Dear Sir,

At the start of the rainy season, we experienced multiple power outages, each averaging about 14 hours. In response, a petition expressing our concerns was submitted to the CFE electric utility.

Since then, we have had plenty of rain and wind, yet the power has stayed on. Perhaps our petition was heard, or perhaps efforts to improve the grid’s reliability were already underway.  Whatever the reason, the improvement is noticeable and appreciated.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the article on page 3 of the September 19-25 issue entitled “Legal Residents forced to pay illegal tourist tax.” A better title might have been, “Volaris is up to their old tricks, again”.

Dear Sir,

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the 2026 Lake Chapala Society Children’s Summer Art Camp another wonderful success.

Dear Sir,

I am a volunteer gardener in the Lake Chapala Society gardens. Working there puts me in immediate touch with the earth, which is as life-giving to me as breathing air. I am just a worker bee, pulling weeds, cutting dead foliage, and carting debris to the refuse pile. I hear the hum of conversation and laughter drifting from the Casa Linda Cafe, along with a mixture of languages. I notice visitors as they walk through the gardens — they grow quiet, commenting on what they see. Some come for the cats; others come just to sit and read, enjoying the second-best “clima en el mundo.”
