Volume 4 - Issue 22

November 2002

Welcome back to Another Day in Paradise!

This issue kicks off our fourth season in paradise and I couldn't be happier to be back again.  It's issue number 22 if you're counting -and I am!

We've made some changes and added some new features this season. A friend suggested a letter from the editor page and I thought how fun, a whole 'nother page of self indulgence, Yeah! I'll do it!

Then everyone always asks why we don't have a tidy little box that lists the staff and contact info and contributors like a real magazine. and well, why not?  So here it is.the list of our esteemed columnists and contributors, plus a want ad... gotta get some more names up there.-No, there's not much money in it but I'll give you an impressive sounding title: Senior Art Director, Head of Advertising Sales, Distribution and Circulation Coordinator.its either that or start making up names.

Starting in December we'll be introducing columns on Architecture & Dream Houses and Tropical Plants & Gardens, so if you know of an area property or garden you'd like to see featured, let us know. As well as a few more surprises lined up for next month!

This month we fondly remember local painter and legend Peter Schworer who we lost this year.  His painting of sailboats on La Ropa graces the cover to happily remind us of his colorful vibrant personality we miss so much.   Then we go to San Jeronimito for the annual regatta, Captain Ed highlights Captain Pepino in his ongoing Meet the Captains series, Professor Gregg talks about the history of the Catholic Church in Mexico, Ms. Brown covers the social scene in Z-Scene (I know you look there first! It's page 15 ), Wibke finds Fabrice at Bistro Taboga,  and since it's November Ms. Moore offers up some Day of the Dead background and a recipe for Pan de Muerto, SOS BAHIA celebrates their 3rd anniversary, and then I digress a little with our Beach Reading Book review series, this month about biographies and women.  

So what are you waiting for? Turn the page!  Let's get this season started!
