Where In The World Is Nellie?

Loreto Bay Real Estate Update      It is good to be back in Loreto ... always feels like I am returning home! The cold spell has broken and now temperatures are 70F bright and sunny.    Loreto did get some rain in January which turned the mountains   into green landscapes.   Now i t is endless blue skies, lush tropical backdrops and gardens everywhere.       There is a definite increase in real estate this season.   Many people who have been coming to visit for several years are now ready to make the commitment of buying.   Also first time visitors are loving this place and want to come back to rent and decide which area and home they want to vacation.  Great News for All!
