Sandra Guzman was born in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico.
At the age of 11 years old, she moved to Los Angeles, CA. She started as a
Receptionist back in 2000 at Seguros Comercial America (now known as
AXA Seguros) later she joined MacAfee & Edwards Team who now works
in the Personal & Commercial Auto Department.
Her biggest satisfaction is to make sure that the client, agent and
broker have a pleasant experience in the process of buying
insurance (recommending and explaining coverage’s). She is not
happy until you’re completely satisfied with your insurance. Her
priority is to get to know her clients and make her client comfortable regardless of the questions and concerns the client may
have.
Once you have the client trust they will soon refer friends and
family to you.
Sandra enjoys to spend time with her son and family, loves the outdoors, hiking, running and volunteers as an assistance coach in an
all-girls little league baseball.
Sandra’s favorite phrases:
Never reach out your hand unless you're willing to extend an arm.
and
Success is the result of hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and
persistence.

Tourism in Mexico
R
ecap; In the past issues we have travelled all
the way from the San Diego–Tijuana border
down to Mulege which is a travel of 1014
kilometers from a total of nearly 1800 to the tip of the
Peninsula.
Bay of Concepcion
Leaving Mulege and continuing going south, you will
find some of the most beautiful beaches of the Peninsula, since these beaches are not only in the Sea of
Cortes, but also protected by an outside mini-peninsula
which makes it a wonderful scenery, the Bay of Concepcion, which harbors beaches such as the Santispac,
Playa Escondida (Hidden Beach), El Burro, El Coyote,
Buenaventura, El Requeson, etc. All natural beauties
which you can enjoy, going into the Ocean specially in
the period of May-October which is when the tide rises.
There are very few places to stay, the best bet is to stay
in Mulege, where there are pretty modest but clean
hotels (Mulege, by the way just suffered a real bad fire
that destroyed lots of palm trees and few houses and
small bushes, because of the drought). There are, nice
little restaurants in most of these beaches and you can
always find a way to rent a panga for as low as a couple
of hundred bucks that would take you fishing for
fascinating catch that you can cook there or take with
you in your ice chest.
When you are done with this, keep south until you
get to Loreto, one of the largest communities in the
state of Southern Baja, with a major airport, that
receives flights from “Alaska Airlines” and “Aerocalafia“
mainly from Los Angeles and Tijuana. In the town
where you will find excellent five stars hotels such as
the “ Mission Inn “ or the “Mision de las Flores “ or the

“Lor e to
Inn” where
they have
all services
including a
g o o d
Misión Nuestra Señora de Loreto
menu and
spa facilities. Also however you can find cabins and
small modest hotels and restaurants, which usually
have excellent fresh sea food. Loreto also houses the
oldest of all Missions, Nuestra Senora de Loreto
founded in 1697. Another very interesting mission is
that of San Javier up in the mountains, a 45 minute ride
from the downtown area. This downtown area is very
charming with cobbled stones and pedestrian streets,
full of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, etc.
A boat trip from Loreto is a must, to go to the Island
of Coronado. The ride is about an hour from the little
port, the boat goes around the island so you look lots of
wildlife, such as Sea Lions, Eagles, and some species
that are endemic to the Region as you know the Sea of
Cortes is considered a protected area “Patrimony of
Humanity” till you arrive to a wonderful white sand
beach where you can swim and snorkel and see many
fish, right in the low tides. For some reason, there are
no sting rays there. We believe they like to hide in
gray type of sand. In Loreto, you will discover lots of
activities but you have to be careful in the Ocean as
there are a lot of sting rays, right on the beach, as they
like the warm waters, so drag your feet to chase them
away.
Teacher: Why are you late?
Student: There was a man who lost a hundred dollar bill.
Teacher: That's nice. Were you helping him look for it?
Student: No. I was standing on it.
