he has reinforsed the walls around the property from falling. Constant earth tremers. Also the electric in that area is poor. But its a very nice peaseful place if you dont mind the damage from mother nature.

T ... Dear letter T, I have a laptop that I can hardly hear my videos on with the volume up full. I edit on my iPad and turn up the volume in editing. If I turn it up enough to be easily heard on that laptop, its distorted. That's why I asked in my own comment to give me feedback on the volume. Its fine on my phone, and my iPad at the lower volume and there are a hundred answers to my question about the volume that say its fine. May your phone and my laptop just have a problem. I write this long comment so you don't think I'm a wise ass when I say ...hold you phone closer to your ear. :)

T ... I came back to apologize. I just came home from the dentist after a root canal. I was trying to make myself laugh. It isn't working. My smile is still crooked. Maybe I wasn't as funny as I thought. I AM a wise ass. I try to keep it in check. I appreciate your feedback on the volume. I'm struggling to get it right for as many as possible. The smile :) was genuine even if its a bit crooked at the moment.

+Diana Garcia ... I don’t think there is bus service because one comment below mentioned calling a cab and paying 80 pesos one way. The house prices might reflect some structural problems in the area. Read through comments below to the guy who’s brother owns a house there.

Thanks. This is where we thought we'd go with our small RV for the summer months. It's a c-class so we'll have to pick up and drive it into town for shopping, etc....thanks for showing how far that park is from everything in perspective.

RedSpiralHand~You could always look for a small motorcycle or scooter to use going into town. And thanks to you is how I learned about that park. $250 a month to stay there AND they have a couple beautiful pools AND roughly 2.5 miles to town! A bargain to say the least! I'm wondering if they have cabins to rent out...no answer from my email inquiries :/

You can call a taxi to pick you up and return you to the park. The cost last winter was about 80 pecos each way. When we first arrived last November we would walk into town and take a taxis back but after a couple weeks we got pretty fit and would would walk both directions. Downtown took us about 45 minutes and is about 3.5 km. Get a good backpack and your good to go. We camped is a Class B motorhome.

There is no heavy accent on the final A sound, there is an equal accent on each 3 syllables ka-see-tah. here's a link to pronounciation translate.google.com/#es/en/casita (hit the volume icon) also, everyone I ever knew says syrup the way you do, but your wife is right. That really surprised me. Hope to see you soon in Ajijic! Great videos!

Hi JC, I enjoy your videos, your pace, and your ability to put the trolls in their place with class. I have recently retired, am in the process of selling all and getting ready to find my niche in Mexico. I have lived outside the USA more than in it the last 30 or so years. I like the climate in your area, but I seek a more rural setting. Are there places available in the Lake Chapala region that are a bit more off the beaten track perhaps woods, jungle, rivers etc? My Spanish is good enough to get along with locals and I am a bit of a recluse. Keep up the good work!

This was exactly what I needed to know. And looks like what I am looking for. I wonder what their policy on dogs is. I will try to find a phone number and address for them. Thank you so, much, I think I can move up my plans by at least a year with this infor and I helped my decide what kink of rv I can buy. I view on a pc and my smartphone. The volume is good, your voice is easy to listen to and there is little background noise. (I made the comment about your voice because some of the youtubers I listen to must do something with their recording that makes their voice very piercing making listening quit painful. Again, thank you so much.

Sounds good at the start. Watching by paring my iPhone to my tv 📺 Sound is a bit muffled inside the van at the beginning, then the volume goes up a fair amount (I just adjust my tv volume) 😆not a big deal. Most travel videos the viewer has to self adjust from my experience. 😃
