After the rainy season ends, our yard always looks like someone had gone crazy with weed seeds and fertilizer, and this year was no exception. We had to use a machete to find our lime tree amongst the 10-foot tall, orange-flowered weeds that had taken over the yard, again. No surprise there.  Read More

Living in Alaska, my partner Bruce and I always looked forward to yearly, extended vacations in Mexico. Each year we selected a new, small section of the coast between Mazatlan and Barra de Navidad for our roaming explorations. We would also spend a month or more setting up housekeeping...  Read More

I love the sun, but not so much the heat... especially the dripping-wet-too-hot-to-do-anything kind of heat one experiences in Jaltemba Bay from July to mid-October. I arrived almost 3 weeks later than normal this year and thought surely I would escape some of that heat and humidity.  Read More

Jaltemba Bay Animal Rescue will be holding their next free spay and neuter clinic for dogs and cats in Guayabitos. Volunteers are always welcome. You can also help by printing and distributing posters for the upcoming clinic.

This holiday commemorates the Mexican revolution in 1910, led by Francisco Madero, and while it falls on November 20 it is observed on the third Monday in November. To celebrate, there will be a mid-morning parade along the Avenida in La Peñita. Many of the local school children will be dressed in costumes, plus there will be horses, bands and much more. Bring a chair and water as it can be a long hot morning but well worth it!  More Info

The Tianguis (open-air market) in Guayabitos is held every Monday during high season from 8am-1pm in the Guayabitos Plaza. While slightly smaller than the Thursday market in La Peñita, the atmosphere is lively and the location is charming.  More Info and Map
