A Spread of Colors
by Hélène Fortier
|  |
I took this photo at the Tianguis in Rincón de Guayabitos in 2012. I was surprised to see so many beautiful colors that decorate these handmade objects. Mexicans create many beautiful things, and above all they are very talented. I purchased some of these gift items for my friends and family. Mexico has... Read More |

Here are a few thoughts from this discussion. There is obviously a lot more to this topic than can be covered in one short article. Read More

by Juavana Simone Nicholls
|  |
Beans was 4-months-old when he came into the Jaltemba Bay Animal Rescue (JBAR) spay and neuter clinic in Rincón de Guayabitos last April.

Lots of Changes to Jaltemba Bay Life
and Jaltemba Bay Folk
|
Our programmers took a short break this week, so watch for more fun improvements in the next issue!
In case you missed it, we have already implemented these great new features during our annual summer website update:
UPDATE: Improved Deals & $pecials
We have totally overhauled our Deals & $pecials options. Users can now sort current deals and specials by price (low to high), expiration date, location, recommendations and name of rental. Hotel and rental owners can now add up to two deals at once and they can be offered for a longer period of time. If you haven't already booked a place to stay next season, our Deals & $pecials page is a great place to start. View current Deals!
NEW: Live Forum Chat
Forum members can now interact with one another instantly via the new real-time chatroom on Jaltemba Bay Folk. In addition to a public chatroom, members can also initiate a one-on-one private chat with other online members on our forum. Click on the "Chat" tab to get started. Read MoreNEW: Home and Business Owner Discussion Forum
Based on an abundance of feedback, we have gone ahead and created a private subforum on Jaltemba Bay Folk for residents, homeowners and business owners. This is a place where residents and owners can have open and productive discussions about the sewer, water, healthcare, press and other issues that affect those of us who have a vested interest in our community. Read More
NEW: Translation Tool
Users are now able to translate the entire Jaltemba Bay Life website from English to Spanish or French. Yep, you asked and we listened!
UPDATE: Weather Station and Rental Buttons
You may have noticed that the rental and weather station buttons have disappeared from Jaltemba Bay Life. You can now find our Hotel & Vacation Rental Directory under the grey "Where To Stay" tab. The new weather button will move to it's new location in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can access our live local weather page via the "Weather" tab.
There are even more changes to come. If you can think of anything else you'd like us to add, please let us know!
