La Cruz market online store full of artisan delights.
Mayra’s Online La Cruz market store full of artisanal delights. You might remember Mayra as one of the group members that spearheaded creating and designing the park for youth. It didn’t stop there, raising funds was huge and she and many other dedicated folks held an art show and other events to raise the money and then gathered volunteers together to build it. A major endeavor that is adored by so many! Mayra was also one of the summer kids-camp coaches. When I asked her why she gets involved she told me; “Kids are always open to having fun and [...]
Amigos de La Cruz making a difference!
Amigos de la Cruz does much for many. When friends get together to make a difference, lives are changed for the better. Today I thank the people of Amigos de La Cruz. There were two beginnings that merged to become the organization it is now. APERCH, the predecessor to Amigos de La Cruz, had its beginning in 2003 when the new highway to Punta de Mita was built. Unexpectedly, La Cruz was left with an embankment and no entry into town! Some residents and small business owners of La Cruz got together and petitioned the Municipal President for: Construction of [...]

Photographer John captures energy and spirit thru his lens.
I first met Photographer John on a friend’s boat where he had done a great deal of mechanical work and we were invited on the sea trial voyage. He was busy testing and more testing so I didn’t get a great visit but I did learn that very day how John’s a ‘salt of the earth’ kinda guy and we’ve been friends ever since. Before “retiring” John owned a custom electronics installation company in the Los Angeles area specialising in large home theatre systems, lighting controls and home automation. John met his beautiful and spunky Liz in [...]

Julio and Rita create Masala Restaurant
Masala Restaurant; where it’s all about the spice! With Rita's history in town and Julio's love of fishing, Masala Restaurant is in the perfect location for their flavor 'full' delights. In a small town like La Cruz many folks are related; recently at the fisherman’s market I heard “Tio!” (Uncle) as the vendor yells to someone purchasing shrimp, then “Tio!” as someone purchasing tuna yells to the vendor. I wonder if they’re all related? Of course not but man-o-man, I love learning who’s related to whom and I’m not even close to caught up! In fact, when I asked [...]

Wantra; experience energy healing and/or release your fears with your personal mermaid. I met Crystal Ra at Pat Henry’s organic stretching class, in La Cruz, a few years ago. Pat raved about her energy healing sessions! Crystal Ra’s eyes are bright and she truly radiates energy. Although curious I never took advantage of what she was offering; ‘Access Consciousness™’ body and mind sessions and ‘Auratransformation™’ and energy healing. She explains, “I help people with clearing the energy in houses as well businesses. Auratransformation™ is a treatment method which powerfully activates the influx of the New Time energy. In short, an [...]
The face of the La Cruz Marina; Katrina Liana
Extraordinary service by the face of the La Cruz Marina! Everyone who visits La Cruz comes from varying backgrounds, using various forms of travel and arriving and staying in various forms of accommodation. Originally known as a sailor’s hangout between travels – going to the sea of Cortez or to the South Seas; La Cruz is a respite between ‘weather’ as I hear the sailors call it. Now La Cruz has many more options from hotels to casitas to condos and more and yes, many folks still live on their floating homes in the La Cruz Marina. Katrina Liana or [...]
