I forgot to ask about money.
I normally use my credit card when I travel.
But that will likely not be a good choice in the smaller, non tourist
villages.
And I don't like the idea of carrying much cash around Tulsa, Oklahoma,
USA, let alone some small village in Mexico.
Checks are also likely not to good an idea.

How should I go about handling my finances while I am down there?
Can I cash a check at a local bank and open an account there, and keep
going back to that for my daily cash?
Should I use my credit card at the motel, and get a cash advance form
them?

How should I handle this?
