Greetings 6,943 El Sayulero Subscribers, 

 

After some time away and enjoyable vacations I took recently, it is nice to be back in Sayulita. Though the days are hot, humid and sticky, we have had comfortable sleeping conditions with nighttime rainfall and cool breezes. The beach is peaceful, and the water is warm and inviting. It's not surprising at all to hear Sayulita residents say its their "favorite time of year," with more time available to spend with friends and family or to simply swing in a hammock while enjoying a cool drink.

 


Green SayulitaThe end of July brings many benefits to Sayulita along with the rainfall. The surrounding hillsides are lush with green foliage, plants, flowers and trees; if you are in Sayulita this time of year, make the most of fresh fruits grown locally, such as mangoes, lychees, pineapples and limes.

Many of our writers and contributors are also enjoying some vacation time and share their stories in the following articles below.  Thank you again to our contributors near and far.

Word of the Week:  El Sayulero has brought "Word of the Week" back. Whether you are in Sayulita or out-of-town for the summer, you can still practice and expand your Spanish vocabulary every edition of El Sayulero. Look for this week's word, the Spanish translation and a usage example at the bottom of the newsletter. Speak it, live it, love it!

=========================================
Saludos a los 6,943 lectores de El Sayulero,  
 

Despu�s de unas vacaciones que acabo de tomar, es bueno estar de regreso en Sayulita. Aunque los d�as est�n calorosos, h�medos y pegajosos, las noches han sido c�modas para dormir con la lluvia fresca y poquito viento que pasa por el pueblo. La playa es tranquila, el agua esta caliente y atrayente. No es una sorpresa escuchar de residentes en el pueblo que ahorita es su �poca favorita del a�o en Sayulita con mas tiempo para pasar con la familia y amigos o simplemente para acostarse en una hamaca con una bebida refrescante.

 

Finales de julio llega con muchos beneficios aparte de las lluvias. Las colinas alrededor del pueblo est�n verdes y exuberantes con plantas, flores y arbustos. Si est�s en Sayulita ahorita aprovecha de las frutas que se cultivan aqu� localmente como los mangos, lichis, pi�as, y limones.

 

Muchos de nuestros contribuyentes tambi�n est�n de vacaciones y comparten sus experiencias en los siguientes art�culos. Gracias a todos nuestros escritores que est�n cerca o lejos de Sayulita.

 

Palabra de la Semana: El Sayulero ha tra�do de regreso la "Palabra de la Semana". Est�s o no est�s en Sayulita, ahora los que quieren aprender espa�ol pueden practicar y ampliar su vocabulario con cada edici�n de El Sayulero. Busca la palabra de esta semana con su traducci�n en espa�ol abajo del bolet�n.

CFE Improves Electrical Posts in Sayulita  

By Lindsay Walter

 

Electrical posts The Commision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) also known as Mexico's electrical company, has installed brand new concrete electrical posts, new electrical cables and transformers along Calle Ni�os Heroes and Calle Revoluci�n. Local neighborhoods in these areas experienced intermittent power outages that lasted over a period of two days. The CFE has improved the power cables and posts to better provide electricity to homes and businesses in Sayulita during the tropical storm season. More

Coral Reefs 

By Octavia & Daniel

 

Coral Reef When I was first accepted to the DUOY Coral Reef Ecology Course, sponsored by the Gulf of Mexico Foundation and NOAA, that was to be held at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico, my friends chuckled asking me, "Didn't the Deepwater Horizon spill kill everything?" "What's there to see out there?" To my delight, and to many people's surprise, about eight hours off the coast of Galveston, Texas, sits an amazing coral reef ecosystem, in the middle of one of the most highly productive oil extraction regions in the world.  More 

 

Cuando fue aceptado en el curso de Ecolog�a de Arrecifes de DUOY, patrocinado por el Golfo de M�xico y la Fundaci�n de la NOAA, programado para el santuario marino, Jard�n de las Flores en el Golfo de M�xico, mis amigos se rieron y me preguntaron, "�El derrame de Horizonte en aguas profundas no mat� a todo? " "�Qu� hay para ver ah� fuera?" Para mi deleite, y para la sorpresa de muchos, alrededor de 8 horas frente a la costa de Galveston, Texas, se encuentra un ecosistema de arrecifes de coral incre�ble, en medio de una de las regiones de extracci�n de petr�leo con m�s alta productividad del mundo.

