Serenity in San Pancho, Mexico
Press trips don't offer much in the way of down time. The pace of travel is pretty quick. Stop here, see this, move on to see something else. Luckily, I found this small moment of serenity in San Pancho.
San Pancho (which is the nickname for the town of San Francisco) is a small little community that looks out over the Pacific.
It's a place where baby boomers are buying property and building houses. Yet the developers are taking a very sustainable, low-impact point of view about it all.
They are rebuilding the local schools, rehabbing the local polo court (yes, polo), teaching community members how to grow organic crops and putting in a playground built entirely of recycled materials.
I sincerely hope it all goes according to plan as the beach is tranquil and the views are long and I'd really like to come back here some day.

Yes the small towns in the "Riviera Nayarit" are really developing fast but at least in San Pancho there is growing environmental awareness and some really great community groups. There is a website with some nice write-ups about the activism there: http://sanpancholife.com/news.php. You should check it out!
