Welcome / Bienvenidos
Welcome to all 1,109 subscribers, and the many more who view it on Jaltemba Bay Life and the Jaltemba Bay Folk Forum.
I am looking forward to hearing from you readers, your stories of what you experienced here in Jaltemba Bay while on vacation or during your winter stay. Was it unexpected or planned? Did it involve local wildlife or in town critters? Did you participate in one of the many local holiday parades or event? Was it a dining experience you wish never ended or could re-create yourself?
Showing the wondrous happenings around here to others will be one of the goals I am setting for myself, and would love to hear your stories! On that note please read this week's 'Why I Love Jaltemba Bay'. Our new Forum member named Savannah, who is 10 years old, has given us a view from her young eyes. We have reprinted it as she has written it.
To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the Bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Weather Page.
The next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter will be in your Inbox just in time for coffee on March 12th. Pour a cup and enjoy!
Saludos,
