Greetings 6,551 El Sayulero Readers,

 

Our perfect Sayulita weather has returned and stayed with us for the last two weeks. Sunny days, warm breezes, cool evenings, waves for surfers, and loaded fishing boats returning to our beaches remind us all why we chose this paradise for our home and/or vacation. If you are not here now then I highly encourage you to plan your vacation or return "home" ASAP. It really does seem as if this place is just "too good to be true!"

Some notable tidbits for this week include:

Sayulita Essay Contest: Yes, its true! $500 USD cash first place prize with some great alternate prizes as well. Pretty cool judges I might add. The article below explains all details plus you can visit the webpage here.

A Sayulita Magazine? Yes, the local gossip contains some truth. Sayulita is indeed going to have its very own full-color glossy magazine showcasing many of our villages most cherished attributes. Details to follow very soon.

Farmers' Market: I cannot say enough great things about our pueblo's local organic Farmers' Market. Every Friday morning alongside the river hosts a great array of just about everything you could ever want to eat in Mexico. Again, super congratulations to all the organizers of this wonderful weekly community event.

Alaska Airlines Deals:  There are some great rates offered from West Coast airports to Puerto Vallarta.   (No, Alaska does not pay us to advertise this. We just want to help you all come visit Sayulita soon!)

I trust you will all enjoy this issue and as always, El Sayulero thanks its incredible talented team of nonpaid volunteer contributors. Muchas gracias a todos.

Thanks for reading,

March Bridge and River Update   

 By Leah Jewall

 
Bridge updateA temporary traffic sand bridge has been created at the river crossing at the foot of calle Palmar, replacing the pedestrian sand bridge made of wooden planks. Two culverts have been positioned under the bridge to facilitate the passage of the still-flowing river water. This welcome addition has made for a much smoother crossing, as it is wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic, and helps to ease congestion, particularly on the south end of Palmar.  More >

Un temporal puente del tr�fico de arena se ha creado en el cruce del r�o al pie de la calle Palmar, para reemplazar el puente peatonal de arena, hecho de tablones de madera. Dos alcantarillas se han colocado por debajo del puente para facilitar el paso del agua del r�o que a�n fluye. Esta adici�n ha hecho mucho m�s suave el cruce, ya que es lo suficientemente amplio para acomodar el tr�fico en ambos sentidos, y ayuda a aliviar la congesti�n del tr�fico, especialmente en el extremo sur del Palmar.

Ruben'sThere are a lot of construction projects underway in Sayulita and there is a similar look and feel to every one. The men on the job work very hard, long hours, under a hot sun and are as efficient as they can be without using fancy construction equipment. It's all by hand.  More >

Hay un mont�n de proyectos de construcci�n en marcha en Sayulita y hay un aspecto similar a cada uno. Los hombres en el trabajo un trabajo muy duro, muchas horas, bajo un sol caliente y son tan eficientes como pueden ser sin necesidad de utilizar equipos de construcci�n de lujo. Todo est� a mano.  Mas >
  What Time Is It?       
Daylight Savings

By Maria Zache 

 

Lately, I've been a little confused as to what time it is. The air conditioning mechanic in La Pe�ita told us to come back at 8:00 the next morning, when he would have the part. It wasn't until late that night in Sayulita that I remembered La Pe�ita is in the Mountain Time Zone as it has always been, and Sayulita was until last spring. (I'm glad that we didn't show up at 7:00!) More >

�ltimamente, he estado un poco confundida en cuanto a qu� hora es. El mec�nico de la tienda de aire acondicionado en La Pe�ita nos dijo que regresar�a a las 8:00 de la ma�ana siguiente cuando tendr�a la reparaci�n. No fue hasta entraba la noche en Sayulita que record� que La Pe�ita se encuentra en la zona de hora de la Monta�a, lo que siempre hab�a sido Sayulita hasta la primavera pasada. Mas >

  Sayulitanimals Medical Aid Success       

SayulitanimalsSayulitanimals' medical aid program is dependent on people like Wendy and Gabe Jones, two animal lovers from Vancouver BC who just moved to Sayulita last week with their Chihuahuas Chewy and Leeno. Moved by their first visit three years ago, they wanted to give back to Sayulita and its beautiful dog population. When they arrived, they told their property manager their desire to add a third dog to their family and immediately contacted Sayulitanimals with their willingness to help in any way.  More >

El programa de asistencia m�dica en Sayulitanimals depende de la gente como Wendy y Gabe Jones, dos amantes de los animales de Vancouver BC, que acaban de mudarse a Sayulita la semana pasada con sus chihuahuas Chewy y Leeno. Conmovidos por su primera visita a Sayulita hace tres a�os, quer�an devolver algo a la comunidad de Sayulita y a la poblaci�n de perros hermosos. Cuando llegaron, le dijeron a su administrador de la propiedad su deseo de a�adir un tercer perro a su familia y contactaron a Sayulitanimals inmediatamente diciendoles que estaban disponibles para ayudar en cualquier manera.  Mas >
GPS: Who Doesn't Have Internet Issues? 
By Grupo Pro Sayulitainternet issues
 
