Greetings 5,479 El Sayulero Readers,

I trust this exceptional Sayulita summer is treating everyone well and those who are out of town this season are enjoying the summer with friends and family. These have been perfect days in Sayulita to head to the beach, enjoy the warm ocean water and a less crowded village all the way around. Although there are not as many tourists at the beach as in our high season, we are seeing quite a few European visitors in  Sayulita this summer.

Frontier Airlines has announced flight service from St. Louis to Puerto Vallarta and  Alaska Airlines posted a recent article on a San Diego-Puerto Vallarta route that Alaska Airlines will begin on November 12, 2010 to end on April 11, 2011.

Men's Fitness magazine has named Sayulita among their list of top Five Fantasy Adventures. Click and scroll down the list to check out more on what this article has to say about Sayulita as a fantasy destination.

The New York Times has posted a survey asking their readers to vote for the Best Places to Travel in 2010 El Sayulero encourages all Sayulero readers to register (free and easy) and vote in this survey. Show the world that Sayulita is one of the best places to travel this coming year. Sayulita is number 60 on this (up from 279) thanks to everyone who has voted so far.

Sayulita Boomtown
BoomtownBy: Leah Jewall

SAYULITA VERDE - A Community Initiative
with an Interest in a Greener Sayulita


Last summer, 2009, Sayulita Verde planted close to 300 trees (most of them native) in various public places in Sayulita including the river banks and along roads and highways. In addition many trees were freely distributed to local residents who requested them to plant on their lots or in their ranchos.

All of these efforts have been by volunteers ..... digging, preparing holes and planting with careful preparation and sturdy protection used to ensure the highest survival. This has proved to be successful, with only a handful of losses. A continuing program of maintenance and watering has been undertaken. Those involved are pleased with the outcome, and  we have been receiving lots of positive feedback from local people, and visitors to our town who have endorsed and donated funds to our continuing work.                                                                    
Now we need to form a team of dedicated volunteers to plant this summer's trees 
We plan to start planting around the middle of July, after we have had several good rains. If you are interested or can help please phone:
Luisa  322 135 5150   OR      Daniel   329 291 2037  
      
Donations of your time, equipment, plants and or funds are greatly appreciated and will support the natural-and-Green-Development of Sayulita *

Take Your Kid to Work (every) Day!
Kids at workBy Andrea Villarrubia

Lately I've been reflecting on the wonderfully supportive and practical culture that we live in, where many a kid grows up next to their working parents - under a desk, in a shop, behind the counter of a restaurant as mom or dad run the business or attend to customers.

De recien he estado pensando en la cultura familiar en que vivimos, donde muchos niños crecen cerca de sus padres trabajando - debajo de un escritorio, en la tienda, ayudando en la cocina del restaurante mientras que mamá o papá atiende a los clientes.

Surfing Hurts
SurfBy: Justin Henderson

Every sport has its pains. Think tennis elbow,runner's knee, a torn rotator cuff in baseball, the broken everything you get playing tackle football. Surfing has its share as well. This is about some of the specific ways that surfing hurts.   More >
 
Cada deporte tiene sus dolores. Piense en el codo de tenista, la rodilla de corredor, un desgarro del manguito rotador en el béisbol, y el roto de todo jugando fútbol americano.

Grupo Pro Sayulita - A Personal
View of Our Two Cultures
GPS By: Grupo Pro Sayulita - Eric Rudd

As everyone knows, Sayulita has undergone a big change, from a poor fishing village to a major tourist destination that has stimulated tremendous growth and an influx of new residents.  Some Gringos view this as good and others see it as ruining the charm.  Mexican residents are equally split.  What I've been focusing on as President of Grupo Pro Sayulita is finding ways the two cultures can come together for common goals.  More >
 
Como todos saben, Sayulita ha experimentado un cambio grande, de una pobre aldea pequeña a un destino mayor del turismo que ha estimulado un crecimiento tremendo. Algunos Gringos lo ven como bueno y otros lo ven como arruinando el encanto del pueblo. Los residentes mexicanos son iguales en su diferencia de opinión. Lo que he estado centrándome como presidente de Grupo ProSayulita es encontrar maneras en que las dos culturas pueden reunirse para objetivos comunes. Mas >
 
The Mexican Pantry
Food By: Maria Zache

"What's for Dinner?", the oft-repeated query that must be answered every day is a cliché for a reason. To point out that our bodies must be fueled seems such an obvious statement and so much has been written about providing that fuel, it seems almost ridiculous to mention it again. In addition, the subject of easy weeknight meals has really been quite well-covered in the food writing world. But there we are: it's late afternoon, time to head toward home and the daily question looms, waiting patiently (or not) to be answered. What's for dinner?

"¿Qué hay de cena?"  Esta pregunta repetida a menudo y que necesita respuesta cada día es un cliché por buena razón. Para indicar que nuestro cuerpo debe ser alimentado parece una afirmación tan obvia y mucho se ha escrito proporcionar esta energía, parece casi ridículo mencionarlo de nuevo. Además, el tema de preparar comidas rápidas durante la semana ha sido bastante bien escrito en el mundo del alimento. Pero ahí estamos: por la tarde, en la hora de dirigirnos hacia el hogar y la pregunta diaria resuena, esperando pacientemente (o no) a ser contestada. ¿Qué hay para cenar? Mas >
 
Beaches Around Sayulita
Kids By: Astrid Vanya

The greatest thing about Sayulita is that there are lots of beaches. Since it is summer vacation we can go to different beaches everyday! The beaches I like are Enclote, Litibu, La Lancha, Sayulita Beach and Los Muertos. The reason why I like Enclote is because there is food that you can buy at restaurants.  More >
 
