Welcome / Bienvenidos
Welcome to all 1,138 newsletter subscribers!
This week, we have included a photo montage from a few local photographers of the holiday happenings, a story about the Nuevo Ixtlan hot springs, two new advertisers, a list of restaurant closings and summer hours, and a link to our updated weather data for 2012.
The calendar is rather sparse this week, but you can head to the Thursday Tianguis in La Penita to meet and greet those who are still in town.
Watch for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter on Tuesday, April 17th, just in time for your morning coffee!

Season of Renewal -- an Easter Calf
is Born
by Tosia Polomski-Archer
This calf was born just outside my casa gate Saturday morning and was only a half hour old when I took this photo. It is truly a time of new beginnings, even though it is the dry season when every mouthful a cow can find to eat is a struggle, yet the strength of Mother Nature successfully brings forth the miracle of birth.

Semana Santa in Jaltemba Bay --
Parts 1, 2 and 3
by Tosia Polomski-Archer / feature photo by Christina Stobbs
Semana Santa is in full swing -- the bands are playing day and night; the holiday crowds have taken over the beaches, streets and restaurants; the vendors are busy; the bank machines are out of money almost as fast as they are filled; and everyone is having a good time. For more photos in our Semana Santa series, click the following links...
- Part 1 by Tosia Polomski-Archer with photos from Rob Erickson, Lacy Mutch and Christina Stobbs.
- Part 2 by Allyson Williams with photos of Guayabitos.
- Part 3 by David Thompson with photos taken while flying over Jaltemba Bay in a friend's plane.

Destination: Nuevo Ixtlan Hot Springs, the El Tonino Way
by Tosia Polomski-Archer
Taking a new back road tour in Mexico is always exciting to me, and when the end goal is Las Aguas Termales of Nuevo Ixtlan, I'm up for the challenge. All the twists and turns, pot holes and washouts, not being able to see over the hood of the truck because it's so steep and looking straight down into ravines from the edge of the trail, are worth it! Let's see if I can convince you too. Read More

Why I Love Jaltemba Bay
Posted by Mike on April 4
 Several things are actually outstanding in La Peņita. First of all, for a song you can get a most marvelous breakfast from just about any restaurant--huevos rancheros, huevos revueltos con chorizo, chilaquiles, hot cakes for the kids, jugo natural--this starts any day out marvellously. Read more
Note: This is the third excerpt posted on our forum from Mike Curtis' book "Memories of a Musician in Mexico". Mike will be visiting the Jaltemba Bay area in July and will be selling his book at the Tianguis. You can also buy it on Amazon or the Kindle version.
