  1. We have both solar water and solar electric.  We've had solar water for 5 years and it paid for itself in the first year.  We only fill our propane once a year now instead of every three months.  The solar electric we did through STI.  We have 2 solar panels connected to a microinverter system that was a fraction of the cost of other systems and it cut our electric bill in half and keeps us well below the DAC and it's easily expandable if our usage should go up.  Solar Technology (STI) did an excellent job of instillation and we've never had any issues.  Just depend on what your needs are.

  2. I placed an order with Amazon a couple of weeks ago that actually earned free shipping to MX.  I was able to follow it through the DHL number provided by Amazon.  All went well until it got to customs and they wouldn't clear it.  I printed a copy of the email I got from the DHL agent in customs saying I needed a broker, etc. because something couldn't be identified.  I took the email to the DHL office in Ajijic.  They said it's pretty much impossible to get it past customs once it stops there and just let it go back to Amazon.  One of the items was a citrus based liquid and I asked if that might be the problem - the guy at DHL said probably so.  I placed a reorder minus the liquid and it arrived in 6 days.  DHL returned the suspicious order to amazon yesterday.

  3. My wife has been cutting my hair for the almost 4 years we've lived here and doing a rather nice job I might add. The stylist who used to cut my hair for the previous 8 years used to tell me my hair was the hardest cut he did - straight and fine. I was long past due for a cut and my wife said I needed to go to a pro as it was more (too long) than she could deal with and I should try Maria Teresa from all she'd read and heard. Clearly the best haircut I've ever had. Not only a very talented stylist but she is a warm and charming person as well.