Lo bueno de Sayulita es que hay muchas playas. Puesto que estamos en vacaciones de verano, ¡se puede ir a diferentes playas todos los días!  Las playas que me gustan son Enclote, Litibú, La Lancha, Los Muertos y la playa de Sayulita. Me gusta la playa Enclote porque hay comida que se puede comprar en los restaurantes.Mas >
Chicharras in Sayulita
nature By: Octavia & Daniel

Every year, a few weeks before the first rains come, when the jungle is hot and dry, the cicadas begin singing in the evening just around sunset. It is a shrilling sound that leaves you wondering what could create such a loud, piercing noise. When you find the source of the sound, it is surprising to find that it is an insect, perching calmly on the branch of a tree, creating one of the most distinct songs of the tropical forest. Locally they are called chicharras, and when they appear everyone recognizes that the first rains are not far off. 
More >

Cada año, unas semanas antes de las primeras lluvias, cuando la selva es cálido y seco, las cigarras comienzan a cantar en la noche a la vuelta de la puesta del sol. Es un sonido estridente que te deja pensando lo que podría crear un ruido fuerte y penetrante. Cuando encuentre la fuente del sonido, es sorprendente encontrar que se trata de un insecto, posarse tranquilamente en la rama de un árbol, creando una de las canciones más claras de la selva tropical. Localmente se les llama chicharras, y cuando aparecen todo el mundo reconoce que las primeras lluvias no están lejos.

Pet of the Week: "Cuervo"
Cuervo
This is Cuervo. He avoided being neutered in May and then he got hit by a car in June and had been living with a very painful broken leg and getting skinnier since then, due to total neglect by his "owner". A Sayulitanimals volunteer brought him to the clinic for advice from Dr. Charlotte Burns on Sunday, the second day of the spay/neuter clinic. He was so compromised and weak that we debated the pros&cons of trying to help him. The "owners" had relinquished him to us. As a group we decided to help him. His leg was amputated and he was neutered. He spent the night on IV fluids, antibiotics and good pain medication. The next morning we were greeted with a weak tail wag. Every day since, this lovely black dog is getting stronger, happier and more loving. It is truly amazing how getting rid of a painful leg, some good food, love and a safe place to say can rehabilitate a wonderful being.
Support Sayulitanimals! Only with your donation are we able to continue with actively helping the poorest dogs and cats. Or become a foster parent and be the link from misery to happiness for a four legged (or three legged!) friend.

please contact Sara Briner of Sayulitanimals to adopt or make donations.
 
CuervoEl es Cuervo. Evitó ser esterilizado en mayo y luego fues atropellado por un coche en junio y había estado viviendo con una pierna rota muy dolorosa. ha estado más flaco desde entonces, debido al descuidado total por su "dueño". Un voluntario en Sayulitanimals lo llevó a la clínica para el consejo de la Dra. Charlotte Burns el domingo, el segundo día de la clinica de esterilización. Estaba tan herido y débil que estabamos pensando en los pros y contras de tratar de ayudarlo. Los "dueños" le habían abandonado y lo dejaron con nosotros. Como grupo decidimos que lo ibamos a ayudar. Su pierna fue amputada y él fue castrado. Pasó la noche en los líquidos intravenosos, antibióticos y medicamentos para el dolor. En la mañana nos saludaro con su colita débil. Todos los días desde entonces, este hermoso perro negro es cada vez más fuerte, más feliz y más amoroso. Es verdaderamente asombroso cómo deshacerse de una pierna que duele, con buena comida, el amor y un lugar seguro para que pueda rehabilitar un ser maravilloso.
Sayulitanimals apoyo! Sólo con tu donativo podemos seguir con ayuda activamente a los más pobres perros y gatos. O convertirse en un padre de crianza temporal y ser el enlace de la miseria a la felicidad de uno de cuatro patas (o tres patas!) Amigo.

Interview With Charlotte Burns
An Honorary Sayulera

Where are you from? I grew up in Berkeley, California. I then moved to Boston to attend college. I am now living in California again.

¿De dónde eres? Me crecí en Berkeley, California. Luego me mudé a Boston para asistir la a universidad. Ahora vivo otra vez en California.

What made you become a voluntary vet for the Sayulitanimals Spay and Neuter clinics here in Sayulita? Dr. Holmes, a vet who had made a trip to Sayulita to be part of a previous spay and neuter clinic back in January, told me about the program and about the town of Sayulita. We work in neighbouring towns and often have veterinary meetings. Dr. Holmes discussed his experience here in Sayulita at one of these local veterinary meetings and I was interested in what he had to say about Sayulita and Sayulitanimals. Dr. Holmes was planning another trip down in March and I decided to also come down to be a part of the Spay and Neuter Clinic.

¿Qué es lo que te hizo querer ser veterinaria voluntaria en la clínica de esterilización de Sayulitanimals aquí en Sayulita? Dr. Holmes, un veterinario que llegó a Sayulita para participar en una clínica de esterilización en enero, me contó sobre el programa de Sayulitanimals y sobre Sayulita. Trabajamos en pueblos vecindarios y a menudo tenemos juntas para los veterinarios. En una de estas juntas Dr. Holmes habló sobre su experiencia aquí en Sayulita y sobre Sayulitanimals. Me interesaba mucho lo que decía sobre Sayulita y Sayulitanimals. Dr. Holmes estaba planeando otro viaje a Sayulita en marzo, así que decidí venir con él para participar también en la campaña de esterilización.
