Sayulita is now experiencing the dog days of summer and the rainy season weather. The heat does seem to be less suffocating and intense this Children playing in riversummer, with plenty of rainfall to help cool things down and turn our hillsides various shades of green. The river is flowing more steadily, with no signs of overflowing as of yet, though some local residents are taking precautions in the Tamarindo area of Sayulita. See article below on the community sandbagging project.  Some local children are making the most of the fast-paced water flow and heading to the river to play, splash about and even boogie-board downstream.

Discount Fares to Mexico: Alaska Airlines announced some great fares to Mexico this week; anyone looking to book their next vacation to Sayulita may want to check out the "Low Fare Fiesta" sale for discounts on flights to Puerto Vallarta.

Local Residents Prepare Flood Zones  

By Lindsay Walter

 

Sandbagging Project Local residents, who live and work on Calle Manuel Plascencia, are taking precautions this season and preparing the riverbed and roadway near Sayulitanimals for the expected heavy rains this summer. Last year, the river overflowed suddenly during September's tropical downpours, provoking floods and damage to homes and local businesses. A group of Sayulita residents met on Saturday, July 30th and Monday, August 1st to help fill approximately 430 bags with sand extracted from the riverbed.  More 

 

Los residentes locales, que viven y trabajan en calle Manuel Plascencia, est�n tomando precauciones en esta temporada y la preparando el lecho del r�o y la carretera cerca de Sayulitanimals de las lluvias fuertes que se esperan este verano. El a�o pasado, el r�o se desbord� repentinamente durante los aguaceros tropicales de septiembre, provocando inundaciones y da�os a viviendas y negocios locales. Un grupo de residentes de Sayulita se reuni� el s�bado, 30 de Julio y Lunes, 1 de agosto para ayudar a cubrir alrededor de 430 bolsas con arena extra�da del lecho del r�o. Mas 

Re-construction of Public Bathrooms  

By Lindsay Walter

 

Public Bathrooms  The beachfront public bathrooms located at the end of Calle Pelicanos, along the river, suffered major damage last September, due to the heavy rains and overflow of the river. The bathrooms, which had broken away from the cement, collapsed into the river and were on an approximately 40-degree angle, hanging over into the river and out-of-service for the past eleven months. Reconstruction of the bathrooms commenced four weeks ago; they are almost ready for use again, with a new design and situated slightly back and further away from the river's edge.  More 

 

El edificio de los ba�os publicos frente a la playa situados al final de la calle Pelicanos, a lo largo del r�o, sufri� graves da�os el septiembre pasado, debido a las fuertes lluvias y el desbordamiento del r�o. Los ba�os, que se hab�an separado del cemento, se caieron en el r�o y se encontraban en un �ngulo de aproximadamente 40 grados, colgandose en el r�o y fuera de servicio durante los �ltimos once meses. La reconstrucci�n de los ba�os comenz� hace cuatro semanas, y est�n casi listos para usarlos de nuevo, con un nuevo dise�o y situados un poco hacia atr�s y m�s lejos de la orilla del r�o.  Mas

 What I Did On My Summer Vacation 

By Maria Zache 

 

Treva Dea's Food Odyssey Did you ever wonder what your teacher did on her summer vacation? Costa Verde International School art instructor Treva Dea is spending her Sayulita summer painting and going on a food odyssey of sorts. I "caught wind" of a coconut cream pie that Treva had made recently and besides salivating a little, I was curious how she had overcome the summer humidity to make meringue.  More
  
�Has preguntado una vez lo que hizo su maestra en sus vacaciones de verano? Treva Dea, instructora de arte en Costa Verde Escuela Internacional, est� pasando su verano en Sayulita pintando, y tambi�n est� haciendo una odisea de alimentos. Me enter� de una tarta coco que Treva hab�a hecho recientemente y adem�s de tener ganas de probarla, ten�a curiosidad por c�mo hab�a superado la humedad del verano para hacer el merengue.  Mas
 Clean Sayulita Beach:
More Doggie Poop Bags Needed  

 

Doggie Poop Bags Two years ago Punta Sayulita along with other supportive businesses and residents successfully launched the Sayulita dog poop dispenser project which has resulted in the placement of 4 dog poop dispensers containing biodegradable bags on Sayulita's main beach. The success of the project has been amazing and embraced by Sayulita's dog owner community as evidenced by the considerable amount of less dog poop on the beach. Any resident can help the program by volunteering to purchase a box of bags and bringing the box down with them on their next trip to Sayulita. Poop bag supplies will be accepted at the Punta Sayulita Beach House during business hours. The following website is an online vendor selling the type of bags that the program has been using, please click here.
  

