I received a reply from City of Angles. I had wrote and asked about dealing with customs coming in.

Heather,
How kind and generous! It isn’t often we run into someone as kind, with not much more than an internet introduction.
First of all, I must apologize, but I will not be in Mexico when you visit. This is not a problem, only that you may have to deal with a little “language” problem. I do have one employee who speaks English (Mike), but I cannot promise that he will be available.
The best thing to do is take a taxi to the house where we keep our inventory (house 3; CASA III). We are right in the middle of town and near all the tourist activities, so I do not think it will be any inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have any other transportation but use taxis ourselves. When you get there ask for Mike or Alejandra. I will tell them to watch for you.
Just tell the taxi driver:
Ciudad de Ángeles (casa hogar para niños)
Avenida 20 circa la esquina con Calle 9
Numero 781
Es una casa azul con dos pisos. En el lado derecha de calle.
As far as customs, there is not normally a customs agent at the ferry landing. If there is, you are allowed to bring in $300 per person duty free. I’ll also add an attachment here that gives you a map, telephone numbers, and tells a little about bringing things in.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do. . . . and again, thanks very much.
