Greetings to our 8,368 subscribers,

Happy Holidays! Christmas is just around the corner and the Guadalupe Day Celebrations culminated on Wednesday December 12th with lots of festivities and partying in the plaza Wednesday night following a big procession of Guadalupe floats, fireworks, cannons, bands playing and people dressed in costume for the event. Mass took place Wednesday evening with a big turn out of Catholic residents and the church was adorned with beautiful flowers. See Donna Day's photos of the week for images of the Guadalupe Day celebrations. Guadalupe Day marks the beginning of the Christmas season and from now until the 25th there will be many celebrations and parties to attend. I hope everyone in Sayulita enjoys the holiday cheer in the sun, sand and surf! And may you enjoy the holidays with friends and family wherever you may be this season.
Christmas Break: El Sayulero will be taking the week off of Friday December 21st to give our contributors a Christmas break, and will be back on Friday December 28th with a special New Year's Eve edition saying goodbye to 2012 and welcoming the new year.
Thank you for reading El Sayulero. Lindsay Walter

Saludos a nuestros 8,368 lectores
Feliz Navidad! Navidad esta a la vuelta de la esquina y las celebraciones de Dia de Guadalupe terminaron el miercoles, 12 de diciembre con muchas festividades y fiesta en la plaza el miercoles pasado despues de la perignacion con la Virgen de Guadalupe en el desfile, cohetes, canones y gente disfrazada para el evento. La misa se llevo a cabo en la iglesia donde se presento mucha gente catolica y la iglesia estaba decorada con hermosas flores. Ver mas imagenes de las celebraciones de Dia de Guadalupe en las Fotos de la Semana por Donna Day. Dia de Guadalupe define el inicio de las posadas navidenas de ahora hasta el 25 de diciembre y habra muchas fiestas que asistir en Sayulita. Espero que todos en Sayulita disfruten estos dias festivos en el sol, playa y arena. Y donde quiera que estes esta temporada espero que la pasen bonito con amigos y la familia.

Question of the Week: What is your favorite cultural tradition celebrated in Sayulita?
|
By Nicki Cooper
 "Christmas! Well because it's my birthday and when I was a child we would gather together, the whole family, all of the them, cousins, brothers, uncles...all of them. And we had a Christmas celebration."
"La Navidad. Pues porque es mi cumpleaños y cuando era un nina nos reuníamos toda la familia, toda, primos, hermanos, tios...todos. Y hacemos posada."
-Belem Colin, Yah Yah Cafe, Sayulita

Sayulita Says Goodbye to Part-Time Resident
|
 Last December 3rd, with her luggage ready to come to Sayulita, Maria Paz Apellaniz passed away in San Sebastian, Spain, her other residence. She was a "winter" citizen of Sayulita since 2000, a place she loved with all her heart, where she enjoyed her house, the beach, the town and especially the people. To all who knew her, she leaves a legacy of happiness, joy, courage, ability and fearlessness to be remembered forever. On Saturday December 15th at noon, there will be a mass at the Sayulita church in her memory, with mariachis singing the songs she liked and everyone dressed in bright colors. She hated black. Rest in peace. El pasado 3 de Diciembre, con las maletas ya hechas para venir a Sayulita, Maria Paz Apellaniz falleció en San Sebastian, España, su otra residencia. Residente de invierno en Sayulita desde el año 2000, lugar que amaba y disfrutaba con todo el corazón, su casa, la playa, el pueblo y, especialmente la gente. A todos aquellos que la conocieron, deja un legado de felicidad, alegría, valentía, capacidad y falta de miedo, por lo que la recordarán siempre. El próximo sábado 15 de Diciembre a las 12 del mediodía, se oficiará una misa en su memoria, con mariachi cantando sus canciones favoritas y todo el mundo vestido en colores alegres... ella odiaba el negro. Descanse en paz.

It's been a week of cannon fire, parades, fireworks, food, laughter, and rejoicing in the church, the plaza, and the community. The final day, Wednesday the 12th, gave a full party starting with the church all day and till the wee hours of the morning with late night revelers. The last week has all been in honor of the patron saint of Mexico, the Virgin 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

Serendipitous Sayulita Tales Part III:
A True Adventurous Environmentalist
|
 | | Tracie Willis, 1993 |
"Here's to freedom, cheers to art. Here's to having an excellent adventure and may the stopping never start." -Jason Mraz. This certainly seems to be the philosophy of Tracie Willis, ChocoBanana's former owner. Never one to conform to the "shoulds" in life, Tracie has chosen a life of adventure over mundane predictability. Here is her fascinating story of how destiny brought her to Sayulita, and how she became one of its most enduring icons: More
"Que brindemos al arte y el ánimo; que tengamos una excelente aventura y que jamás empiece detenerla". -Jason Mraz . La cita parece ser la filosofía de Tracie Willis, ex propietaria de ChocoBanana. No es una persona que cumpla con los "deberes" en la vida, en cambio Tracie ha elegido una vida de aventuras sobre la previsibilidad mundana. Esta es su historia fascinante de cómo el destino la llevó a Sayulita, y cómo se convirtió en una de los iconos más perdurables de Sayulita: Mas

Bite This: Steak is King at D'luscious Bistro
|
D'luscious Bistro is the new spot in town right off the square and this is good news for steak lovers. Chef Darrell Taylor hails from the mid-west, so he goes to great effort to get really good steaks for his bistro from Sonora. He only picks meat that comes from lowland grazing cattle-more tender, he notes, and with the first bite you can enjoy how tender the steaks are. More
D'luscious Bistro es el nuevo lugar en el pueblo justo enfrente cerca de la plaza y esto es una buena noticia para los amantes de la carne. Chef Darrell Taylor es oriundo de la región central, así que va a un gran esfuerzo para obtener muy buenos filetes de Sonora para su restaurante. Él sólo recoge la carne que proviene de ganado de pastoreo de tierras bajas - más tierno, señala, y con el primer bocado se puede disfrutar de lo tierna la carne es. Mas

GPS: The Town Looks Great!

Billy Crystal's famous line, "You look great!" is one that came to mind when I stepped foot into Sayulita for the first time this season. I had witnessed most of the construction last winter, although when Barbara and I left, work was still going on.. More
La famosa frase de Billy Crystal, "Te ves muy bien!" Es uno que viene a la mente cuando puse un pie en Sayulita por primera vez esta temporada. Yo había sido testigo de la mayor parte de la construcción el pasado invierno, aunque cuando Barbara y yo nos fuimos, el trabajo todavía estaba en marcha. Mas

Photo of the Week: The Virgen of Guadalupe
|
Photos by Donna Day
Last week (and this) every night had a different virgin from each neighborhood in a procession to the plaza and church to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe. After shooting pretty much every night, these are my favorites, ending with the torch carried by boys running all the way to Sayulita from the town of the original sighting of the virgin. More Photos
La semana pasada y esa semana cada vecindario tuvo su perignacion hasta la plaza y la iglesia para celebrar la virgen de guadalupe. Despues de tomar fotos cada noche, estas fotos son mis favoritas. La ultima es la foto de los chicos que corrieron con la torcha desde el pueblo donde primero se vio la imagen de la virgen hasta Sayulita. Mas Fotos
