Greetings 6,718 El Sayulero Subscribers,

 

Sayulita is sliding into normalcy and edging toward the sweet serenity of the quieter summer months. The Semana Santa crowds have passed and it's business as usual for Sayulita's residents and business owners.  Visitors and locals are enjoying quieter and less crowded beaches from last week. The surf has been up with plenty of room for all riders and paddlers. The Sayulita community came together and cleaned up the town and beach after the busy Easter weekend rush; everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather and clear skies.

Look for low season pricing and deals for your vacation rental; summer months bring the joy of a slower Sayulitan pace and a more "Sayulita as it used to be" feel.   

This week's El Sayulero issue gives us an update on the recycling program and the organization of the local recycling depot. Also be sure to check out the photos of the week of the freshly painted town plaza. The new color has really brightened up the downtown area of Sayulita.
 
Another big thank you to all our readers and volunteer contributors,

 

Ian Hodge

General Editor: ElSayulero.com


=========================================
Saludos a los 6,718 lectores de El Sayulero,  
 

Sayulita esta recuperando la normalidad mientras regresan los d�as mas tranquilos de verano. Las multitudes de personas que nos visitaron durante Semana Santa ya se han ido y todo sigue normal para los residentes y propietarios de negocios en Sayulita. Los locales y visitantes est�n disfrutando de las playas y calles mas despejados esta semana comparado a la semana pasada. La comunidad de Sayulita se uno para limpiar nuestras calles y playas despu�s del fin de semana de pascua. Todos est�n disfrutando el clima y el cielo despejado.

 

Busca ofertas para las rentas de casas para sus vacaciones ya que viene verano, lo cual significa que el pueblo estar� mas tranquilo con un sentimiento del pueblo como era antes.

 

Esta edici�n de El Sayulero nos da una actualizaci�n de c�mo va el programa de reciclaje y la organizaci�n del dep�sito. Tambi�n aseg�rense ver las fotos de la semana de la plaza despu�s de que la pintaron. El color da vida al centro de Sayulita.

 

Gracias de nuevo a todos nuestros lectores y nuestros contribuyentes voluntarios.

Recycling Update For April  

By Leah Jewall

 

Recycling

Sayulimpia, organized by members of Grupo Pro Sayulita, has hired workers to help keep our streets clean - two men clean the beach, one sweeps the north end of calle Revoluci�n, and another group work at the Recycling Depot. Felipe and his family, along with Eric Steinman, have been working hard to get the depot well-organized. All the signs are up to indicate what items go in each bin. There are also three dumpsters in front of the depot which are for regular garbage and are emptied by GIRSSA, so now you can drop off your recycling and garbage all in one place. More >  

 

Sayulimpia, organizado por los miembros del Grupo Pro Sayulita, ha contratado a los trabajadores para ayudar a mantener nuestras calles limpias - dos hombres limpian la playa, uno barre el extremo norte de la calle Revoluci�n, y otro grupo trabaja en el Dep�sito de Reciclaje. Felipe y su familia, junto con Eric Steinman, han estado trabajando para mantener el almac�n bien organizado. Todas las se�ales son para indicar qu� art�culos van en cada contenedor. Tambi�n hay tres contenedores de basura a fuera del dep�sito que son para la basura regular; son vaciados por GIRSSA, por lo que ahora se puede dejar de reciclaje y basura en un s�lo lugar.

The Case of the Multitude of Bees  

By Leah Jewall

 

Bees

A huge swarm of bees suddenly appeared in the small rose-coloured bougainvillea tree in the northeast corner of the main plaza. Last Tuesday around mid-afternoon, local residents noticed the large oval shaped mass of bees in the small tree situated at the top of the stairs leading from the plaza to the row of businesses situated between the church and Chocobanana Restaurant.  More >  

 

Un gran enjambre de abejas apareci� en el peque�o rosado �rbol de buganvilia ubicado en la esquina noreste de la plaza principal. El martes pasado alrededor de media tarde, los residentes locales se dieron cuenta de las abejas en el �rbol situado en la parte superior de la escalera que conduce de la plaza a la fila de empresas entre la iglesia y el restaurante Chocobanana.  Mas >

Saying Goodbye  

 By Andrea Villarrubia

 
Saying GoodbyeCrazy - it's already that time of year when our calendars fill up with farewell dinners and parties; it seems only yesterday it was holidays and fundraisers. Humans love to wax on about the passage of time, and I suppose I'm as hooked as anyone: measuring months by how much this or that kid has grown, or who's packing up and splitting town for the season. More >

�Qu� locura! - ya es la �poca del a�o en que los calendarios se llenan con las cenas y partidos de despedida; parece ayer que fueron las vacaciones y los eventos para recaudar fondos. A los seres humanos les encanta reflexionar sobre el pasage del tiempo, y s� que estoy tan enganchada como cualquiera: medimos los meses por la cantidad que tal o cual ni�o ha crecido, o quien est� empaqueteando y saliendo del pueblo para el verano.Mas >
Guanabanas and The Custard Apple Family 

 By Maria Zache 

 

CherimoyaI actually first had guan�banas, or soursop, in Jamaica; we made juice with the large, green lumpy fruits to have with fresh fish grilled over an open fire on our new friend's farm. I have been in love with the fruit ever since. Guan�banas are in the same Annona or custard apple family as are saramuyo (sugar apple or sweetsop) and chirimoya (cherimoya, anona or custard apple). All three fruits are green with an armor-like skin; the white, soft flesh is patterend with large, black, oblong, undigestible seeds. More >

