Happy Easter 6,712 El Sayulero Subscribers,

 

EasterEnjoy coloring your eggs but please do not try to drive into the downtown area of Sayulita this weekend unless absolutely necessary. Semana Santa is definitely upon us and the streets and beaches are packed like I have never seen before. Everyone seems to be having great fun though and a casual stroll through town makes for some great people watching.


Our volunteer contributors have once again delivered a great issue with interesting local stories including the story of the "Big Rock" garden on the way to Playa los Muertos. We also get a review of the local play presented to a show out audience at Los Afortunatos last week as well as pets to save, radio station update, tide pools, GPS, water temps and more. Make sure to read the interview to learn the past, present, and future plans of the Sayulita Organic Farmers' Market. 

 

Happy Easter to all of our readers wherever you are enjoying El Sayulero from today. We hope you are all enjoying great times with your families.

 

Ian Hodge

General Editor: ElSayulero.com

Semana Santa in Sayulita 

By Lindsay Walter 

 

semana santa

Semana Santa week, a national holiday and celebration in Mexico which precedes Easter weekend began this week with national visitors from big cities arriving to Sayulita to enjoy vacation time by the sea. Sayulita has become a popular destination for travelers from Guadalajara and Mexico city seeking some beach time, surf and even night life right here in Sayulita. Semana Santa, the Holy Week in the Catholic religion is Sayulita's busiest time of year with packed beaches, restaurants, rental units, lots of street traffic and overall downtown bustle in Sayulita.

Sayulita Radio Station Update  

By Leah Jewall

 

Radio Station Update

In October of last year, El Sayulero published an article on a proposed radio station in Sayulita. That dream of Jose Mora Cervantes hasn't yet become a reality, but it's getting closer. Donations have been steadily coming in to Jose's business, Rosticer�a La Pechuga on calle Revoluci�n, and enough money has been collected to buy a transmitter. More > 

 

En octubre del a�o pasado, El Sayulero public� un art�culo sobre una estaci�n de radio planificada para Sayulita. Ese sue�o de Jos� Mora Cervantes no es a�n una realidad, pero es cada vez m�s cerca. Las donaciones han ido entrando al negocio de Jos�, Rosticer�a La Pechuga en la calle Revoluci�n, y el dinero se ha obtenido suficiente para comprar un transmisor.  Mas >

 

It's No Mystery: Deadly Double Bogey
Wins The Day   

 

Deadly Double BogeyDeadly Double Bogey, Sayulita's first Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, which took place at Los Afortunados Restaurant Friday, April 15, was a success on many levels. The event was sold out almost a week prior to the performance, everyone (including the cast) had a few laughs and a good time, and almost $7,000 pesos was raised for Sayulita Primeria.  More >

Sayulita's Tide Pools 

 By Octavia & Daniel 

 
Tide PoolsIf you ever want a science-fiction experience, a walk down to Sayulita's local tide pools might hit the mark. On a recent low tide day, accompanied by a group of ocean explorers, we headed down to the rocky shore area between Villa Amor and Casa Los Arcos. Squatting and bending, we hovered over areas of the rocks and were able to find quite an assortment of invertebrates (animals with no backbones) that transported us to an underwater world where small volcanoes covered the planet and spiky creatures roam.  More >

Si alguna vez quieres una experiencia de ciencia-ficci�n, un paseo por las piscinas de marea local de Sayulita puede dar en el blanco. En un d�a la marea baja reciente, acompa�ado por un grupo de exploradores del oc�ano, nos dirigimos hacia la zona de la costa rocosa entre Villa Amor y la Casa de Los Arcos. En cuclillas y de flexi�n, que se cern�a sobre las zonas de las rocas y se puede encontrar toda una variedad de invertebrados (animales sin columna vertebral) que nos transporta a un mundo submarino, donde peque�os volcanes cubiertos del planeta y rom criaturas de punta. Mas >
The "Big Rock" Community Garden

 By Maria Zache

 

Rock Garden"Turn left at the next road past the Big Rock." These were part of our directions to our vacation casita on our very first trip to Sayulita. For many years, the "Big Rock" on calle Ninos Heroes (the street on your right on the way from the plaza, just before Rollie's restaurant), has been used as a landmark and a point of reference. The rock has, in the past, also been the site for graffiti and trash.  More >

"Gire a la izquierda en la siguiente carretera m�s all� de la gran roca." Estas fueron parte de nuestras direcciones a nuestra casita de vacaciones en nuestro primer viaje a Sayulita. Durante muchos a�os, el "Gran Roca" en la calle Ni�os H�roes (la calle a la derecha en el camino de la plaza, justo antes de restaurante de Rollie), se ha utilizado como un hito y un punto de referencia. La roca tiene, en el pasado, tambi�n ha sido el sitio para el graffiti y basura. Un invierno recientes a su llegada a Sayulita, mi esposo y yo est�bamos sorprendidos y emocionados de ver el jard�n reci�n ajardinada que rodea el "Gran Roca" (o el "Gran Roca Jard�n Comunitario," como ahora les gusta llamarlo).  Mas >

  Sayulitanimals: Money Keeps Our Doors Open
But People Keep Our Programs Functioning. 

