Welcome to all 1,239 newsletter subscribers!

The weather is making its annual transformation from spring into the hot, humid and rainy days of summer. The rains may or may not have officially begun, but we have received a total of almost 3½ inches (or a little over 87 mm) so far. Not a big start, but it has to start somehow. The rainy season, for those who haven't had the opportunity to experience it, means that it rains almost every day and sometimes with abundance, depending on how close the tropical depressions, tropical cyclones and hurricanes pass by. Usually the thunder, lightning and rain will hit sometime in the afternoon or evening and continue on into the night. Luckily for everyone, the rains rarely last all day so we pretty much carry on with our normal business, albeit with umbrellas in hand.

For all of you hanging in there for the summer, I can only say one thing... "I wish I was there with you." Keep informed about the Jaltemba Bay weather by viewing the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather page where you can view up-to-the-minute temperature, humidity, wind speed and more; we even have archival statistics dating back to June 2011 when we installed the station. 

And just in case anyone is curious to know where our weather station is located... It is perched approximately 50 feet (15 meters) in the air near the beach in Guayabitos.

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

Remember, we are now publishing the Jaltemba Bay Life newsletter every two weeks... so be sure to watch for the next issue on Tuesday, July 10th, just in time for your morning coffee.

Saludos!

Thursday was the Big Day. Bob Gill, Brian Blevings and I went shopping for the family. We purchased 4 new beds and mattresses. We bought the children bunk beds... they were so excited... quite a change from sleeping on a mattress on the dirt floor. We replaced their stove and fridge.  Read More 

When my husband and I have friends up to our casa near El Tonino for the first time, after admiring the view, the first two questions they inevitably ask are, "why is that pile of mud in a tree" and "what kind of tree is that?" The answers are simple, but each one has a story attached.  Read More

Nadia was born in the city of Lazaro Cardenas in the state of Michoacán. She moved to Rincon de Guayabitos with her family at the ripe old age of three years because her parents yearned for a simpler life.
