Welcome / Bienvenidos

 

Welcome to all 1,127 newsletter subscribers!

 

We have a short newsletter this week as both Allyson and I volunteered at the JBAR Spay and Neuter Clinic in Guayabitos (read more below).  

 

Many of you are heading "home" for the summer. Whether you were here for a short time or have spent the winter enjoying the sun, we want to wish you all a safe journey and "hasta pronto"!

Daylight Savings Time for Mexico goes into effect Sunday, April 1 at 2am, so be sure to set your clocks ahead one hour. All three countries (US, Canada, and Mexico)

have now "sprung" ahead. The daylight hours will get longer until we reach the summer solstice on or around June 21. 

 

To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the Bay, or if you are heading back home, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page.

 

You may notice a few small changes to our newsletter in the next few weeks, including our new publishing date on Tuesdays instead of Mondays (yes, Allyson and I desperately need Sundays off). Look for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter on April 3rd, just in time for coffee. Pour a cup and enjoy!

 

Saludos,

 

Tosia Polomski-Archer

As I was packing up my things to move out of the park, I took a minute to photograph these flowers to share with you. I have had this plant for a few years and it only blooms in the spring.
