I got a call from a friend who met Peter and his wife Susan while on vacation in Yelapa, last week. Peter, a former music agent had visited Yelapa 40 years ago and what makes this story rare is that he was able to find his original photos sitting on top of the box of a lifetime of photos. Many a photo has been taken of our amazing community but rarely do they return to be enjoyed. We met and had a great afternoon telling stories and good food …they offered the photos for your viewing. In the photos…Peter is easily recognized as well as the sultry Academy Awards Nominee..Karen Black. Look for Water Taxi Jack and his first vehicle, Octavio’s sister…Socorro, Luis Reynoso’s great grandfather, The Eclipse Cafe and more! All photographs are owned and shot by Peter Rachtman and permission is necessary to utilize or publicize these photos in any way.

Donaldo is the perfect choice to hit the first ball out on this years Yelapa Croquet Tournament. His spirit is what the International community was built on… part Gypsy, part Social Misfit, Artist and Poet… all mixed together. The Valentines Masquerade Party is one of the largest gringo events of the year.
