Welcome to all 1,540 newsletter subscribers!
Luckily, the rain and cooler temps have decided to appropriately pick their visiting days so they don't interfere with all the parties and events planned in Jaltemba Bay... at least so far. And hats off to Las Tres Amigas who hosted their 3Ps event which turned into a positively pleasurable party for a plethora of party-goers who enjoyed pizza and pasta in the plaza last week (you can read the update below). To find out what's happening this week, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
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.
Watch for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life newsletter, which should arrive in your Inbox on January 23rd just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!
