Happy New Year to our 7,414 subscribers,

Happy 2012 to all our readers and contributors! Sayulita wraps up the holiday season with King's Day today. King's Day is a traditional, Mexican holiday commemorating the arrival of the the Three Kings in Bethlehem, arriving with their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.  Children receive gifts, as Christmas decorations are taken down to officially end the holiday season and to commence the new year. You may find delicious Roscas de Reyes, a sweet bread in a wreath shape, sold all over Mexico this time of year. Rocas de Reyes if often sold downtown in the plaza, in the local grocery stores or from the back of trucks all over Sayulita. Read article below for more about this special day and tradition.

As Sayulita's high tourist season is in full swing, the town is bustling with visitors and locals alike, the beaches have been busy and the surf has picked up over the last week. With the incredibly warm weather we've been experiencing, the sunny days and pleasant nights have been perfect, compared to a colder year last season. Even the water is refreshing, though not too cold for swimmers, surfers and other water sport enthusiasts.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sun, sand and surf and may 2012 be an excellent year in Sayulita for all.

=========================================
Feliz A�o Nuevo a nuestros 7,414 suscriptores,

Feliz ano 2012 a todos los lectores y contribuyentes. Sayulita termina las festividades con el dia de los reyes magos hoy. El dia de los reyes magos es una tradicion mexicana para recordar los reyes de Belen, que llegaron con regalos de oro, incienso, y mirra. Los ninos reciben regalos, es el dia en que se quitan las decoraciones navidenas y oficialmente acaban los dias festivos y comienza el ano nuevo. Se puede comprar deliciosas rocas de reyes vendidos por todo mexico durante esta epoca del ano. Se vende roscas de reyes aqui en Sayulita, en la plaza en las tiendas y detras de camionetas por todo el pueblo. Lee el articulo abajo para mas sobre esta tradici�n.

La temporada alta en Sayulita esta en plena marcha y el pueblo esta muy vibrante y las olas mas grandes esta semana. El clima es muy agradable, hace mas calor que el ano pasado en estas fechas y el agua es refrescante, no tan fria para los surfos, nadadores y para hacer otros deportes en el mar.

Espero que todos esten disfrutando el sol, la arena y el mar y que 2012 sea un excelente ano para todos en Sayulita.

Day of the Magic Kings in Sayulita 

By Angela Long-Lambert
 

Today is the most exciting day of the year for children in Mexico! It is the "Day of the Magic Kings". This tradition goes back 2,000 years and is considered more popular than the tradition of Christmas and Santa Claus in Mexico and many Latin American countries. The history and tradition has changed over time and the overall feeling and story goes something like this. There were 3 Kings named Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar. They set out on a trek using a star to find the city of Belen, where baby Jesus would be born.  More

Speed Bumps Installed on Av Del Palmar  
By Lindsay Walter

New steel speed bumps were recently installed last week on Avenida Del Palmar just outside of Sayulita's primary school. The installation of the new speed bumps comes after local resident and hotel owner, Peter Achtem of Hotelito Los Suenos, saw a need for traffic to slow down along this main street, especially right outside of the Primary School where children walk, play and cross the road.   More

Se han instalado nuevos topes de acero la semana pasada en la avenida Del Palmar afuera de la primaria publica de Sayulita. Estos reductores de velocidad se han instalado despues de que el residente de Sayulita y hotelero, Peter Achtem de Hotelito Los Suenos, vio la necesidad de frenar el trafico por toda la calle enfrente de la escuela primaria, una calle principal donde los ninos juegan, caminan y cruzan la calle.  Mas

Sayulitanimals: Home Again Program      

By Sayulitanimals

 

With holidays, tourists, fireworks, and traffic, dogs are turning up lost at an alarming rate. They are being brought to Sayulitanimals, posted on Facebook, and pinned up on fliers around town. Even the most loyal pups can get disoriented during these times. So what can you do about it?  More 

 

Con las vacaciones, los turistas, fuegos artificiales, y el tr�fico, los perros se pierden muy rapido. Estan llegando a Sayulitanimals por la gente que lo lleva ahi, se publica que perros estan perdidos en Facebook, y hay volantes clavados por el pueblo. Incluso los perros m�s fieles pueden desorientarse en estos tiempos. �Qu� puede usted hacer al respecto?  Mas

GPS:  How GPS Uses Your Donations      
By Eric Rudd

If you own a house here, instead of paying a few thousand dollars a year in property taxes, your annual property tax bill won't even pay for dinner for two in Mexico!  So while much of life here is heavenly (sun, beach, food and fun), services are not what they need to be.  The town needs some help.  That's where Grupo Pro Sayulita comes in.  More 

 

Si tiene una casa en Sayulita, en vez de pagar miles de d�lares al a�o en impuestos sobre la propiedad, su cuenta anual de impuestos es tan poco dinero, �ni paga por una cena para dos en M�xico!  Mientras que mucha de la vida aqu� est� celestial (el sol, la playa, el alimento y la diversi�n), muchas veces los servicios no son lo que deben ser. El pueblo necesita alguna ayuda, y ah� entra Grupo Pro Sayulita. Mas

Photo of the Week:  Busy Sayulita Beach     
By Donna Day

 

 

When the people vacationing show up for Christmas/New Years holidays (hence the crowded beaches), Sayulita really does transform into another place-- Saint Tropez, maybe? It's kind of fun walking around like a tourist looking at all the people. In case you missed it, here's what our quiet little town beach looked like.

Cuando la gente viene para pasar sus vacaciones aqui durante navidad y ano nuevo, Sayulita se convierte en un lugar diferente, como San Tropez tal vez? Es divirtido andar por el pueblo como turista viendo toda la gente. Aqui hay unas fotos de como se veia la playa por si te lo perdiste.

Contact Sayulitanimals to adopt or donate.  [email protected]

Melmac es una perrita especial! Ella es inteligente, noble, muy cari�osa y muy juguet�na. Tan juguetona que la clasifican como hiperactiva. Melmac no es para  espacios peque�os. Ella necesita un mont�n de ejercicio diario, o su aburrimiento se convierte en destructivo. No es un perro nadador o para el agua, pero ella es muy atl�tica y le encanta brincar. Su temperamento es muy adecuado para los ni�os, las personas, los gatos y otros perros. Melmac esta en perfecto estado de salud, 1 � a�os de edad, una mezcla, y esterilizada.
