Had to buy a 30amp regulator
If you bought an ISB Sola Basic Corrector de Voltaje . . . http://isbmex.com/pdf/REGULADOR%20DOMESTICO.pdf . . . you bought the right thing and you can't buy them in the US - you got a good deal.
Lots to do from Chapala - are you at Roca Azul? There is a town that makes the equipale chairs near there - a small town has a co-op of women making things from corn husks - and up by Lake Cajititlan there is a guy who hand makes mocajete stone cooking bowls and other works of art out of raw stone - and also a somewhat famous potter who makes amazing sculptures from clay. See our blog . . . http://briansue2.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html . . . for some of these places.
Google Zacoalco de Torres Jalisco equipales to learn about the chairs you see all over Mexico - this is where they are made - this is where you will find the good ones.
