Experiencing Lo De Marcos

We've spent our first few days in Lo De Marcos (LDM) settling into the house, exploring some of the restaurants and markets in the town, spending time with Abraham and his friends & cousin, and catching up on laundry.

For a little town, there are lots of restaurants, markets, stores, and of course the quintessential town square that is so typical of Mexican towns and villages.  In the morning you'll hear the camarones (shrimp) and propane vendors on their loud speakers driving through town announcing their wares.  Markets are filled with avocado, onions, melons, bananas, plantain, carrots, tomatoes, and chili peppers of all types!

Cobblestone streets weave through the town and down to beautiful beaches that vary from white sand to almost black with lava outcroppings.

Sam also found out the hard way that there are scorpions on some of the beaches at night and they do not like being stepped on!  Ouch!!  We will proceed with caution at night out there from now on!
This little town is known for its RV parks (which we have yet to see) and bungalow communities (what Americans would call studios), and many Canadian snowbirds.  It's truly the kind of town we were hoping for....a great blend of Mexicans and gringos!

Many have asked, "Why did you come to Lo De Marcos?  How did you hear about it?".  When you're traveling in high season, with a dog, and you waited until a month before leaving, you don't get to be too picky, so Lo De Marcos sort of picked us! Bill had found a bungalow for rent and was talking with the local realtor (Galvan Realty) about it and he told us about a full house for rent and that is how we wound up at Casa de Juaregui!  Thank you universe for taking care of us!
