Fire Works

Last night I witnessed a display of Fireworks that I was really impressed and grateful to watch. They were so close to my terrace!! it was just the perfect frame. And no, sorry I could not take any picture, I did not wanted to miss any second to go and get the cell phone. They will stay in my memory. I was impressed, wonder... I had that "wow" expression in my face that I am sure my parents saw in me many times when I was a child.

That had me thinking about capacity of wonder... have you seen the sky today? When was the last time you smiled and said wow to something? Have you let yourself wonder after a song, a child, a piece of art, a sunset, or a video of a kitty playing ping pong?

Why is it that the older we get the less we get impressed, the less we let ourselves be surprised and be thankful of all those small things? I guess we are always in the pursue of the best, the most, the biggest, the one and only... and then it just gets like an addiction; once you have the best one, there will be another one that it is even better. And life passes by, and you are missing all the fun and the presents of THE PRESENT. We are in that race and never look around in the path; once you get to your destination, to your goal, what will you tell? which stories and adventures you want to share? oh! you missed that beautiful full moon because you were watching tv?, You thought you were not going to be amazed by the flight of the hummingbird and you decided to check your smartphone to see your inbox?

Yes, just a picture from Internet, remember I did not
get my cell phone for the last night display of Fireworks

This is just a little invitation to let yourself be wondered! Let yourself be surprised by the colors, the taste and the simple things, all those things that money can not buy, well yes, they must have payed a small fortune to enlighten our night...  (The reason why I enjoyed those fireworks is because there was a wedding in the restaurant in front of my building), but I was fortunate enough that I could watch them for free. So take the free coupons life has offered you everyday and really, really enjoy them! Smell, touch, observe and then come back with some reaction, do not hold it, do not act as if that smile did not move something inside you... smile back!

It does not matter if you have seen International Contests of Fireworks, you still can be amazed by the color and lights on the sky. All those colors were to express celebration and joy, well guess what? we all have something to celebrate: LIFE!

I remember the time I did my internship in this hotel in the middle of nowhere, near Costa Alegre Jalisco, this place was so simple, so far away from luxe and glory. They did not offer electricity, air conditioned, internet, business center or TV! It was only the beach, the lagoon, the rooms, the candles... no fashion, no pretentious dishes, just honest food. The owner told me that that kind of places are really appreciated when people have seen all the gold, the best of the best and the luxury... then, only then, they learn to value the simplicity and the magic of coming back to basics.

So lets safe some time and pennies, you do not need to go and reserve couple of nights in the most expensive hotel of Dubai to understand the beauty of that tree standing right in your front yard, enjoy everything today, not tomorrow! Make yourself and those around you a favor and be there, be in the only thing that is real, the present.

After the G20 - Los Cabos

AFTER G-20

Today is Tuesday June 19^th. in Cabo San Lucas, sunny as usual. G20 Summit is about to end today, rumors say that Shakira is the one in charge of tonight’s big closure.

Mexican Government invested millions of dollars in infrastructure, not only in pavement, green areas and the big Convention Center, the first one in our state, but also in staff, in security gadgets and of course all the people behind its organization and logistics.

According to the official web page, www.g20.org, G20 has established the following priorities: economic stabilization, strengthening the financial system, promoting sustainable development, among others.

One thing we can be sure after the decision of having the G20 here, is that Cabo is safe. Well, now more than safe Cabo is a showcase full of all kind of security resources. You can see thousands of security agents, military, marines, aircrafts, helicopters, federal police, and even “The Beast”, is quite an amazing show to witness.

We are sure this Summit has accomplished its mission, but also the host, Cabo, has been privileged in many ways. Everybody is excited about all the media presence and how this can potentially bring us more groups, conventions, tourists and people interested in visiting this tip or Earth consider a “Paradise”.

We can call Cabo is a Paradise because of many reasons, starting with the magnificent Ocean and the fact that this is the place where the Mar de Cortés and Pacific Ocean find each other and embrace the rocks, the last tip of land, the Cape… El Cabo.

Some others think is paradise because of the weather, if you live in North America, where most of the year the temperature will not get higher than 75ish F, you will sure enjoy Cabo where the thermometer is always around the 85°F. But even for Mexicans, we feel this is a privileged area, because any other beach in Mexico will be yes around the 85° or more, but with much higher humidity than here, making you feel like you are about to melt if you do not drink margaritas constantly.

Also, we should consider the location, and how easy is to get a direct flight to Cabo from almost every main city in U.S.A. or Canada. Another favorable factor, for both North Americans as well as Mexicans, is that they want to be closer to their families or business and being able to take a 2 or 3 hours flight back home make them feel secure, and readily available.

This is the story of why an estimated 40,000 US and Canadian citizens live in Cabo. They were once just tourists but became part of the Locals community. All of them are now part of Cabo and that is why Cabo is all about a little bit of every single one of us, the fortunate residents of this “Paradise”.

And it has being a placer to me, as a Realtor to help many of these “Paradise” seekers, the dreamed home. Ventanas Residences offers you the best communities in town, one of the biggest Club House and that is why we have a very long list of “Happy Customers”. You can check out some of my Happy Customers at my website:

Love Cabo, Live Cabo, CaboforLife
