I have two fireplaces with gas rods in them - no cradles. Somehow, I don't think lighting the gas is the answer. I've researched everywhere and nowhere can I find any information on the proper operation of a fireplace (here) and how to use it to heat effectively. I have read about vented and unvented logs you can buy at Superlake. I have seen ceramic log inserts but no idea how they work. This may be a good topic to address to folks as I said, no information is available regards typical Mexican fireplaces down here and how best to ward off the chill in mornings and evenings. Much appreciate an early response. Thx. Hello Sid,

Very informative. Never been to Chapala but plan to come down sometime between April - June 2010 to check it out as my possible retirement home. Anybody there from the Sacramento Calif. area? Is there a knitting/crocheting club there? Gracias! Hi Sid : totally enjoy the website and appreciate your Chapala videos. Very informative.

Again a wonderful video to show what life is like at the Lake. I am so greatful that I found your website. It has given me more of what I have been looking for with all your videos.

I think I've mentioned the tolls in some dated articles on Driving here from Laredo. The tolls are no low by USA standards. I would guess now they would total around $80 USD. I'll be taking a trip to LAredo soon and will keep up with the tolls to see what current rates are now. Sometimes I see the toll booths with a sign payable in dollars. I would not risk it. I think even if they accepted your dollars that the exchange rate would not be good and they may not even be able to break a larger bill. Change dollars for pesos just before you cross the bridge in Laredo Texas. There are about 2 or 3 places on the right hand side of the road immediately before you're committed to crossing the bridge. I've found the rates at these places to be fair. Thanks again for the nice words. Sid Hi Bill, Thanks for the very kind words and your good question.
