Surf’s Up!! The house is furnished, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths,
microwave, clothes washer oven/stove, refrigerator, city provided
water, trash pick-up and sewer service. The kitchen is equipped with
eating and serving utensils. Cell and landline telephone service is
available also. A large city, Lazaro Cardenas is located about 20
minutes away. There is a new highway, the “Coastal Road” that leads
right into the city center. Lazaro Cardenas has great market places,
banks, and other services if required. The population is about
175,000. There are several large grocery stores in Lazaro that put
any Wal-Mart Super Center to shame. The selections of fresh (and
very cheap) vegetables and meats are unmatched by any US
supermarket. At these stores you can buy anything from motorcycles
to paint, clothing to cell phones and banking services. There are
several Internet resources to research Playa Azul and the surrounding
area. Google Earth has some grainy satellite photos of the area also.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Towels and shorts, a camera, Passport for “Home Land Security” and
T.S.A./Customs upon your return. Spanish/English dictionary, Lap top
with DVD’s if you get bored easily, books, sun screen, SURF BOARD
with wax and a “laid back” attitude. There are beach chairs and
Igloo coolers inside the house and a Short Wave Radio. There is
Jesus, whom is employed as the gardener, watchman, and bill payer
and “tour guide” at the house. Jesus owns the bicycle repair shop in
town, and is learning English well. He will make a great interpreter
if needed, and can provide any assistance that may be required
including fresh coconut preparation from the many trees on the
property.
WHAT NOT TO BRING
Blackberry, Palm, alarm clock, crappy surf board.
