Welcome to all 1,302 newsletter subscribers!
Jaltemba Bay was bustling with activity this past weekend as Mexico celebrated Dia de la Independencia. "Viva Mexico!"
I was looking back through our newsletter archives to when I joined the team in late February. I was rather wowed to discover the increase in subscribers since then -- 1,103 on February 27th compared to 1,302 subscribers today. It's great to have so many new people interested in Jaltemba Bay Life! It's a wonderful incentive for me to keep our readers (both old and new) informed and intrigued about recent events around the bay.
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.
To find out what's happening this week and next, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
During the summer, we publish the Jaltemba Bay Life newsletter every two weeks. Be sure to watch for the next issue, which will arrive in your InBox on October 2nd just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!
