So if you are paying over $100 a night to stay somewhere in Baja, why complain that a bottle of water costs $1.50. That is miniscule. Gimme a beer!

Ron and Wendy were gone the entire time I was there. I emailed Wendy when I got back and she's the one who replied you can't please all the people all
the time. And if I am not charged for water when I stay at an $11 a night room in Chiapas, I should not be charged for water at a $130 a night room in
Loreto! Despite this I really love Loreto and am looking forward to going back! Now I have to figure out how I can move there....
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a
speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. Henry David
Thoreau

Do you think it's possible that you weren't given free water because the water is potable and safe? There are plenty of hotels in Mexico that do not
provide "free" water including the Best Western de Cortes in Mexico City. They have their own filter. I've stayed in plenty of hotels all over
Mexico from the $9 to the $130 range...there was no consistency in providing water.
Best "free" water experience I've had was the over $200 a night Napa hotel that had bottles of Fiji water sitting on the counter over the
mini-bar...if you didn't read the small print on the room price list, you'd get charged $8 a bottle...small bottle...not a misprint!

failing health and spend fortunes trying to slow it.....

Sooo...your health will NEVER fail? Congratulations, Immortal One!
I sometimes think cigarette packs should have a warning label saying something like:
Warning: Quitting smoking can turn you into a N-zi.

SMOKERS!! UNITED WE STAND....COUGHING, WE FALL...
I love the smell of a good cigar....or I used to.
Interesting anecodote about Cuban cigars:
Some time back, just after the US embargo against Communist Cuba, the superb cigars from Fidel's island were prohibited in the US...this was
SERIOUS business at the time.
So...at a posh Washington, DC c-cktail party a high-ranking Naval admiral was seen smoking a Cuban cigar. A young cub-reporter questioned the
Admiral's choice of Fidel's cigars when he knew they were forbidden. "Son.", the admiral said, 'I prefer to think of it as burning his crops to the
ground!"
HISTORY: Smoking was already under attack in Royal circles by the start of the 17th Century.
What is thought to be the first anti-smoking message dates back to 1604, when Scotland's King James VI, penned a scathing rant entitled "A
Counterblaste to Tobacco".
He wrote: "A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof,
nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless." Perhaps his words are now having an effect, 400 years on.
I personally quit smoking cigars on May 4, 1990 at 2:38 p.m.....sigh. Hey, is that a Montecristo I smell?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

We are sorry to hear of the demise of Villas de Loreto as a hotel. We had many good times there over the years. We stayed there on our honeymoon in
October 1999 caught some fish and fed the whole place. We did not mind that the owners had chosen to make it non-smoking.
Hasta luego!