Lime Pie One of the best things about settling in as a part-time resident in Sayulita and joining the Sayulero staff has been the friendships that I've made. Sayulita attracts those creative, smart, fun, warm, and welcoming and one of the very best among them is Sayulita-born Ysica Doreli Ramos G�mez. Beautiful and charming Ysica attended law school, but now is the proud owner of Sayulita favorite, El Espresso Cafe, near the town plaza.  More
  
Una de las mejores cosas acerca de ser residente a tiempo parcial en Sayulita y unirme al equipo de El Sayulero ha sido las amistades que he conocido.

GPS: Baseball Anyone? 
By Grupo Pro SayulitaBaseball
 
Both my U.S. hometown and Sayulita have numerous sports teams for kids of all ages. In North Adams, we even have a summer collegiate baseball team. All sports are big in most small towns, and Sayulita is no exception. Fields are definitely in better shape in North Adams than in Sayulita.  More

Mi pueblo de origen en los EEUU y Sayulita tienen numerosos equipos de deporte para ni�os de todas las edades. En North Adams, hay un equipo colegiado del b�isbol de verano. Todos los deportes son importantes en la mayor�a de los pueblos peque�os, y Sayulita no es excepci�n.  Mas

 Awareness - Knowledge - Choice 

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Situps Last week as I was enjoying my beach walk down to the north end, I saw a girl exercising. While I try to meditate or let go on these walks, as I approached her, I realized this walk was to be more about releasing knowledge than releasing energy. She was a sweet-faced Mexican teenager with what I call a 'tortilla & beans' figure - meaning thicker throughout and on the chubby side. She had her feet buried in the sand and was doing tons of situps.  More
  
La semana pasada estaba disfrutando de mi caminata por la playa hasta el extremo norte, y vi a una muchacha hacer su ejercicio. Mientras trato de meditar o dejar fluir problemas a estos paseos, al acercar a ella, me di cuenta de que este paseo iba a ser m�s de ofrecer conocimiento que liberarme de energ�a. Era una adolescente mexicana de cara dulce, con una figura de lo que llamo �tortilla y frijoles", es decir, un cuerpo m�s grueso y un poco gordito. Ten�a los pies enterrados en la arena y estaba haciendo muchas abdominales.  Mas 
Of Chile and Chispa  

By Leah Jewall

 

Chile and Chispa

My first impressions of Chile, other than the way Chileans eat their Spanish and chop off the word endings - it�s so tame and orderly! People do what they�re supposed to and the cars even stop at crosswalks to allow pedestrians to pass! Quite a shock, coming from the craziness of driving in Mexico.  More 

 

Mis primeras impresiones de Chile, a pesar de la forma en que la gente "come" las palabras y corta las terminaciones-�es un pa�s d�cil y ordenado! La gente hace lo que se debe hacer, �y incluso los coches se detienen en los cruces para permitir el paso de los peatones! Toda una sorpresa, viniendo de la locura de conducir en M�xico.Mas 

 

  Surf: The Mexican Pipeline 
Puerto Escondido

By Kirsten Leigh Wardman


Summer has arrived and wanderlust has set in. While Justin, the writer for this column, is in the Pacific Northwest, my family and I are traveling southward in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca for the month of July. Our objectives were to explore inland Mexico while writing stories and taking photos for my husband's online business, www.cuponismo.com. Within the first 24 hours of travel, we felt an overwhelming urge to head directly to the coast, so, we bee-lined to Puerto Escondido.  More

Ha llegado el verano, y tambi�n la pasi�n por viajar. Mientras que Justin, el escritor de esta columna, se encuentra en el noroeste del Pac�fico, mi familia y yo estamos viajando hacia el sur en los estados de Chiapas y Oaxaca durante el mes de julio. Los objetivos fueron explorar el interior de M�xico mientras escrib�a cuentos y tomaba fotos para el negocio en l�nea de mi marido, www.cuponismo.com. En las primeras 24 horas de viaje, nos sentimos un impulso abrumador de ir directamente a la costa, as� que manejamos a Puerto Escondido.  Mas
