Greetings 6,691 El Sayulero Readers,

 

After our cool winter, the warm spring rays this week feel just amazing. Evenings are pleasantly warm with the occasional cool breeze and the ocean feels just right. Sayulita is preparing for the upcoming week of Semana Santa when our town will be filled with visitors from all over, especially national tourists from large cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City, all looking to spend time on the beach. The town is certainly bustling this time of year for local businesses and rentals, so enjoy the peace and tranquility and stock up on supplies while you can, before we welcome the numerous guests.

We have a winner!  Actually, three. The Sayulita Community Forum Essay Contest has come to a close and the winners have been chosen by our three judges: Justin Henderson, Barry Golson and Patrick Hazburgh. We received many essay submissions, all filled with love for Sayulita and motivating stories, but in the end there could only be three prize winners. Please see the article below for the winners' names and stories.  Check out the webpage to read the story and see that the winner actually donates 1/2 of the cash prize to Grupo Sayulita.  What a winner, all the way around!

This week's El Sayulero interview is with our local ice cream vendor, Zeferino Gallardo Ibarra, who has become quite famous over the internet recently with "a day in the life of" movie/video by Kevin Shepit. See video here.

Thank you so much to all of the El Sayulero contributors and readers; this online community grows and grows stronger with each issue.  Thank you also to all who submitted an essay for our contest; I have definitely felt all of the Sayulita love in each and every entry.

Sayulita Essay Winner's Submission
"Where Should We Go Honey?" 

 

Bob and DonnaThe question I had posed to my wife that wasn�t the normal autumnal musing that usually ended with the clarifier, "on vacation." The economy had taken its toll; our once-rewarding careers had fizzled, our pleasant home had become nothing but a burdensome payment, and our rosy futures had developed a grey pallor, much like Seattle's November weather.

 

We had taken decisive action. We had left the jobs. We had put a renter in our house for a year, we had stuffed all of our worldly belongs into not one, but two storage units, and had pulled the kids from their co-op preschool. We had made the huge decision to undertake a new life adventure, but we had left one little piece missing: where to start.

Sayulita's Desert Brother        

 By Duncan Aldric

 
Sayulita's Desert BrotherThere is a place in the high desert well known to many of the inhabitants of Sayulita, that is to say, well known to the Huichol, who inhabited Sayulita in days of old and new, and to a great few of us interlopers as well. To the Huichol (you see them in their colorful dress selling their wares in Sayulita�s plaza everyday) it is a sacred place, a mountain astride the city of Real de Catorce, 3000 meters above sea level overlooking the towns of Estaci�n de Catorce and Wadley and the great desert beyond in the state of San Luis Potos�.

Hay un lugar en el desierto alto y conocido por muchos de los habitantes de Sayulita, es decir, bien conocida por los huicholes, que habitaban en Sayulita en los d�as antiguos y nuevos, y algunos de nosotros gran intrusos tambi�n. Para los huicholes (se ven en sus trajes coloridos vendiendo sus productos en la plaza todos los d�as de Sayulita) es un lugar sagrado, una monta�a a horcajadas en la ciudad de Real de Catorce, 3000 metros sobre el nivel del mar con vistas a las localidades de Estaci�n de Catorce y Wadley y el desierto m�s all�, en el estado de San Luis Potos�.

Sayulitanimals Fundraiser To Take Place
In Portland, Oregon      

 

Sayulitanimals fundraiser in PortlandIn 2009, on a trip to Sayulita, Mexico, Bryce, an Apparel Graphic Designer at Nike and Gemma, an Animal Cruelty Caseworker in the Cruelty Investigations Department at PETA, saw many homeless animals, often in pairs, running on the beach and streets. Local food vendors and beach goers shared scraps of food with them and for the most part were not starving, but the life of an animal living on the street is difficult.  This event will take place on April 23rd from 5-8pm in Portland.  More >

Los vendedores locales les daban alimentos y restos de comida, pero la vida de un animal que vive en la calle es dif�cil. Este evento se llevar� a cabo el 23 de abril de 5 a 8 pm en Portland. Mas >
  Avocado Pie    
Avocado Pie

By Maria Zache 

 

You know those recipes that fly around a community as the latest "hot" trend. This past holiday season, Avocado Pie was just that kind of: "Have you tried... it's so easy... ohmygosh, it's so good..." recipe, quickly making the rounds in Sayulita. On New Year's Eve, I ran into friends on the way to a gathering; they were taking the pie as an offering to the midnight buffet. More >

