Greetings to our 8,379 subscribers,

  

Happy New Year 2013 I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas whether you were here in Sayulita to enjoy the festivities in the plaza or spending time in another part of the world. Near or far, I'm sure you had a wonderful holiday season with friends, family and loved ones.

Sayulita has been bustling with tourists this past week and gearing up for New Year celebrations. As we say goodbye to 2012 and ring in 2013 next Monday, Sayulita business owners are preparing for a prosperous season. Sayulita boasts a variety of quality restaurants, bars and nightlife activity where you can celebrate the New Year in style. Please see the list of restaurants below serving up some very special New Year's dishes, champagne toasts and free entertainment. 

This edition of El Sayulero also shares an article of our volunteer street sweepers making Sayulita more beautiful and clean and an article about some new traffic and parking laws being enforced in town.

Thank you for reading El Sayulero may you have a wonderful New Year celebration full of happiness and joy to last throughout 2013.

Saludos a nuestros 8,379 lectores

Espero que todos hayan disfrutado Navidad si usted estaba aqu� en Sayulita para disfrutar de las fiestas en la plaza o pasar tiempo en otra parte del mundo, cerca o lejos estoy segura de que ten�a unas maravillosas fiestas con amigos, familiares y seres queridos.

Sayulita se ha llenado de turistas esta semana pasada y se prepara para el A�o Nuevo. Ya despedimos de 2012 y damos la bienvenida a 2013 el pr�ximo lunes, los propietarios de negocios de Sayulita se est�n preparando para un pr�spero a�o nuevo. Sayulita cuenta con una variedad de restaurantes de calidad, bares y vida nocturna de actividad donde se puede celebrar el A�o Nuevo con estilo. Por favor vea la lista de restaurantes de abajo sirviendo platos algo muy especial de A�o Nuevo de champ�n, brindis y espect�culos de fuegos artificiales. Aunque usted ser� capaz de ver los fuegos artificiales de vacaciones en cualquier lugar de la ciudad, el mejor lugar para dirigirse a un verdadero lujo es la playa donde podr�s ver el espect�culo de luces de fuego aparece sobre la bah�a de Sayulita.

Esta edici�n de El Sayulero tambi�n comparte un art�culo de nuestras barredoras de calles que hacen Sayulita m�s hermosa y limpia y un art�culo sobre el nuevo reglamento de tr�fico y las leyes de estacionamiento que est�n aplicando
en el pueblo 
 
Gracias por leer El Sayulero y que todos tengan un maravillos ano nuevo lleno de alegria y amor que dura todo el ano de 2013.

Volunteers Sweep Streets in Sayulita 

 By Nicki Cooper 


We have all seen the familiar green shirts of the Sayulimpia teams sweeping and cleaning our streets and town, but who are they and why are they doing it? They are volunteers! Not everyone, but the difference is clear. If the team is in a Sayulimpia truck, they're staff members. If they're walking around with brooms and bags, they're volunteers, and they're relying on our support. Read more

  

Todos hemos visto las camisas verdes de los conocidos de los equipos Sayulimpia barriendo y limpiando nuestras calles y ciudades, pero �qui�nes son y por qu� lo est�n haciendo? Son voluntarios! No todos, pero la diferencia es clara. Si el equipo est� en un cami�n Sayulimpia, son miembros del personal. Si est�n caminando por ah� con escobas y bolsas, son voluntarios y est�n confiando en nuestro apoyo.  Leer mas  

Sight This: The Works of Janine Kelleher    

Janine's beautiful artistic vision is an amalgamation of poetry, memories, collage, a unique style, daring and talent. Her artwork at JaLu Gallery is compelling. It asks you to take a very long look and let it register in your mind and heart. It may even say, "Take me home." More
 
La visi�n art�stica de Janine es una amalgamaci�n de poes�as, memorias, recuerdos y un estilo �nico atravesando su talento. Su arte en la galeria Jalu es convincente. Su arte te pide que le des una larga vista mientras tu coraz�n y mente graban todo. Tal vez te dice "ll�vame a casa". Mas

Safer Driving in Sayulita 

By Nicki Cooper

 

A day on the beach     

Three years ago a plan was developed by a committee of local community and GPS members to help direct the flow of traffic and organize parking. With municipal government changes, construction, and fluctuating finances the plan was set aside. Recognizing the rising need, Damien Porter, owner of Don Pedro's, and Hector Pina, Sayulita's current delegado, have brought the plan back with action and determination. More

GPS: Things Are Better, So Keep On Supporting!   

GPS

Things are so much better in Sayulita; let's not slide backwards. A few years ago there were some serious problems evolving in Sayulita.  Sayulita evolved into a popular tourist town and like all tourist destinations, we had some opportunity crime.  But our town was small enough and we were organized enough to do something about it.  More 

  

La seguridad est� mucho mejor en Sayulita, �no vamos a retroceder!

Hace unos a�os, hubo algunos problemas graves que pasaron en Sayulita. Sayulita se converti� en un popular destino tur�stico y como todos los destinos as�, hab�a oportunidades de delito, pero nuestro pueblo es tan peque�o que est�bamos lo suficientemente organizados para hacer algo al respecto.  Mas

The Vagina Monologues 

Capitan Cook's

As Eve Ensler, creator of the Vagina Monologues (VM) says, she never imagined she would end up talking about vaginas - in fact, she doesn't think she had much to do with it -- "It possessed me," she says. Prior to the Monologues, Eve Ensler wasn't even a performer, she was a playwright. But since 1998, she has performed the play thousands of times, been awarded an Obie for it, and has had the likes of Marlo Thomas, Kathie Lee Gifford and Calista Flockhart participate.   More 

  

Como Eve Ensler, creadora de Los Mon�logos de la Vagina (VM) dice, nunca se imaginaba que terminara hablando de vaginas - de hecho, ella no cree que ella tuvo mucho que ver con ello - "Se apoder� de m�", dice . Antes de los Mon�logos, Eve Ensler, ni siquiera era artista, era dramaturga. Sin embargo, desde el a�o 1998, ha presentado la obra miles de veces, ha recibido un premio "Obie" por ello, y ha recibido la participaci�n de conocidas actrices Marlo Thomas, Kathie Lee Gifford y Calista Flockhart.   Mas