A week ago, I mentioned that we make slips.If you've read to the bottom of my El Sayulero articles, you'll notice that I post my email contact address in case anyone wants any specific information about Grupo Pro Sayulita or wants to contact me directly (hopefully about helping!) Well, it's been a very busy few months and I get a hundred emails a day, so I never noticed that none of them came via [email protected].Nor did I receive any emails via [email protected]More >

Hace una semana mencion� que hicimos errores. Si ha le�do al fondo de mis art�culos de El Sayulero, se nota que anuncio mi direcci�n de contacto por correo electr�nico en caso de que cualquier persona desee informaci�n espec�fica sobre GPS o si alguien quiera comunicarse directamente conmigo (�bienvenidos voluntarios!) Bien, han sido unos pocos meses muy ocupados y recibo cien correos electr�nicos por d�a, as� que no me di cuenta de que no llegara ninguno de ellos a trav�s del correo [email protected]. Tampoco recib� ning�n correo electr�nico a trav�s de [email protected].   Mas >

  Surf: Mea Culpa, Lo Siento, Surf's Up   
Mea Culpa

By Justin Henderson 


Recently it has been brought to my attention that in my zeal to talk about surfing in Sayulita and Nayarit, I have overstepped some boundaries with regard to giving out information on how to get to certain spots that may not be secret in the strictest sense of the word, but are still not on the general surfing radar map.

  Food: Mango Love    
mango

By Leah Jewall


Mangoes. I love everything about them, their size, color, taste, shape, feel, aroma, symbolism, origin, price, everything. Delicious and sensuous globules of lusciousness and tactile, fleshy softness, I want to ingest them from every pore, I want their juices coursing down my lips in a festival of apricot-hued sybaritic dreams. Did you know that orange is the color of love? If you like to wear orange, they say you believe in love. More >

Mangos. Me encanta todo sobre ellos, su tama�o, color, sabor, forma, sentir, aroma, simbolismo, origen, precio, todo. Deliciosos gl�bulos sensuales de exquisitez y suavidad al tacto carnoso, quiero ingerirlos por todos los poros; quiero que sus jugos de tonos anaranjados corran por mis labios en un festival de sue�os sibaritas. �Sab�a que naranja es el color del amor? Si a uno le gusta el color naranja, se dice que cree en el amor.  Mas >

 Wellness: Sayulita Smoothie   

By Josh & Shelly 

Sayulita Smoothie
Two weeks ago we asked, "who makes the best Sayulita Smoothie"? Several of you questioned our definition of what we consider "best."  Was it taste first, nutritional benefits second, or the other way around?Good question.   More >

  Wellness:  Spring Time... The Kapha Season 
Kapha

By Narayani 

 

Spring is gently coming to life - and with it, a call for a subtle change in lifestyle as our bodies and minds adjust to a kinder environment. We see our beautiful Sayulita full of flowers, birds, warmer nights and more nightlife than during the winter. As the seasons change, our bodies require a different diet and lifestyle to stay balanced. Mind-body awareness techniques, such as yoga, help us to naturally want to make such changes.  More >

La primavera viene suavamente - y con �l, una petici�n de un cambio sutil en el estilo de vida en nuestros cuerpos y mentes de adaptarse a un entorno m�s amable. Vemos nuestra Sayulita hermoso lleno de flores, p�jaros, noches m�s c�lidas y m�s vida nocturna que durante el invierno. Como los cambios de estaciones, nuestro cuerpo necesita una dieta diferente y estilo de vida para mantener el equilibrio. Mente las t�cnicas de conciencia corporal, como el yoga, nos ayudan a querer, naturalmente, de hacer los cambios.  Mas > 


Pet of the Week:  Cute Kitty      
Cat
The perfect pet for a busy life is an independent one!  This female kitty is about eight months old, spayed, and enjoys a lot of free time in her own space.  She needs human affection and attention but in small doses.  Her personality would fit perfectly with someone who wants to enjoy the company of a pet but doesn't have a lot of time to spend with it.  She is also a very good hunter and will keep your space free of mice!

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

La mascota perfecta para una vida ocupada es una mascota independiente! Este gatito femenino tiene unos ocho meses, esta esterilizada, y goza de una gran cantidad de tiempo libre en su propio espacio. Ella necesita afecto humano y la atenci�n, pero en peque�as dosis. Su personalidad encajar�a perfectamente con alguien que quiere disfrutar de la compa��a de una mascota, pero no tiene mucho tiempo para estar con ella. Tambi�n es una cazadora muy buena y mantendria su espacio libre de los ratones!

Para mas informacion y/o hacer donaciones, favor de visitar el puesto de Sayulitanimals los viernes en el mercado del pueblo.
