Greetings 6,477 El Sayulero Readers,

 

Though the "Official" Sayulita day/night concluded this morning at around 4AM the rides, games, food and music will stick around through the weekend and few of the vendors will be here for another week to come.  Unfortunately the mushy ball field and bridge construction forced the final night's celebrations into a variety of alternative locations and the feeling of one giant fiesta was not as great as years past.  It still is the one night a year when ALL of Sayulitians head out to celebrate and the sea of familiar faces is a great site!

 

Choice of the week:  If you do not make it down to the Sayulita Farmers' Market every Friday morning, you are missing an incredible array of organic and naturally prepared items for sale.  Approximately 30 vendors line the corner sidewalks selling something for everyone.  Show up for breakfast and buy some groceries for the rest of the week.  El Sayulero thanks the incredibly talented and dedicated group of volunteers who organize this community event every week.  Way to go!

 

forumUpdated Sayulita Forum:  In case you have not visited for a while, please take a look at the new Sayulita Community Forum.  We are still working on a few programming issues and welcome your comments.  There is a thread specially designated to improving the forum.  Help make Sayulita a better place by contributing your knowledge for other residents and visitors.

 

 

San Pancho LifeMusic in San Pancho:  Our neighbors to the north begin their 11th annual San Pancho Music festival weekend today with a wide array of musical talent from all over the world.   Head on up there this evening or check out SanPanchoLife.com for more information.

 

 

alaska airOne more reason to head to Sayulita:  As you can see on the Alaska Air website, there are some super deals for flights to Puerto Vallarta.  If you have not yet, now is the perfect time to book your vacation to Sayulita.

 

Sayulita's Loss:  Finally, as you will see below Sayulita lost another young and loved member of our community.  I fight back tears when working with Lindsay trying to decide how to word these types of public announcements since they are truly the last thing I ever thought I would publish when starting a community newsletter.  Hopefully all our readers can take just a brief moment to reflect on how fortunate family can be and how we should never take any of our relationships for granted.  We miss you Cory!

 

Thank you for reading El Sayulero.

=========================================

Saludos a los 6,458 lectores de El Sayulero,    

 

Aunque el d�a/noche de Sayulita concluyo esta la madruga a las 4 AM, los juego mec�nicos, comida y m�sica durar� todo el resto del fin de semana y algunos de los vendedores se quedar�n otra semana m�s. Desafortunadamente, debido a la tierra mojada en el campo de b�isbol y la construcci�n del puente hicieron que las celebraciones finales se tuvieron que cambiar a otras ubicaciones y no se sinti� la vibra de una sola fiesta grande como anos pasados. Aun as� es la noche en que todos de Sayulita salen a festejar.

 

Elecci�n de la semana: Si has ido al mercado del pueblo todos los viernes en la ma�ana, te pierdes una gama de alimentos org�nicos y naturales que se venden. Aproximadamente 30 vendedores se ponen en las banquetas para vender algo para todos. Llega a desayunar y compra tu mandado para toda la semana. El Sayulero agradece a los voluntarios talentosos y dedicados que organizan este evento comunitario todos los viernes. Animo!

 

Actualizaci�n del foro de Sayulita: Por si no has visitado el foro en un tiempo, echa un vistazo a la nueva aparici�n del foro comunitario. Todav�a estamos trabajando en algunos asuntos al respeto de la programaci�n y sus comentarios est�n bienvenidos. Hay un vi�nculo designado para mejorar el foro. Ayuden a hacer Sayulita un mejor lugar por contribuir sus conocimientos para otros residentes y visitantes.

 

Otra raz�n para llegar a Sayulita: Como pueden ver en el sitio web de Alaska Airlines, hay buenos precios de vuelos a Puerto Vallarta. Si aun no has reservado, ahora es el momento para venir a Sayulita.

 

M�sica en San Pancho: Nuestros vecinos al norte inician su 11 � edici�n del festival de m�sica hoy con una variedad de talentos musicales de todas partes del mundo. Vayan hoy a escuchar la m�sica o vean SanPanchoLife.com para m�s informaci�n.

 

La p�rdida de Sayulita: Al final, como puedes ver abajo, Sayulita perdi� otro miembro joven de la comunidad. Lucho por contener las l�grimas cuando trabajo con Lindsay sobre este tipo de publicaciones y que decidir escribir para este clase de anuncio ya que en verdad son lo ultimo que pens� que iba a tener que publicar cuando empec� con el bolet�n comunitario. Espero que todos nuestros lectores pueden tomar un momento para pensar en lo importante que es la familia y no deber�amos de olvidar nuestras relaciones. �Te extra�amos Cory!

  Sayulitanimals - Poison is Not the Answer        
Poison

By Sayulitanimals

 

Poisoning an animal causes extreme pain and is a cruel, slow death that should not be given to any living creature, and yet people around town are still poisoning cats and dogs! This should not even be considered a method of animal control. To make this worse, someone has been poisoning other people's dogs! More >

Envenenar un animal le causa un dolor extremo y es una muerte lenta y cruel que no se debe dar a cualquier ser viviente.  �Sin embargo algunas personas del pueblo siguen envenanando los perros y gatos! Esto ni siquiera debiera ser considerado como un m�todo de control de animales. Para empeorar, �alguien ha estado envenenando a las mascotas de otras personas! Mas > 

  Surf: Personal History, Mazatlan Waves      
Playa Bruja, Mazatlan

By Justin Henderson 


Mazatlan is too far away to make the usual Sayulita surf map so forgive this digression, but...in 1948, my parents, wanderers both, met in Mazatlan at the Hotel Freeman on the Avenida de las Olas Altas, at a party thrown by the Mexican author Octavio Paz to honor the visiting American "celebrity" Margaret Sanger, in town to promote the new idea of birth control. My Dad was in his mid-thirties, a writer down from LA to find his voice; my mom, 22 years old, was an adventurous girl from a small town in Texas, a college dropout wandering alone in Mexico  More >

