Yah I was going to ask you who she was because she has really BIG eye's.
Not sure if I'm supposed to read between the lines on that one. LOL She's the wife of the drummer in my husband's band. I posted the pic of my husband and her husband with Vicente on my FB a little while ago.

Ok, so I'm back from doing "stuff" and glad to see all the activity swirling around "my little community" (and Bill's..LOL). Chari...are you trying to pull Melissa away from Lopez????? Your place is nice, but..... I like my privacy, my peace & quiet, looking and SEEING the beach, regardless of HOW FAR AWAY the lot is.
Like you, Melissa, we lost one of our babies (dogs) and since that time, the others ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS go with us!!! We have our place stocked with "our stuff"! Food, Toys, Linens, etc! This time of year, sit out at night by the fire, looking at the stars....very ROMANTIC, I might add!!! Sorry Chari, but we COULD NOT SURVIVE where you are, but a visit is OK!!! LOL
Semi Solitude, Tranquility and just general "AHHHHHH" is not for everyone; but it is for us! We visit the neighbors, if we want, we go into town for dinner, if we want, but mostly, we enjoy our time at our place. Oh yeah, you should see how much our trees have grown in the last 2 months. No, we don't have "beach vendors", but we've found a GREAT friendship with Pancho, Omar and their families.....Locals who own & work, caretake, deliver water, etc. for the "Amigos de Playa Lopez".
Maybe I should "shut up"....I don't want the place to get toooo crowded....LOL.

Lori, I'm with you on this one. I couldn't do the PDO thing, either. To each his own, though. My husband and I are the solitude types - stargazing with no lights for miles, quiet, etc. I'm sure we'd become friends with the "locals" at Lopez fast, though. Privacy is a big thing for me also. I saw the picture of your trees on the PL blog! It got me started thinking about what I'd plant. Limes and avocados for sure.
Lori, do they sell "supplies" at El Solito?
The cell tower for internet/satellite sounds fantastic. We have 1/2 day Fridays at work from Memorial Day to Labor Day every year. I could see myself leaving on Thursdays in the p.m. and working from "the house" Friday mornings.

As for El Solito.....we've eaten there a couple of times. Food has been really good. We've bought beers, small quanity, but not sure about other things. We just put in a mango tree, shade trees, palms trees, ocotillo and cactus. Lots more to go in...... We're getting everything ready for WHEN we have a house...LOL

They would probably sell ice, but we've never asked! We used to go thru TONS of ice, until I finally figured out how to work my PROPANE Fridge....LOL. Life has become soooooo much easier now. AND....we've got a small, solar powered battery charger, so we have BRIGHT LIGHTS at night too!! (at least for a little while) 
It's probably a lot easier once you figure out how to work all the stuff. Solar, wind, generator . . . I've never done any of that. At first it's probably strange but once you get used to it, it probably feels good not to be "using" energy and living off the grid. Do you ever stop at the Santa Fe or Arizona markets in Sonoyta to buy stuff so that you don't have to go into town?

No...we have always shopped in town. Initially, we went to the Santa Fe on the main drag into town.....then the new Borrego (sp?) and we also go to the Super Ley. We find our way around town pretty well now.....Drinking water (5 gal jug for 80 cents), the vet for our fur babies, fresh fruit & veggies, shrimp (other than the Malecon), etc. What we have not found yet is the herberia (sp?) THE NATURAL HERB STORE!!! In addition to being a retired nurse (in Mex), DH is also part Indian Witch Doctor...LOL!!
OMG! That's fantastic! I've always been really interested in curanderos! Nice to know there's a doctor in the house! I'm surprised you haven't found a yerberia. Somebody on here has to know where there is one. We know our way around town fairly well. I guess it's not that far to make a run into town. I'm just one of those people that needs to have all my ducks in a row right at the beginning, unpack and not until then can I relax. I like to be stocked up for everything and unpacked right after we get there so I don't have to think about anything else afterward. LOL

Yep....our shopping/town "to-do list" is completed based on when we arrive...am/pm! This last trip, we purchased EVERYTHING in town....brought only soda & ice. We do keep munchies and things like soup, tuna, crackers, etc......we could probably do a weekend trip w/o going into town based on what is in the pantry...LOL

Lori, La Guadalupana, on Benito Juarez in the 2 story building's North of Pollo Lucas, has a whole wall filled with yerba's, everything from Mesquite Sap to Cola de Caballo. Also for weight watchers they sell Texturized Vegetable Protein, beef, chicken and pork flavored and unflavored so you can season it yourself.
I knew somebody would know about a yerberia. That reminds me, I still want to go see Machaca for a limpia.

Small 2 story house 2 bedroom 2 bath/ with a large deck on the 2nd story, sits on a hill for a good ocean view, The wife of the person selling it, just died (not there). $20,000.00 cash. They bought the lot from me for $13,000.00 and the house cost them around $40,000.00 to build. Contact me for phone number of the person selling. Or contact Roberto, they have also been in touch with his office. There is a bank trust in place and it is assumable. The fee to assume used to be around $2500.00, but not sure now. Be better to use Roberto to avoid running around the papers yourself. Sorry no photos. Solar power, wind turbine, in ground water tank and a tank on the roof. Will not accept payments, must be cash. If you use Roberto, the fee will be on top the sales price.

Hey Playa Lopez owners- our beach, Playa Miramar, used to be solar only, but a year ago we got electrical. I know some people who are interested in selling their solar panels, batteries, etc. (I like having both electric and solar and the low electric bills, but some people don't want the hassle). Please let me know and I'll get in touch with them.

Thanks, Miramar i will pass the word. CFE has surveyed for power poles on the hiway, but it will probably be a few more years before we get power. P.S. last week when I went out to Lopez, with Roberto I went up on the roof of the house Melissa was looking at and when i looked down at the house next door, there was a dead osprey on the ground, it looked like he had crashed into the wind turbine on the house.