�Sabes esas recetas que andan por una comunidad como la �ltima postre de moda? La temporada pasada, el pay de agacuate fue precisamente ese tipo, "�has probado ... es tan f�cil ... Di�s m�o, es tan buena ..." de recetar�pidamente haciendo las rondas en Sayulita. En la v�spera del A�o Nuevo, me encontr� con amigos en el camino a una reuni�n, y llevaban el pay como ofrenda al buffet de medianoche.  Mas >

GPS: Some New Signs
On The Punta De Mita Road   
By Grupo Pro SayulitaSigns on Punta De Mita Road
 
Did you know that Grupo Pro Sayulita rents the depot on the Punta de Mita Road?  This is where all the recyclables are gathered, sorted and then sold or distributed to places that will recycle - and not go into a landfill.  And there are dumpsters there to put your trash.  Without GPS' support, all that trash would just be scattered and piled up in the town.

Sin el apoyo de GPS, todo esa basura ser�a dispersada y ser�a amontando en el pueblo. Mas >

Sergio Surfing

For better or worse, in the past decade Sayulita has become one of Mexico's renowned surfing towns. For whatever reasons, though our in-town wave is rarely spectacular, Sayulita has produced national surfing champions and international competitors, and is or has been home to a couple of dozen world class surfers. People come here looking for the surfing vibe, whether it be to watch, to participate, or to learn. More >

 Earning Their Brownies - Val & Doug      

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Val & DougTeaching class every morning, I have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of people -local, visitor and visiting local (those who visit often and/or frequent enough that they feel local).Today I'd like to introduce you to a couple of visiting locals. They are a wonderful addition to town and soon to your belly and waistline. Confused?... Let me explain. Val & Doug came to class like many sweet pale Northerners - with a smile, motivation and a little sunburn. We were soon to learn, they are hardly ordinary. Val & Doug inspire change, openness and discipline.  More >

Hoy me gustar�a presentarles a un par de locales de visita. Ellos son una adici�n maravillosa a la ciudad y pronto a su vientre y la cintura. Confundido? ... Me explico. Val y Doug lleg� a la clase como muchos dulces norte�os p�lida - con una sonrisa, la motivaci�n y una quemadura de sol poco. Est�bamos muy pronto para aprender, es muy dif�cil ordinaria. Val y Doug inspirar el cambio, la apertura y la disciplina.  Mas >
Pet of the Week:  Kittens       
gatos
Four adorable gray and white tabby mix kittens were born to a beautiful but feral mama cat. The kittens are about 5-6 weeks old. One kitten will be adopted and we would like to find homes for the other 3 and potentially the mama cat.  Two of the kittens are mellower and smaller, and two are a little more feisty.  All four have been held and handled and are warming up nicely to human interaction. Easter is just around the corner -  skip the bunnies and chicks this year and adopt a kitten instead! 

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

Nacieron cuatro hermosos gatos blancos y grises pero la mama es asilvestrada. Los gatitos tienen entre 5 y 6 semanas. Uno de los gatitos sera adoptado y queremos encontrar hogares para los otros tres y tal vez para la mama. dos de los gatitos son mas chiquitos y tranquilos y otros dos son mas juguetones. Los cuatro han estado cerca de humanos y se estan acostumbrando al aftecto de humano. Ya viene pasquaro - olvidese de conejitos y pollitos, mejor adopte un gato.

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

Cat Walk in Sayulita   
  Photos by Donna Day

Sayulitanimals Fashion Show Fundraiser

 

The Cat Walk is the term used to describe the runway that models strut down while wearing designer clothes. While Sayulita may not be one of the fashion capitals of the world, nor does it have a "cat walk," it does have it's share of fashionable women. They all showed up in droves for the 1st Annual Sayulita Animal Clinic Wine Tasting and Fashion Show - the best "cat walked" fashion show ever. The models & clothes were gorgeous, but in the end, the baby models stole the show.


La pasarela es lo que las modelos utilizan para caminar y ense�ar sus atuendos. Tal vez Sayulita no sea la capital de moda del mundo, ni tiene una pasarela, pero hay mujeresaqu� que saben de moda y todas llegaron al evento de modas y pruebas de vino para Sayulitanimals - el mejor evento de modas y las modelos de Sayulita.  La ropa y modelos eran hermosas, pero al final eran los modelos beb�s que llamaron m�s la atencion de todos.