Hace dos a�os, Punta Sayulita, junto con el apoyo de otros negocios y residentes lanz� con �xito el proyecto del dispensador de bolsas para la caca de perros y ha resultado en la colocaci�n de 4 dispensadores de bolsas biodegradables para el excremento de perros en la playa principal de Sayulita. El �xito del proyecto ha sido incre�ble y aceptado por la comunidad de Sayulita y los propietarios de perros y se demuestra por el menos cantidad de excremento de perro en la playa. Cualquier residente puede ayudar al programa voluntario comprando bolsas y traerlas a Sayulita en su pr�ximo viaje. Las bolsas de caca se aceptar�n en la casa de Punta Sayulita en la playa durante el horario comercial. El siguiente sitio web es un vendedor en l�nea de venta del tipo de bolsas que el programa ha estado utilizando, por favor haga clic aqui.


GPS: A Beach On a New England City Street,
Snow in Sayulita? 
By Grupo Pro SayulitaNew England City Street
 
I'm a diverse kind of sculptor. I make huge sculptures with polyurethane foam, with blow-molded plastics, with robotics, and all kinds of mixed media. More than 13 years ago, I was asked to come up with a community art sculpture. In the heart of our town of North Adams in the U.S., there is a narrow street with historic small buildings on both sides; despite "deferred maintenance" on most of the buildings, the street is quite charming for a New England town.  More

Soy una clase diversa de escultor. Hago esculturas inmensas con espuma de poliuretano, con pl�sticos golpe-moldeados, con la rob�tica, y con todas las clases de medios mezclados. Hace m�s de 13 a�os, yo fui pedido proponer una escultura de la arte de la comunidad. En el coraz�n de nuestro pueblo de Adams del norte, hay una calle estrecha con peque�os edificios hist�ricos en ambos lados; a pesar de mantenimiento diferido en la mayor parte de los edificios, la calle encanta bastante para un pueblo de Nueva Inglaterra.  Mas

 Sayulita Sunrise Training 

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Sunrise Training If you're one of the lucky few who have had the opportunity to witness the magic that is a Sayulita summer sunrise, then you'll know where the inspiration for this issues'  two-week fitness challenge came from. Stated as simply as I can, the sunrises this rainy season have been STUNNING! To the point of inspirational and energizing. After more than five years of year-round living in Sayulita and countless early morning dog walks, two days ago I was mesmerized by a sunrise, the likes of which I've never seen before.  More
  
Si usted es uno de los pocos afortunados que han tenido la oportunidad de presenciar la magia que es un amanecer de verano Sayulita, entonces sabr�s que la inspiraci�n para el desaf�o de esta edici�n f�sica de dos semanas vino. Dicho de la manera m�s simple que puedo, los amaneceres en esta temporada de lluvias ha sido impresionante! Hasta el punto de inspiraci�n y energizante. Despu�s de m�s de cinco a�os de todo el a�o viven en Sayulita y un sinf�n de paseos por la ma�ana temprano perro, hace dos d�as que estaba hipnotizado por la salida del sol, de la talla de la que nunca he visto antes.  Mas 
 Pet of the Week: "Sam"  

 

SamSam is an Australian Blue Heeler, about 4 years old, rescued from a shelter in Berkeley California. His owner is leaving for India and can no longer care for him.  Sam needs firm, consistent commands because his breed is one that rounds up and moves cattle.  He is very intelligent and very focused on one owner.  He is not overly playful or mushy; he is a work dog and shows this.  He can entertain himself for long periods of time, does not chew on anything, or pee/poop where he should not.  He has spent many hours traveling in vehicles and is an incredibly patient dog.  He is tolerant of children but would prefer not to be around them.  He has never bitten a child but keeps his distance from them. He is scared of gunfire and fireworks and will run for cover if he hears this.  He has had his vaccinations and is in good health.  Sam is a perfect companion animal other than when he is bored he chews on his back.  Please make Sam your one and only as he does love and is accustomed to having a reliable owner and a routine to follow.

Sam1Sam es un pastor australiano, tiene 4 anos y fue rescatado en Berkeley California. Su dueno se va a la india y ya no puede cuidarlo. San require disciplina firma y constante por el tipo de raza que es. Es muy inteligente y enfocado en un solo dueno. No es demasiado jugueton ni carinoso, es un perro trabajador y lo demuestra. Puede entretenerse durante horas, no muerde cosas que no debe ni hace pipi ni popo donde no debe. Ha pasado mucho tiempo en vehiculos y es un perro paciente. Tolera los ninos pero no los quiere tanto. Nunca ha mordido un nino pero prefiere mantenerse lejos de ellos. Tiene miedo de truenos o ruidos de pistolas y se  esconde si los escucha. Esta en buena salud y ha sido vaccinado. Sam es un buen companero y cuando esta aburrido se muerde la espalda. Favor de considerar Sam como companero ya que le gusta dar amor y esta acostumbrado de tener un dueno responsable con una rutina.

Long Time Residents of Sayulita 

 

All sorts of people make up the community of Sayulita. Some have lived here since they were kids, like Simone Gomez Cibrian, who is now retired and raises chickens and cultivates organic basil. And some, like Mary Greenfield, moved here full time years ago--after her children were grown--and started painting.

 

 

Hay todo tipo de gente que forma la comunidad de Sayulita. Algunos viven aqui desde que eran ninos, como Simone Gomez Cibrian, quien ahora esta jubilada y cria pollos y cultiva albahaca.