La primera vez que comimos guan�banas fue en Jamaica; las preparamos con jugo de la fruta verde, grande y desigual con un pescado fresco a la plancha sobre un fuego abierto en la finca de nuestro nuevo amigo. He estado encantada de la fruta desde entonces. Las guan�banas son de la misma familia Annona como el saramuyo y la chirimoya. Las tres frutas son del color verde con una piel similar a la armadura; la carne blanca y suave contiene oblongas semillas grandes, negras, y no digeribles. Mas >

GPS: Details Count - But Often Aren't
Easy To Change 
By Grupo Pro SayulitaGPS
 
A few of us are working on finding a better collection system for trash and equally important, to keep (and increase the participation) recyclable materials separate. Sayulita is a tiny geographical spot but seems to get an enormous amount of attention in the international press.  And in the middle of our town, is our plaza.  It's the epicenter of most activity.  Take a look at the trashcans.  They are not objects to be proud of.  More >

Algunos de nosotros trabajan en encontrar un mejor sistema de colecci�n para la basura e igualmente importante, para mantener (y aumentar la participaci�n) materiales reciclables separan.

Sayulita es un lugar geogr�fico diminuto pero parece conseguir una cantidad de enourmous de atenci�n en la prensa internacional. Y en medio de nuestro pueblo, es nuestra plaza. Es el centro �pico de la mayor�a de las actividades. Y echa una mirada a los botes de la basura. Ellos no son objetos de estar orgullosos. Mas >

  Surf: Semana Santa        
My front yard, almost

By Justin Henderson 


Being veterans of well, only one Semana Santa in Sayulita, we elected to beat it out of town and fled to Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque, where we looked at great stuff we didn't need and couldn't afford, saw some exciting art shows and ate in some cool restaurants, went to the fabu Guadalajara zoo, and generally did the urbane urban thing. It was fun but the pavement was hot and the wind was hotter, and even emptied out for Easter, Guadalajara felt crowded and busy and well, urban. The Big City.  More >
 Is Your Breathing Stressing You Out?       

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Breathing

There is so much in and about our body that we are not aware of. So much that our body does naturally, without our conscious effort. But are the brainwaves and breaths we unconsciously follow the best things for us? Ends up that the way you breathe, could be stressing you out. And while the ocean waves, cool vibes and amazing body workers in Sayulilta can help you destress and breathe deeper, wouldn't it be great to know how to do it for yourself?!  More > 

 
Hay mucho en y sobre nuestro cuerpo de que no somos conscientes. Tanto que nuestro cuerpo naturalmente, no sin esfuerzo consciente. �Pero son las ondas cerebrales y respiraciones inconscientemente seguimos lo mejor para nosotros? Termina que la forma en que usted respira, podr�a ser destacando le. Y mientras las olas del oc�ano, cool vibes y sorprendente trabajadores de cuerpo en Sayulilta pueden ayudar a destress y respirar profundo, �no ser�a estupendo saber c�mo hacerlo usted mismo?   Mas > 
 
Pet of the Week:  Punta Negra Pup    
Negrito
This little boy is one of the sweetest, goofy pups around. He is one
of the two puppies found with their mother in Punta Negra. He cannot go back to Punta Negra as there are no year round residents, and there would be no one to give him his basic needs to survive. He was fostered first, but dogs are not permitted in the complex where the
new owners live, so he is on his own and without a home. Right now he is a well-behaved, playful puppy, and he will grow to be a medium dog
with a big heart! If you are able to help this wee man, even if it's only to foster, please contact us immediately. Summer is upon us, so it is time to round up all our
furry friends and give them the care they so richly deserve.

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

NegritoEste pequeno es uno de los cachorros mas dulces y juguetones que hay. Es uno de los dos cachorros que encontraron junto con su mama en Punta Negra. No puede regresar a Punta Negra ya que no hay nadie que vive alli todo el ano y nadie le podria dar las necesidades para sobrevivir. Primero lo estaban cuidando pero no se permiten perros donde se estaba quedando entonces ahora esta solo y sin hogar. Ahora es muy educado y jugueton y crecera ser un tamano mediano con un corazon grande. Si puedes ayudar este pequenito, aunque solo por mientras hasta que encuentre hogar, favor de contactarnos de inmediato. Pronto viene la temporada de verano asi que es el momento para encontrar hogares para todos nuestros amigos peludos y brindarles todo lo que merecen.

Para adoptar esta mascota o hacer una donacion, favor de contactar sayulitanimals

Sayulita Plaza Pretty in Pink 
  Photos by Donna Day

Pink Plaza

 

Just in time for Easter, Sayulita Plaza got a new paint job. Pink--bright pink, with pink and green trim and some turquoise benches thrown in for some eye-popping pleasure. I'm happy to pronounce: Sayulita looks pretty in pink!
I love it!


Justo a tiempo para los dias de pascua, pintaron la plaza de Sayulita rosa - rosa mexicano con toques de rosa bajito y verde y bancas turquesas para llamar la atencion. Estoy feliz para declarar que Sayulita se ve bonito en color rosa. Me encanta.
