In the Heart of the Riviera Nayarit
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.
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 ๐ป Reflections on Caring for Jon, Sophie, Max, and Myself
My November Newsletter is Live!
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.

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, mรกs o menos.
