Snow In The Mexican Mountains

Just a few weeks ago, the high Sierra Madres had a fair amount of snow. This was on the highway between Durango and Mazatlan, at the pass.

Vaquera (Cowgirl) Guapa (Pretty)

There is always life and color in the street in Mexico. Recently I looked out the front door and discovered this beautiful chica...she was making her horse "dance." I'm sure there is a name for this, but I know next to nothing about horses.

She was promoting a local charreada (rodeo), and she drew quite a crowd. Of gawking gringos in the street. Not sure how many went to the charreada.

Six Ways Germany (Alemania) and Mexico Are Historically Linked

Paradoxically, Mexico and Germany, as opposite as they might seem, are two of my favorite countries. And, they are more historically linked than you might imagine.

Here are 6 ways the two countries are historically linked. Click the link below the photo.

Progress of New CMQ Hospital, Bucerias

This large building is going up fairly quickly. There is a substantial crew working 6 days a week.

 

This new hospital is only half a block from Casa Cascada, which is a small apartment building with a large 1 bedroom apartment and a large 2 bedroom apartment. Also with a palapa covered rooftop terrace, featuring bay views, and a good-sized pool.

Casa Cascada needs some TLC, but is wonderfully located for small B & B purposes or could be used as an outpatient housing, or housing for patients' families.

Lambert PH, Sold and Closed

Lambert Penthouse in Green Bay II, on El Tigre golf course in Paradise Village, closed on February 8th. The seller is a friend and client from Alabama. The buyer is from Colorado and Hawaii.

Delcanto Corner Two Bedroom, Sold and Closed.

This was one of the most beautifully decorated properties I have ever seen. And, it had a good ocean view, in a superb development (Delcanto, on Flamingos beach between Paradise Village and Bucerias).

The sellers were a family from Edmonton, Alberta. The buyer was a woman from Guadalajara. 

8 Bedroom House On Canal Lot, Closed.

It was a long slog to get the complex and challenging legal situation squared away, but with the patient and dedicated help of my legal team, P and G Legal Services, headed up by attorney and fellow workaholic Cristina Vilchis, plus the patience of the buyers and the seller, this first half of this deal (the sale of the house on lot 161, on the canal, in section II of Nuevo Vallarta), was finally closed in mid December 2015.


 

 The buyers, a family from California, have the structural stabilization and remodel project well under way.



The transfer of title to lot 160 is still pending, as it had even more legal issues to resolve. The same legal team is handling that as well.
