Welcome to all 1,253 newsletter subscribers!
The past couple of weeks have been really hot. Summer is most definitely here! Turning on the stove or oven just seems to be counterproductive to one's sanity, so I've been eating a lot of "cool" foods lately... in-season fruits, salads and of course ice cream, not to mention blender drinks made with ice. Letting a restaurant deal with the warmth in the kitchen is my all time favourite way of staying sane during a heat alert. This issue has a cool theme too, with related articles and a tasty recipe. Enjoy!
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.
To find out what's 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 24th, just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!

The Rainy Season Has Arrived
by BK Barringer

The rainy season has arrived. The dusty palms are washed. The jungle and orchards display their splendor of color and fruit. All is fresh again. The large potholes provide the adventure of driving through to find their bottom. So far they all have one. Read More

Watermelon, Feta & Basil Appetizer
by Allyson Williams
Being that juicy watermelon is pretty much the essence of summer, I decided to try this new recipe at our 4th of July celebration last week. This no-cook appetizer is quick and easy to make so you don't have to "sweat" the details; and because it is refreshing and light, it is perfect... Read More
