Greetings 6,691 El Sayulero Readers,

 

Its that time of year again when "Are you staying in Sayulita for Semana Santa?" is a common question heard up and down the cobblestone streets of Sayulita. We have one more week of a tranquil village before tourists arrive from inland Mexican towns and cities as part the country's cultural tradition of heading to the beach for Easter vacation. Get ready for the masses everyone.

Our Sayulita Essay contest ends tomorrow so if you still want a chance at the $500 cash first place price followed by three nights at Villa Amor and a dinner for four at Miro Vino, please make sure to get your entry in today or tomorrow.

Sayulita Homeowners: There is a very special announcement from GPS in this issue asking for your participation with a Sayulita public safety project. I trust all local home/business owners will read this article and follow up with the appropriate actions. Thank you.

Surfers:  If you have the chance, check out the video of on of our local young Sayulita surfer showing off some pretty radical surfing abilities. Way to go Adan!

Sayulita Magazine coming soon:  Full-color glossy Sayulita-based magazine to hit the streets in early May.  Advertising space is now available to local home and business owners. Our discounted ad rate sheets are posted online in English and Spanish.

I trust you will enjoy the rest of the articles below.

Thanks for reading,  

 

Ian Hodge

April Bridge Update       

 By Leah Jewall 

 
April Bridge UpdateThe bridge crew has been working on the road where calles Pel�cano and Revoluci�n converge at the south end of the traffic bridge. A drainage ditch is being built across Revoluci�n between the clothing store on the east side and the art caf� on the raised corner on the southwest side of the street to facilitate proper water drainage, as water always pools on the street at the outside of the pharmacy and fruit stand.  More >

La tripulaci�n del puente ha estado trabajando en la carretera, en el extremo sur del puente de tr�fico, donde convergen las calles Pel�cano y Revoluci�n. Una zanja de drenaje se est� construyendo en Revoluci�n entre la tienda de ropa en el lado este y el caf� de arte en la esquina del lado suroeste de la calle, para facilitar el drenaje adecuado del agua, que siempre hace charcos en la calle Revoluci�n afuera de la farmacia y el puesto de frutas.  Mas >

GPS: Making Sayulita Safer - Now!  
By Grupo Pro SayulitaMaking Sayulita Safer
 
Finally, we are ready for action!  We are beginning a program that some of us hope will bring immediate results in reducing tourist and home crime in Sayulita!  I'll admit that I'm an optimist.  What can't be done in a bigger town or city can be done in a small little beach town like Sayulita.  Why?  Because we know each other and can join hands to get things done.  Part of the solution is to simply have more police patrolling all the streets in Sayulita. More >

�Por fin estamos listos para la acci�n!  �Empezamos un programa que esperamos que traiga resultos inmediatos de reducir el crimen para turistas y residentes en Sayulita! Admitir� que soy optimista. Lo que no se puede hacer en un pueblo ni en una ciudad m�s grande puede ser hecho en un peque�o pueblo de playa como Sayulita. Mas >

  Surf: To Paddle Or Not To Paddle     
Paddle

By Justin Henderson 


That is the question facing surfers these days. By paddle I refer not to prone paddling a surfboard with arm power but to paddling after waves on a stand up paddleboard, hereafter referred to (for brevity's sake) as a SUP. In case you hadn't noticed, there are now SUPpers riding waves at just about every break imaginable and then some-on a SUP it appears that you can catch waves no surfer would bother with, and still have fun riding.  More >

 Avoid Ehrlichia in Sayulita     

 

TicksTicks are unsightly and disgusting, but seem to be a tolerated nuisance on the dogs of Sayulita. Unfortunately ticks transmit a life threatening disease which is becoming widespread through our town. Ehrlichia is a disease that is carried by the common brown dog tick and is given to our dogs and cats when bitten. Even worse, the same tick can transmit the disease to multiple animals for up to five months!  More >
 
Las garrapatas son feos y desagradables, pero parecen ser una molestia tolerado en los perros de Sayulita. Desafortunadamente las garrapatas transmiten una enfermedad potencialmente mortal que se est� extendiendo a trav�s de nuestra ciudad. Ehrlichia es una enfermedad que se realiza por la garrapata marr�n del perro com�n y se da a nuestros perros y gatos, al ser mordida. Peor a�n, la misma garrapata puede transmitir la enfermedad a varios animales de hasta cinco meses!  Mas >
  Super Simple Spring Break Supper      

 By Maria Zache 


Super Simple Spring Break SupperThough I have certainly learned a lot about coffee during the visits I have made to a coffee plantation to the north of Sayulita (in La Yerba, Nayarit), I have also learned from my friend's family about just how good food can be when fresh and simply prepared, in the traditional manner.  More >

 Earn Your Siestas in Sayulita     

By Josh and Shelly

 

Earn your siestasAs the days in Sayulita get hotter, and the evenings longer, morning training makes more and more sense. Not only do you get to earn your margaritas for the day, but you also earn your siesta at the same time!   More >
 
Los d�as en Sayulita se ponen m�s acalorados, y las noches m�s largas, entrenar en las ma�anas tiene mas sentido cada dia que pasa. No s�lo te ganas tu Margarita por el d�a, sino que tambi�n te ganas tu siesta al mismo tiempo!  Mas >
Pet of the Week:  "Felix and Ci-Ci"      
Felix and Ci Ci
Felix and Ci-Ci are approximately 8 month old sibling cats.  As brother & sister, they are constant companions.  If not eating or playing together, they tend to be found curled up asleep or washing each other.  In addition to enjoying each other, they are also both highly affectionate creatures who enjoy being petted & close to humans.
 
Sayulitanimals has spayed/neutered them and they are litter trained, though they ask to go outside. Additionally they have received worm treatment and wear flea collars (which are good until the end of May). Please give them the opportunity to bring fun & happiness to your home.

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

I Can See Clearly Now...

I can see clearly now

 

There are some things you just can't get done in Sayulita. Getting your eyes checked and camera repaired are a couple. One simply must venture down to the big city--PV. This week, my favorite guys in Puerto Vallarta are Alberto, the optician at Costco and Ernesto Botello , the best camera repairman (and only one as far as I can tell) in all of Puerto Vallarta. Both are excellent at what they do, extremely nice and very good sports about being photographed. Thanks, guys. I see everything much clearer now.


Hay algunas cosas que simplemente no pueden llevarse a cabo en Sayulita. C�mo revisar los ojos y reparar la camera. Uno simplemente tiene que aventurarse a la gran ciudad - PV. Esta semana, mis chicos favoritos en Puerto Vallarta son Alberto, el �ptico en Costco y Ernesto Botello, el mejor t�cnico de c�maras (y el unico segun yo) en todo Puerto Vallarta. Ambos son excelentes en lo que hacen, muy agradables y muy animados por haber sido fotogrfado. Gracias, chicos. Lo veo todo mucho m�s claro ahora.
