𝗜𝘀 𝗟𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂🌊 Discover Our Improved Property for Sale in this Peaceful Beach Town

In the Heart of the Riviera Nayarit

The Lo de Marcos Town Plaza

Are you dreaming of life in a tranquil, authentic Mexican beach town? If so, you may fall in love with Lo de Marcos—just as we did. And now, our improved property in this charming Riviera Nayarit community is officially for sale!

Lo de Marcos is a small, welcoming town known for its pristine beaches and relaxed pace of life. Tucked between palm-covered hills and the Pacific Ocean, it offers a true taste of Mexico—far from the crowds of the bigger tourist destinations.

Here’s an AI-generated description I felt captured it beautifully:

Why Lo de Marcos Stands Out

• Authentic Vibe: A traditional Mexican town with colorful buildings, a central plaza, and a warm local community.
• Peaceful & Uncrowded: Home to stunning beaches—Los Venados, Las Minitas, and El Atracadero—perfect for swimming, surfing, and soaking in sunsets.
• Walkable: Easy to explore on foot; golf carts and bikes are popular for getting around.
• Local Amenities: Filled with eateries, organic markets, artisans, and charming accommodations.
• Ideal Location: Situated in the Riviera Nayarit, just north of San Pancho and south of Guayabitos, within easy reach of Puerto Vallarta.

Happy Autumn from Puerto Vallarta!

It’s been a busy three months caring for Jon, Max, and Sophie—while also reminding myself how important it is to nurture my own well-being. November was National Family Caregiver Month, but I’ve decided to make self-care an everyday practice.

What is Blue Mind?

I’ve included the term Blue Mind in many of my books. I often refer to it as the Blue Water Effect. Dr. Wallace J Nichols, a marine biologist, popularized the phrase with his book Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. Blue Mind is the mildly meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under, or on water. It is peace. It is the feeling of calmness and relaxation from being in or near the water and positively affects our mental health.

The ocean is a common source of Blue Mind for me and Jon. That is one of the main reasons we moved to Sayulita, Nayarit ten years ago and now live in Puerto Vallarta. We look for ways to reach Blue Mind from the Pacific Ocean, where we live, and other seas when we travel.

Here are some ways we have experienced it. I started posting photos on May 26, 2025, and updated them daily, más o menos.

In Her Blue Mind Blouse

Preparing the Motorhome for Rainy Season

And My Window Valance Repair

Jon Caulked Every Place Water Could Enter

The rainy season is due to start in May, maybe early June. This will be the third summer we have owned Minnie Winnie. She hasn't leaked yet, and we want it to stay that way.

Jon is very detailed in his work and has to battle himself not to be too much of a perfectionist. Even in this 85-degree humid weather, he put in seven to eight-hour days working on the motorhome's exterior for six days! So much for boogie boarding this week.

First, Jon Removed Old Caulking
