Letters to the
Editor
Hi,
Friends have been telling us about your wonderful newsletter and we
would very much like to be added to your list. We are wintering in
Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit for the eleventh year, but we are not
in an RV.
Thank you.

(Editors Note: The Express started 3 years ago as a Newsletter for
the La Peņita RV Resort & Spa but garnered such a large following
that this year we are focusing on the larger community. We are
nearing 800 subscribers and now only 10% are from the park. A very
important and vocal 10%. Make us your community newspaper by
submitting ideas, events and stories about Jaltemba Bay that
interest you)
Hi.
Love your pic on the newsletter, you both look great! We are
fine. Settling in and enjoying getting acclimated to our area. I
could use a little heat and sun about now. Enjoy the holidays.
Glad to hear Jaime and Hinde opening up another place.....Hugs all
round.
Jocelyn
Editor, Once again, kudos for a superb idea. Your email news is
good for everyone. Case in point --- Blanca and Steve Dickinson
now live outside Dallas and can keep track of friends (Enrique
Pena) and news each day. They send Thanksgiving wishes to all
their U.S. friends.

Community Invitation
YOU ARE INVITED
TO THE VERY
FIRST ANNUAL
'MEET THE ARTIST' EXHIBITION AND SALE
DATE:
Sunday, December 10, 2006
PLACE:
Casa de Los Amigos
TIME:
Noon 'til Sunset
Refreshments Will be Served
BRING
YOUR FRIENDS!
Casa de Los Amigos is located north of the old
cemetery on Calle
Mirador, No. 3, La Penita. Go through the gate to
the top of the hill. Limited parking is available.
Judy Kerrigan, a self-taught artist from San
Miguel de Allende, Mexico, will exhibit
her paintings at Casa de Los Amigos in La
Penita de Jaltemba, Mexico.
Judy hails from New Orleans which was her home
before moving to San Miguel de Allende ten years
ago. Her interest in painting began when she
took several lessons from a friend, Jeff Coffin,
who is an artist in San Miguel. Beyond that
she has had no formal training but has been
painting for the past ten years.
Her paintings have been displayed in galleries
and in various shows in San Miguel including the
well known Instituto de Allende, which is
a campus of The Universidad de
Guanajuato dedicated to the arts.
Other paintings in the U.S. and Mexico are
in private collections and art shops in
Louisiana and Mississippi where her paintings
have been well received with a wide audience.
Among her most popular paintings is a series
called "Mexico's White Churches" which are done
in her own individual 'naive' art style for
which she is well known. She will also
show HER VERSION of some of the Great Masters,
such as Picasso, Mattisse, Modigliani and T.
Loutrec, to name a few. Her current work
includes a "Beach" series which, she says is
"her own favorite so far."

Ms Maneras
Dear Ms Maneras, I gave my housekeeper at the hotel a very large tip last week and she looked at it and gave it back. "No Buenos" she said as she passed it back, shrugged and smiled. I was insulted. It was well over $10 in quarters! Why wasn't it enough? Ken
Dear Ken, Ms Maneras thinks you should read a few guidebooks before you leave home. Better yet you should consider for just one tiny moment THAT YOU ARE IN MEXICO. Quarters have no value here. Nadda. Nothing. While banks will give people exchange for the American dollar bills, they will not give exchange for coin. Therefore you gave her nothing for her services. Ms Maneras
Ms M
Dear Ms Maneras, I was at a restaurant last night and the table next to me was very loud and rude. They were saying things such as "I just can't take this about Mexico, I just can't believe that...." They then started to make jokes about the waitress. I nearly died because the waitress understands English but doesn't have the confidence to speak. What should I have done? I felt bad for Tina and I wanted to tell the group something.... Ted
Dear Ted, Ms Maneras thinks that it is ironic that visitors come to Mexico and then want things to be just like back home. She wonders why they waste their money to travel. While some would call them xenophobic, Ms Maneras prefers to refer to them as dumb-ass idiots. Perhaps the next time a similar situation arises you might speak to your server in English and remark loudly that her English comprehension is perfect. Mexicans need to hear how much we love and appreciate their country and hospitality. Ms Maneras
Ms M
Dear Ms Maneras, I don't know what to do about my husband. Every time I go out he follows me. If that's not enough he has started to wear a tight revealing Speedo. It's a God-awful sight and when my neighbor next door saw him, locked his doors and turned off the lights. What can I do? Jane
Dear Jane, Ms Maneras thinks that you should put down your stilettos he should his Speedo. Figuratively speaking of course. Call a truce. Donate cash to the turtle fund. Ms Maneras

Wanted Good Home for Puppy
This photo is of the cutest, calmest,
most affectionate little dog I have ever met. She
is 2 1/2 months old, has been spayed (yesterday),
and is looking for a new home. Will remain a very
small dog, some type of Chihuahua cross. Not
yappy. Her name is Milagrosita and she lives in La Colonia with a nice family that has too many dogs. Contact hearob@island.net as the owner (Cecelia) does not speak English or have e-mail.

good dog kennel for our two golden
retrievers over Christmas (Dec. 23 to 30th). email larone@tcc.on.ca"

Horseback Riding Tours of the Area
Everyone meets at the crucero of the 200 and Ursulo
Galvan. we then take a drive through the farming
country to the Rancho Guadalupe for a wonderful
breakfast of Mexican tacos. Make your own fresh
tortillas if you want. We then meet our horse
friends for the day and begin the trip.
We have designed both easy and semi difficult trips depending on people's desires. The easier trips are a combination of farmlands, riverbeds and roads, lots of scenery and plant and animal life. These trips are from 2 to 3 hours long. The more difficult trip consists of roads, farmlands, and trails which lead up and over a ridge and down to the river and waterfalls and pools. Somewhat arduous in places but if a person is somewhat familiar with horses, it shouldn't be a problem. It is lengthy however lasting about 2 and a half hours one way to the cascadas and 2 hours for return. Upon return we are greeted by a traditional Mexican lunch. Beer and frescas are available for purchase. The cost of the trips are 300 pesos for the shorter trips and 400 pesos for the long trip. People should wear long pants and socks. Bring sunblock and bug dope, any kind of snacks for the trail, water, camera and binocs. Organize your own group at least 2 days in advance - Minimum of 4 people and a Maximum of 8. For questions and reservations contact Gary@garydorisstackhouse@hotmail.com
We never share or sell our email lists. All names and
addresses remain confidential.
