The San Felipe Blog

So the water pump went out at the house I’m staying at. Well, maybe any way. That’s probably the easiest to fix. I hope it’s not internal in the home.

Well, I’ll be sure to let you know how my first home crisis in San Felipe goes. In the States, it’s pretty clear who to call when something like this happens. Here, I call the contractor that built the house and hope he honors the warranty!

Coinciding with the water pump, I had issues with the server and did not post this.

The resolution: Lupe, the contractor, was excellent. He came out within an hour after I called him the next day, and he determined it wasn’t the pump but the fittings connected to the pump. There was a leak causing only air to go into the pump. Fortunately, I had shut the pump off so it did not burn up.

I’ll try to get Lupe’s contact information. I recommend him if you’re looking for a contractor in San Felipe.

Just a quick note that if you’re in San Felipe this weekend, there’s a water volleyball tournament at the El Dorado Ranch pool (La Ventana del Mar). Sign-up is at 11:30 and the tournament starts at noon.

If you don’t have a pass to El Dorado, comment here, and I’ll see if I can get you a guest pass if you’d like to play some volleyball.

I fell in love with San Felipe in the spring of 2000, and I’ve returned many times since. Currently, I’m living north of town in a nice home on the El Dorado Ranch.

Living and vacationing in Mexico is a bit of an adventure every time. To make things easier, and to keep those interested in San Felipe updated on local news and events, I’ve created this blog.

I’ll be posting “how to’s” and other information to make your time, whether it be long- or short-term, in San Felipe more enjoyable.

As I discover fine eating establishments, I’ll review them and provide directions (as well as pictures when available). A lot of the stands in San Felipe have amazing food, but foreigners are afraid of getting sick if they eat the food. There are some tips and tricks for picking out which stand is okay for eating, and I’ll be sharing that information, too.

I’ll be leaving the comments open, so please feel free to add advice. Just keep your comments relevant to the post, or they may be deleted.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy San Felipe news and views!
