George & Loretta’s Bar Open 2 – 2 24/7
The newest bar in town, Los Compadres has opened on the hill overlooking the town of La Peñita. George and Loretta Leavitt opened the bar on Thursday without notifying the local media or otherwise creating the usual opening night fan fair.
“I saw Jaime and he asked if we were going to be opened as we planned. I of course said yes and then hurried up the hill to tell Loretta we were open,” explains George.
The bar is the first community bar on the hills. “We want the bar (and soon to be restaurant) to be the kind of place you come up and chat with your neighbors. Comfortable and easy,” explains Leavitt.
T he bar is easy to find. Drive east on the Avenida and cross Highway 200 up past the Miramar Meat Market and up the hill to the end of the road. The massive brick complex is hard to miss! Ample parking in front. The bar is just up a flight of stairs through a saloon door entry.
When you enter you will be amazed at the view a nd impressed by the quality of the construction. The 40 ft long bar overlooks the growing town and the Pacific Ocean. The interior brick work is best this author has seen with artistic detail evident throughout the complex. Loretta and George have outfitted the bar with a pool table, juke box, karaoke and 2 big screen TV’s. “Angel” the barman, is ready to take your orders behind the well stocked bar. (Click on map to view in larger format.)
The Compadres Complex will soon open the restaurant above the bar after staff is selected and well trained. Spacious up-scale apartments for visitors have been added and are nearly ready for occupancy. “We’re not in a rush,” says George. “We’re here to do it right. We’re not going anywhere. This is our home and our community and we are here for the long term.”
Compadres will soon be the hub for parties, special events, weddings and important business meetings. The spacious decks, pool area, bar/restaurant and rooms will ensure a very comfortable stay and the hosts – Loretta and George – will be on hand to make it is a memorable experience.
Drop by. Say hello.
Come by for a free margarita for the ladies on Valentines Day.

Dear Ms Maneras
I have missed you where have you been? You are the main reason I read the Jaltemba Express! I have lots of problems I need answers to and cannot find them anywhere but through your wisdom. Please come back!

Pease cancel my check cancellation message. I finally did what you said to do. Click on yesterday paper and found it.
Guess no rest for the wicked - even on road trips

ROAD LOG PRAISE
Hello Dot and Bill,
Well, all I can say is, "Thank you, thank you, thank you". Your travel log from Nogales to Puerto Vallarta was a tremendous help! We have traveled this highway several times and made it each time but, what we found most invaluable, was the listing of Pemexes, agricultural stops, not that we were looked at this time just waved through, the bumps and grinds, turns, signage, roads to various RV parks, etc. etc. etc. It takes the guesswork out of wondering when the next Pemex is going to appear when you're almost out of gas and all that kind of stuff. We have recommended your wonderful tool to every RVer from San Carlos, our first overnighter, Alamos, Celestino RV park and now in Tepic, safe and sound thanks to you folks, and of course the sterling driving of myself, Moss, and my excellent co-pilot Bonnie. Hoping someday to run into you on this well traveled road. Hasta luego,
Mossimo y Bonita Holland
APPRECIATION
We’ve been coming here forever and can’t believe what a difference there is this year! Restaurants are full especially if there is music and dancing. Events are packed. The concert in Guayabitos has three times the crowd as last year. Ditto for the fall fundraiser. Good charities are getting donations.
So what’s the difference?
The Jaltemba Express has really pulled the community together. People know where to go, what is happening and where to donate money and or time. We love it.
Hope you are getting lots of encouragement and hugs along the way. Restaurants and organizers should be welcoming you guys with open arms. Know the community does.
John and Anne
(Editors Note: Thanks. Really. We appreciate your kind words.)
BUBBA & THE BOTTOM FEEDERS IN BUCERIAS
Oh my heavens - what an energetic and fun audience this past Sunday. From the opening song, we had dancers, can shakers and everything else one could possibly expect. And, to add to the fun and enjoyment of the day - Shag Harbour, a trio from Canada, entertained during the break with some very lively Irish and ‘down East’ tunes - a fantastic trio that had the audience burning up the dance floor.
And once again, this audience showed that they care about the less fortunate in our local communities with their generosity - making this the 2nd best day of this season. Thank you for caring.
Check our website for more on the day and also for news on the next two Sundays - which promise to be a couple of the best yet.- www.bottomfeedersmexico.com
Sunday, February 4, 2007 - Super Bowl party - music starts at 3:30 PM (Jalisco)
Sunday, February 11, 2007 - Auction - the fun gets underway at 3:00 PM (Jalisco) and you don't want to miss this.

Thanks for all of your help and support!

For Polite Living in Paradise
I have a friend who cannot keep a secret. Every time I tell him something sensitive, he goes and blabbers it to the world. I really like the guy but he just can't keep his mouth shut!
Ms Maneras is always stumped. When men pass comments it is always called valuable information. When women do it, they are called gossips.
However, that aside, your problem friend is just eager to share information and sometimes that can lead to trouble with lost confidences and hurt feelings. You have three choices.
1. Continue as is and be prepared for him to rumor-monger
2. Don't tell him anything "sensitive"
3. Tell him a phony story. A big one. When the truth immerges he will not trust your information and be less likely to repeat it to others.
By the way, when you pass information to him, aren't you blabbering too?
I have missed you where have you been? You are the main reason I read the Jaltemba Express! I have lots of problems I need answers to and cannot find them anywhere but through your wisdom. Please come back!
Ms Maneras has been occupied as of late working with the very unhappy staff at the newspaper. Virtual paperboys continue to get blamed for late and poor deliveries. The restaurant Critics are on an eat to rule campaign. She has simply got her hands full but agrees that her primary role is to help those with their Problemas in Paradise. Please except my apologies.
If you have lots of problems, please write Ms Maneras C/O the editor. She will be pleased to make suggestions and comments.
My husband doesn't like dancing and I do. He will maybe dance once or twice with me over a given evening. Usually when we go to various restaurants he just sits there and I have either sit there being frustrated or grab a single guy and boogie. If I do the latter he get jealous. Whatz a girl to do?
Ms Maneras thinks you should not give up dancing. Your husband should kindly GET OVER IT and boogey his but off.
The trick is to whisper in his ear that you find him incredibly sexy when he dances. Compliment him and be more affectionate than usual. Nibble on his ear.
Many husbands are on the get lucky plan. For every five dances......well my dear, you get the message. Why do you think there are so many husbands on the dance floor?

Humor
Not so Dumb- Submitted by Bungalows Alexa
A little girl walks by a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the girl over and asks, "Which do you want"? The little blonde takes the quarters and leaves.
"What did I tell you"? said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same little girl coming out of the ice cream store.
"Hey, kid! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill"?
The girl licked her cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over."
