Dear friends,

When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly news letter -determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of Lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own.

Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have resales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information.

More and more, the content will be dominated by events of our new project, "El Dorado" for short. While the future is always uncertain, I again aim to tell it like it happens -the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that is what follows.

Construction Log
Updates about Hacienda El Dorado

Rio Oro: We continue to supply technical information to several groups helping them assess what we have accomplished... One group is looking at doing exactly what we planned; another has a different idea. We have two more conversations beginning. We'll see.

Market Activity: --

Chris Howard's tour came by Saturday morning with about 12 people. This group appeared much more interested in CR and life and the future than some of his other groups. He said that he's been receiving lots of inquiries for future tours.

Sales: None this week.  Did do one follow up info. to a possible Dutch purchaser and have been in touch with a French investor.

Rentals: Not ONE Call in three weeks.. but our rental availability is still a ways off.  We have several rentals coming up April 1 and then later in April.  The "snowbirds" are preparing to return.....

INTERNET Woes: It's working but not as it should. We haven't made much progress this past week in diagnosing the problem further. We still believe there is a bit of a patch work design here and maybe some wrong equipment.

Our Lives

WEATHER: eautiful... not too windy and beautiful temperatures - lots of people using the pool...

Communicating: It takes a lot of time to keep everyone in the picture and to try and ensure that anticipated problems do not go off the rains...
