Welcome / Bienvenidos
Welcome to all 1,140 newsletter subscribers!
Jaltemba Bay has settled back into its quieter self now that the Easter holidays are finished. It was hectic and noisy and a lot of people had a lot of fun.
The Primavera trees are in bloom! Their yellow blossoms really stand out. Rob's Ramblings talks about building his casa in La Penita. He has many good points to take into consideration when building here in Mexico. Project Angelina is underway! Our readers Ken and Bea have sent in an update about building a house for this deserving young woman and her family. We have also gathered a few more Semana Santa photos for you to look at, see the link below.
Watch for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter on Tuesday, April 24th, just in time for your morning coffee!
Saludos,