 

Dolce

After attending the successful and entertaining fashion fundraiser for Sayulitanimals, Mary Brickner and her husband Seth chose to walk home via the jungle road by Los Muertos. It was a quiet afternoon, until they reached a point where all the birds seemed to squawk in chorus. They stopped to look around and noticed a bag on the side of the road with something writhing inside. When they cautiously opened it, they found a beautiful and terrified puppy.  More > 


Despu�s de asistir a la exitosa y entretenida recaudaci�n de fondos para Sayulitanimals, Mary Brickner y su esposo Seth decidieron caminar hasta su casa a trav�s de la carretera de la selva por la playa Los Muertos. Era una tarde tranquila, hasta que llegaron a un punto donde todas las aves parec�an graznar a coro. Se detuvieron a mirar a su alrededor y se dieron cuenta de una bolsa al lado de la carretera con algo se returci� en su interior. Cuando la abrieron con cautela, encontraron con un hermos y aterrorizado cachorro. Mas > 

GPS: As The Season Ends    
By Grupo Pro SayulitaAs The Season Ends
 
Grupo Pro Sayulita works year-round, but the bulk of the volunteer work is done during the winter season.  Our biggest project was our Fiesta-Fundraiser, which raised record funds (a few pesos shy of 400,000 pesos!) despite it coming on the heels of last September's urgent fundraising efforts to help residents/schools/organizations who suffered from the flood, as well as to restore the beach.  More >

  Surf: CVIS Surfathon       
CVIS Surfathon

By Justin Henderson 


Sayulita's own Costa Verde International School held its fourth annual Surfathon last Friday, April 15th, and with some sweet little mid-sized waves rolling in, warm, sunny weather, and a busy, pre-Santa Semana day at the beach, a rollicking good time was had by all - and over $12000 was raised by more than 50 sponsored surfing kids, parents, and teachers.

 The Water Could Be 50 Degrees       

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Could be 50 DegreesArriving early to the airport in Puerto Vallarta we decided to relax outside for a while and enjoy the warmth of the sun before it was time to get in line for our flight to Chicago.  We knew all too well that the next 7 days were going to produce little sunshine, strong winds and temperatures that make you curse.  What we weren't ready for was the harsh reality of the whole situation.  More >

Lo que no se estaba preparado para la dura realidad de la situaci�n.  Mas >
Pet of the Week:  Purely Survival   
mama

This sweet mama lives on the beach in Punta Negra with her two male pups. Seasonal residents placed food out to help keep her and the pups fed, but Punta Negra becomes a ghost town every summer, and no one will be around to give out the bits of food these dogs need to stay alive.

 

A concerned resident brought the mama and pups to Sayulitanimals, and they were spayed and neutered, and one pup was adopted.  We are now looking for someone who could foster the mom and her pup until the next high season begins.  At this time, they can return to the beach in Punta Negra.  This is purely a plea of survival.  Last year one of the local dogs died of starvation, and we don't want this to happen to sweet Mama and her baby.  Can you save this life?


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

mama1Esta dulce mam� vive en la playa de Punta Negra, con sus dos cachorros machos. Residentes colocan los alimentos fuera de temporada para ayudar a mantener a ella ya los cachorros alimentados, pero Punta Negra se convierte en una ciudad fantasma cada verano, y nadie va a estar para dar a conocer los pedacitos de comida a estos perros necesitan para mantenerse con vida.

Un
residente preocupado trajo la mam� y las cr�as a Sayulitanimals, y fueron esterilizados, y un perrito fue adoptado. Ahora estamos buscando a alguien que podr�a fomentar la madre y su cr�a hasta que la temporada alta comienza la siguiente. En este momento, pueden volver a la playa de Punta Negra. Esto es puramente un motivo de supervivencia. El a�o pasado uno de los perros locales murieron de hambre, y no queremos que esto suceda a dulce mam� y su beb�. �Se puede salvar esta vida?

Easter

 

I'm not really religious, but I've always like the idea that this giant cross was watching over Sayulita. I made a little pilgrimage from my house, up and over the hill to photograph it--and had some nice views on the way. I thought it was appropriate for Palm Friday and Easter. Happy Easter!


No soy muy religiosa, pero siempre me ha gustado la idea de que hay una cruz gigante vigilando todo Sayulita. Hice una peque�a peregrinaci�n de mi casa, y sub� por la colina para fotografiarla - y tom� una fotos de vistas bonitas al camino. Cre� que era apropiado para el Viernes Santo y Pascua. �Felices Pascuas!

Lina Weissman

Interview by Leah Jewall

Lina Weissman

 

Where are you from and how long have you lived in Sayulita?
We're from San Francisco and have been coming to Sayulita for nine years; we bought a house six years ago, and moved here full time three years ago.

 

De d�nde eres y por cu�nto tiempo vives aqu�?
Somos de San Francisco y hace nueve a�os que visitamos Sayulita. Hace seis a�os compramos una casa, y estamos viviendo aqu� a pleno tiempo desde 2008.

What brought you to Sayulita?
We had been travelling to Mexico for 16 years, visiting different places. My husband, Mitch, is a high school teacher, so we would always travel in the summer months. A friend in the States read an article about Sayulita and told us we should check it out, even though she had never been here. So we came to Puerto Vallarta and spent three days in Sayulita.

 

Qu� los trajo a Sayulita?

Hab�amos viajado por muchas partes de M�xico por 16 a�os, visitando diferentes lugares. Mi esposo, Mitch, es maestro de la secundaria, y siempre viaj�bamos en los meses de verano, durante sus vacaciones. Una amiga m�a en los Estados Unidos ley� un art�culo sobre Sayulita, y nos sugiero que viaj�ramos aqu�, aunque ella no lo conoc�a, as� que fuimos a Puerto Vallarta, y pasamos tres d�as en Sayulita.
