by Robert Koch

This photo was taken either in Los Ayala or Lo de Marcos (I can't remember which). I like the action of the beautiful little girl and the dedicated look the dog is giving her... is it love or food? Read More

This year we are ready for a new adventure and plan on spending the holidays in these great towns to the north and are so excited to see more of our much loved Mexico. Thank you for this wonderful publication!"

by Ellaine & Doug Spivak

I was motivated to write this follow-up article after reading "The Almost Invisible Iguana" by Conrad Stenton from Midland Ontario in last week's Jaltemba Bay Life newsletter.
