First bldg.
I remember when the french bought Puerto Escondido from the Italians (or the other way around). They were putting in streets, curbs and lights and I
was really depressed. My friend John told me not to worry as it would all end soon. He was right. One day everything was deserted. They never
returned. Of course the Canadians have to put something up down there---they can't just keep on lying. Skeet is right---where is the fresh water
going to come from. Where is the sewer treatment plant going to be. I can see it now---American Bastards and Canadians living side by side----Yuk.
What a horrible existence, eh? They may even bring in fake snow at Christmas. They sure have done alot to help us in Iraq. Hold up Sharky boy, this
is turning into a political post. No bueno. Lo Siento Amigos. It will never happen again (tonight).
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

so....what's wrong with a
moor beach? i theeenk it would be a great idea, especially for boaters - they can always use moorings, never enuff.

In 1966 I worked briefly in La Paz for Alfredo Escobedo, a real estate entrepreneur, who had on his office wall a map of Puerto Escondido all neatly
divided up into home sites. This place was a long way from anywhere via the bad old road, and I always wondered how Alfredo expected prospective
buyers to get there. Now I know--a MOOR beach!
And you think Bruce should get a spell-check? Leave him be!

Loreto Bay
Hi Marie Rose. To answer your question, the first casa is approaching the 70% done stage. It is located across from the entrance into the golf
course. Many workers doing the ditching & installation of sewer & water & electric lines. I was disappointed that only one has been started, but they
say that another 25 are about to get "going"!! Skeet. You are beginning to sound like an old phonograph I used to own that just kept repeating
itself!!! Where the water???? Water is there. Has been for over 25 years. Comes from well, in the San Juan valley (MP 26) on the ranchero of Juan &
Nena Drew. It supplies all of Loreto area, and I wouldn't be surprised if it also supplies Pto Escondido. (Skeet. You know I know your concerns, and
I'm just jiving you).Which by the way, has NEW STUFF HAPPENING> The road you used to take to get to the sea wall looking straight into the harbor is
now fenced off???? The marine gas station looks completed??? But not open for business. They started charging for the moorage in the marina, and so
far 100% of the boats have or are going to be moving out. Alot are in the 'waiting room' or the launching area where the dingy dock is located.
Costs would run from about $150.00 a month upwards to $500.00 depending upon the size of the boats. Not one Mexican official consulted with any of the
boaters or the Sailing Club during all this. One boater says that he thinks they have just "shot themselves in their foot"!!!!! A five page rental
agreement was offered for the moorages they placed in the harbor earlier this year. One of the agreements was that if the boater didn't continue to
pay his rent, they could take possession of the boat & sell it for the fees.That sounded reasonable, but the rest of the agreement was kind of
scary!!!

Condo's at Nopolo/Loreto Bay
For those who have been watching this thread, the condo's that have been in construction by a Mexican contractor from the mainland at Nopolo, now has
Phase II in construction. They are about to pour the third floor (last floor) Of the 24 units when done (two buildings) there ar only four more
units left to sell. Many buyers are those who flew down to see the Loreto Bay project, and bought condo's instead. Phase II prices doubled from
Phase I A two bedroom 2 bath unit on middle floor selling for $249,000 I've met the owner, Caezar & his brother Jesus, and they are straight
shooters from the 'get go'. They are now hoping to acquire more land to continue the building, once Phase II is completed. Good things are happening
here!!!!! (I know. Depends upon whose 'point of view'!!!) Last offering in October of Loreto Bay lots with houses sold approx.l 25 units, for a total
of $8,000,000.00 Those were spendy homes. Huh???? Marie Rose. You should have bought in Loreto area!!! We could play some golf together, then have
a drink in the lounge at the golf center, then a swim in the outdoor pool, then dinner in the restaurant. Doesn't that sound exciting????!!!!!!! JR.
I bet that comment prompts a response from you. Right????

Ah what the hell
I think it's time for all those locals to learn the true family values and morals of a bunch of rico gringos anyway.
One thing for sure, those rich dirtbags buying these places have better and more drugs than what's available down here anyway.
Might be a pleasant change to see a bunch of zombies walking around in Loreto.
Viva Soma, Valium, and the short, unhealthy lives your money buys you!
It ain't gonna work! And I'm gonna love the outcome and whining later. Just like Punta Banda.

Phil
Thanks for the update! Hopefully just because we bought in Todos doesn't mean we won't be able to enjoy the fun at the Villages
I have no doubt that an investment made in Nopolo would probably be a money maker but we fell in love!! We love our Mexican neighborhood and look
forward to spending many years making Casa Loma our special place. We are hoping that the large developments stay away from Todos...then when we want
to be pampered...we'll go to them!!! (and hopefully meet there:

The Loreto Bay project is touted as a "sustainable" community. Supposedly, the they will produce more water than they use. Supposedly FONATUR has a
hand in building either a desalinization or reverse osmosis plant to provide the water for the "new town" of Loreto Bay. Those are the promises -
that is the hype. IS THIS HAPPENING?

Water
Elisbeth!
Several years ago when the presidente Hotel Golf Course Was built there was notenought Water for the Village of Loreto thereby the people of Loreto
Closed down the hwy and Forced the Gov. to Drill 9 new Wells in the Mountains above Loreto to the North.
The Gov. also bought all the Waters Rights from the Ranches except for 2. All the Water from San Juan is consumed. On one of the Ranches a Deeper Well
is being planed to supply a Distilled Water Business. Better check again on Where and How Much Water is coming from San Juan.
