welcome / bienvenidos

 

Welcome to all 1,151 newsletter subscribers!

 

Tosia is traveling this week, so I am filling in for her. You can read about her journey on our forum.  

 

It's pretty quiet around Jaltemba Bay these days. The main topic of conversation seems to be about the rapidly decreasing choice of restaurants and the increasingly warming temps (you won't find me complaining as our pool is hovering at a very comfortable 92 degrees right now).

In case you missed last week's issue of our newsletter, we announced our new blog where you will find exclusive stories and photos from our team as well as our readers. If you'd like to share your experiences about Mexico, please contact us -- we are always looking for writers and photographers!

 

To find out what is happening this week, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.     

 

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 Bay Weather Page

 

And be sure to watch for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter, which will arrive in your InBox on Tuesday, May 1st just in time for your morning coffee.   

 

Saludos!

Fisherman's Memorial

  

I took this series of photos of the Fisherman's Memorial on Easter Sunday. This particular photo captures La Penita in the background. Getting a good shot of the front is a bit challenging because there isn't much ground to stand on between the cross and the crashing waves below.  See more