  The Little Bee       
The Little Bee

By Maria Zache 


Why ever leave our lovely little Sayulita? There really aren't many reasons to do so, but those pesky bureaucratic details of the lives of residents do necessitate at least a couple of trips to Bucerias during the season. Bucerias, the next major town to the south of Sayulita on Highway 200, is about halfway between Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita. After visits to the bank, the immigration office (to renew visas) and the municipal office (to pay property taxes) and much standing in line, my husband agreed to a "reward" visit to the spice store, The Little Bee.  More >

�Por qu� salimos de nuestro peque�o y encantador pueblo, Sayulita? Realmente no hay muchas razones para hacerlo, pero esos molestos detalles burocr�ticos de la vida de los residentes requieren por lo menos un par de viajes a Bucer�as durante la temporada. Bucer�as, la pr�xima comunidad importante al sur de Sayulita en la carretera 200, est� a medio camino entre Puerto Vallarta y Sayulita. Despu�s de las visitas al banco, la oficina de inmigraci�n (para renovar las visas), la oficina municipal (a pagar impuestos de la propiedad) y despu�s de haber pasado mucho tiempo haciendo cola, mi esposo estaba de acuerdo con una "recompensa" - una visita a la tienda de especias, La Abejita.   Mas >

  Fitness: Tai Chi in Sayulita    

By Narayani 

Tai Chi
Walking along the Sayulita beach on the north end near the big rocks, it's easy to find from time to time a couple people doing gentle movements, like a slow and conscious dance. I was practicing Tai Chi myself one evening when a group of children behind me looked at me astonished and copied my movements almost naturally ..... we were doing Tai Chi.  More >
 
Caminando por la playa en Sayulita hacia el norte, cerca de las piedras del final de tanto en tanto nos podemos encontrar con una o dos personas realizando movimientos suaves, como una danza lenta y conciente. Estaba yo misma practicando tai Chi un atardecer cuando un grupo de ni�os detras mio me miraban asombrados y copiaban mis movimientos casi de manera natural.....estabamos haciendo Tai Chi.  Mas >
Pet of the Week:  Napoleon A.K.A. Pinto    
Napoleon
Napoleon, a.k.a. Pinto, is not currently for adoption.  He is yet another example of the ignorance and cruelty we are fighting here in Sayulita.  He is an "owned" dog who has never really been cared for.  He lived in front of the families house, was given food every now and then, and when he got badly hit by a car no one did anything to help him.  Finally the family moved and left Napoleon behind to fend for himself.  For months he suffered from neglect, pain and abandonment, until he was brought to our attention in the last Spay and Neuter Campaign.  He is a lovely dog with the sweetest, saddest face we've ever seen.  He is now part of the Medical Aid Program and is getting treatment for his busted leg, severe skin infection, and malnutrition.  When he is healthy, he will go back to the neighborhood he was found in.  He loves his freedom, and we will keep a close eye on him and feed him daily.  If you could offer him safety and freedom, we would love to talk with you.

For information and/or donations, please come visit the Sayulitanimals' table on Fridays at the Farmer's Market.

To adopt this pet or make a donation, please contact sayulitanimals

NapoleonNapole�n, tambi�n conocido como Pinto, actualmente no esta en adopcion. �l es otro ejemplo de la ignorancia y la crueldad contra que estamos luchando aqu� en Sayulita. �l tiene dueno que nunca lo ha cuidado. Viv�a frente a la casa de la familia, le daban comida de vez en cuando, y cuando fue golpeado gravemente por un coche, nadie hizo nada para ayudarlo. Por fin, la familia se mud� y dejaron a Napole�n ahi atras. Durante meses hab�a sufrido dolor y abandono, hasta que fue tra�do a nuestra atenci�n en la �ltima clinica de Esterilizaci�n y Castraci�n. �l es un perro encantador con la cara m�s dulce y m�s triste, que hemos visto. Actualmente es parte del Programa de Asistencia M�dica y est� recibiendo tratamiento para su pierna rota, la infecci�n severa de la piel, y la desnutrici�n. Cuando est� sano, va a volver al barrio donde fue encontrado, le encanta su libertad, y vamos a mantener una vigilancia sobre �l y darle de comer a diario. Si pudiera ofrecerle seguridad y la libertad, nos gustar�a hablar con usted.

Sayulita Beauty Pageant     
The beauty pageant for the Miss Sayulita Days Queen was held on Tuesday night., produced by our own Y�sica Doreli Ramos G�mez. It was quite an extravaganza--there were 4 lovely local beauties who participated, plus the San Pancho folk dancers for entertainment--and as all things go here in Mexico, it went on a little later than I expected. Unlike the little girl with the teddy bear, I had traveled all day and wasn't able to stay up for the end, so I waited until the Sayulita Days Parade to see who won. You'll have to click below to see all the photos and find out who La Reina is as well....

El concurso de belleza de la Se�orita Reina de Sayulita D�as se celebr� el martes por la noche, producido por nuestra propia Y�sica Doreli Ramos G�mez. Fue todo un espect�culo - hubo cuatro bellezas encantadoras locales que participaron, adem�s de los bailarines de San Pancho para el entretenimiento - y como todas las cosas aqu� en M�xico, se acab� un poco m�s tarde de lo que esperaba. A diferencia de la ni�a con el oso de peluche, hab�a viajado todo el d�a y estaba demasiado cansada para estar para el final, as� que esper� hasta que el desfile el jueves para ver qui�n gan�. Tiene que hacer clic a continuaci�n para ver todas las fotos y saber quien es la Reina.
