Greetings to our 8,753 subscribers, This past week in Sayulita visitors and residents were probably woken up in the early morning by the loud sounds of cannons. These cannons sound every year leading up to Guadalupe Day on December 12th. The booms can be heard all over town as the catholic church sets off the firecrackers starting at 5am so town folk can wake up and head to mass at 6am.  In celebration of the Guadalupe Day festivities leading up to the 12th the "perignaciones", small parades representing Lady Guadalupe on floats followed by local residents in costume and prayer have been passing through the downtown area of Sayulita from the 4th of December. Each local neighborhood has been marching through town with bands playing and even dancing in the streets. If you are in the plaza during the evenings this week, you may also get caught in a rain of fireworks as the "Toro de Cohetes", a man with a bull shaped head gear setting off fireworks runs through the plaza. Most children and even adults scream with excitement and delight but if it's your first time seeing this festive tradition, you may get quite a shock as the fireworks sound off. For more information on the local parades through town this week and the Guadalupe Day celebrations read the below article in this week's El Sayulero. Thank you for reading El Sayulero.

=========================================
Saludos a nuestros 8,753 lectores
Durante esta semana en Sayulita visitantes y residentes de seguro se han despertado temprano en las mañanas con los sonidos de cañones. Estos cañones suenan cada año en los dias acercando a dia de Guadalupe, el 12 de diciembre. Los ruidos se escuchan por todo el pueblo, cuando la iglesia católica pone en marcha los cohetes que comienzan a las 5 am para despertar a la gente del pueblo para acudir a misa.
Tambien para la celebración de las festividades del Día de Guadalupe las "perignaciones", desfiles pequeños que representan nuestra Señora de Guadalupe han estado pasando por el centro de Sayulita desde el 4 de diciembre. Cada vecindario local ha estado marchando en el desfile con bandas que tocan y bailando en las calles. Si te encuentras en la plaza durante las noches esta semana, es posible que también ves la lluvia de fuegos artificiales cuando el "Toro de Cohetes", enciende fuegos artificiales y corre por toda la plaza. La mayoría de los niños e incluso adultos gritan de emoción y alegría, pero si es la primera vez que ves esta tradición festiva, puede ser que te asustas del sonido de los cohetes. Para obtener más información sobre los desfiles locales a través de la ciudad esta semana y las celebraciones del Día de Guadalupe leer el siguiente artículo en El Sayulero esta semana.
Gracias por leer El Sayulero.

Question of the Week: What do you like to
buy on the beach?
|
By Nicki Cooper
 "The thing I loved the most was Anna's sarongs. It was her energy on the beach. The way she danced and laughed, and her hat with the feathers in it. I also like buying the little dolls off the children!"
"La cosa que yo más amaba era los pareos de Anna. Era su energía en la playa. La forma en que bailaba y se reía, y su sombrero con plumas en el mismo. También me gusta comprar los muñequitos de los niños!"
-Graziella Jones, Jungle Hair Design, Sayulita

Cannons Sound in Preparation for
Guadalupe Day, December 12th
|
By Nicki Cooper
I distinctly remember my first December living in Sayulita, curled up in bed, deep in sleep, when BOOM! I sat upright, pulled the blankets around me, and pondered what war was escalating outside my window. The next day, thinking I had a unique morning, I found that everyone was celebrating the sound that sent me into panic. It is the cannon fire for the honoring of the patron saint of Mexico, our Lady of Guadalupe. Read more
Recuerdo claramente mi primer diciembre en Sayulita, acurrucada en mi cama, sumida en el sueño, cuando ¡BOOM! Me senté en posición vertical, puse mi cubija a me alrededor, y me preguntaba qué guerra se intensificaba afuera de mi ventana. Al día siguiente, pensando que había tenido una mañana única, me di cuenta que el día anterior, todo el mundo celebraba el sonido que me enviaste al pánico. Era el fuego de cañón para honrar la Santa Patrona de México, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Leer mas

A Day on the Beach in Sayulita
|
By Nicki Cooper
Sayulita has so much to offer, but it is truly the beach itself that has captured local residents and keeps the tourist coming. It's true there are great waves for long boarding, gentle swimming, warm water, and blazing sun. You will get a stunning tan or lobster skin and have a day of fun and rest, but what else are you getting. Well really nearly anything you may need or want. After spending one afternoon on the beach everyone will see that there is little you have to bring other than your wallet. More
Sayulita tiene mucho que ofrecer, pero realmente es la playa que ha capturado a los residentes locales y mantiene el turista que viene. Es cierto que hay buenas olas para long boards, nadando suave, agua tibia y el sol abrasador. Usted conseguirá un bronceado espectacular o la piel langosta y tener un día de diversión y descanso, pero ¿qué otra cosa vas a encontrar? Bueno, en realidad casi cualquier cosa que necesite o desee. Después de pasar una tarde en la playa todo el mundo verá que es poco lo que tienen que llevar aparte de su billetera. Mas

GPS: Life is Art

Although I've tried to squeeze in sufficient time serving as president of Grupo Pro Sayulita, I have a busy "other life." Often I feel guilty because, like the majority (but importantly not all) of the foreign community, I live in Sayulita only during the winter months. More
Aunque haya tratado de apretar en la porción suficiente de tiempo como presidente de Grupo Pro Sayulita, yo tengo un ocupado "otra vida". A menudo me siento culpable porque, como la mayoría (pero importante no todo) de la comunidad extranjera, yo vivo en Sayulita sólo durante los meses de invierno. Mas

Photo of the Week: Sayulita Palm Trees
|
Photos by Donna Day
I love palm trees. Just looking at them relaxes me. Probably because I'm usually floating in a pool or lying on the beach when I'm looking at them. Anyhow, I always photograph them and here are a few of my favs. More Photos
Me encantan las palmeras. Solo verlas me relajan. Probablemente porque cuando las veo estoy flotando en una alberca o acostandome en la playa. De todos modos, siempre les tomo fotos y aqui son unas de mis favoritas. Mas Fotos
