Greetings to our 8,379 subscribers,

Happy New Year to all our subscribers and contributors. El Sayulero has grown with nearly 1000 more subscribers in just the last year since our first 2012 edition was published. Now going into 2013, we expect our community newsletter to continue expanding with new subscribers and interesting articles and content weekly. If you have missed any editions in the past, you can always read through our Newsletter Archives on SayulitaLife.com.

The New Year started off with a bang in Sayulita, literally as fireworks lit up the skies and firecrackers and sparklers continued to go off through out the night. From what I can remember the town has never been so busy during the New Year holiday with tons of tourists and national vacationers visiting from larger in-land cities this past week, Sayulita was at it's capacity. After Sayulita had a few set backs on Monday such as a power outage all over town which lasted for approximately 15 hours and a shortage of water, the lights came back on just in time for sunset on New Year's Eve and the celebrations kicked off at various local restaurants and bars.

Sayulita had some unusual weather for this time of year on January 1st with cloudy skies and rain all day long, however that didn't stop many surfers enjoying the waves with wet suits on! The rain has cleared now and it appears to be sunny days ahead to start off 2013!

Thank you for reading El Sayulero and happy new year to all!

Saludos a nuestros 8,379 lectores
 
Feliz A�o Nuevo a todos nuestros suscriptores y colaboradores. El Sayulero ha crecido con casi 1000 suscriptores m�s en s�lo un a�o desde nuestra primera edici�n de 2012 fue publicada. Ahora entrando 2013, esperamos que nuestro bolet�n de la semana continue con la expansi�n de nuevos suscriptores y art�culos interesantes y mas contenido cada semana. Si usted se perdio de alguna edicion en el pasado, siempre se puede leer todas las ediciones en nuestros Archivos de El Sayulero en SayulitaLife.com.

El nuevo a�o comenz� con fuegos artificiales iluminando el cielo. Por lo que puedo recordar el pueblo nunca ha estado tan ocupado durante las vacaciones del A�o Nuevo con un mont�n de turistas y vacacionistas nacionales visitando desde las grandes ciudades en Mexico. Sayulita estaba hasta su capacidad. Despu�s de unos retrocesos el lunes, como un corte de luz por todo el pueblo que dur� aproximadamente 15 horas y la falta de agua en el pueblo, las luces volvieron a encenderse justo a tiempo para celebrar A�o Nuevo.

Sayulita ha visto un clima raro para esta �poca del a�o. El 1 de enero los cielos estaban muy nublados y llovio durante todo el d�a, sin embargo eso no impidi� que muchos surfistas disfrutaban de las olas con wetsuits! El cielo ha despejado y ahora parece que van a ser d�as soleados para comenzar 2013!

Sayulita Brings In The New Year  

 By Nicki Cooper 


With storms on the horizon, droves of people headed out to the plaza decked in sequins, high heels, fancy boots, and slick suits to dance, celebrate, and count down to 2013. Bars, restaurants, and the streets were filled with revelers as music blared from every direction with sounds of banda, reggae, hip hop, and rock n roll. As the New Year drew closer, partiers packed in tight to be near friends and family, order their drinks, and grab a kiss as the clock struck midnight. Read more

  

THubo tormentas que amenazan en el horizonte, pero una gran cantidad de personas vinieron a la plaza para celebrar en su lentejuelas, tacones altos, botas guapas y trajes vestidos, para bailar, celebrar, y la cuenta regresiva para 2013. Los bares, los restaurantes, y las calles estaban llenas de gente festejando como la m�sica sonaba en todas las direcciones con sonidos de la banda, el reggae, el hip hop y el rock and roll. A medida que el A�o Nuevo se acerc�, entr� fiesteros a lugares llenos a estar cerca a amigos y familia, pidieron bebidas, y agarrar un beso cuando el reloj les dio la medianoche.  Leer mas

Bite This: Blackberry Chicken at Tierra Viva  

Good things do come in small packages-a ring from Tiffany, a fat check from Grandma and excellent food from a postage-stamp size restaurant, Tierra Viva. It's one block from the beach at Marlin and Manuel Navarete. The restaurant is also open air, so you catch gentle breezes (bring a sweater, just in case) and it also is a very romantic spot. More

Queda a una cuadra de la playa en la esquina de Marlin y Manuel Navarrete.

A Sincere Thank You To Sayulita  

By Nicki Cooper

 

A Sincere Thank You     

Jose Mora Cervantes, the voice of Sayulita radio, and Liliana Perez, the director of La Casa de la Cultura, partnered to bring Santa to all the children of Sayulita who otherwise wouldn't have received a gift or a Christmas celebration. For weeks they asked locals and tourists alike to donate toys for girls and boys aged infant to 13, and their requests were heard. The day was a joyous success, with over 280 children attending and each one receiving a gift from Santa. More

Durante semanas le preguntaron a los lugare�os y turistas por igual a donar juguetes para ni�as y ni�os de infantil a 13, y sus peticiones fueron o�das.

GPS: Many Thanks To Our
Extraordinary Volunteers 

The year is just beginning and for some at GPS, there'll be a change of guard on January 23. In two weeks, I'll put some things into perspective in my farewell column.  But this week, I'd like to thank the people who worked so very hard to make my three years as president of GPS so very productive.  We raised a hell of a lot of money and we were very hands-on as to how the funds were put to use.  We have no staff and no office- we are all volunteers and the funds we raise all go for town's needs. More 

  

El a�o est� por terminar y para algunos en GPS, habr� un cambio de guardia el 23 de enero. La semana que viene, voy a poner algunas cosas en perspectiva en mi columna de despedida. Pero esta semana, me gustar�a dar las gracias a las personas que trabajaron muy duro para hacer que mis tres a�os como presidente de GPS de manera muy productiva. Hemos planteado un infierno de un mont�n de dinero y nos quedamos muy pr�ctica en cuanto a c�mo los fondos fueron puestos en uso. No tenemos personal ni oficina, todos somos voluntarios y los fondos que recaudamos van todos a las necesidades de ciudad. Mas

Pet of the Week:  "Pinky" 


 Pinky

Pinky is a 1 year old, male who was found abandoned at the Pemex in Punta Mita. He is a gentle soul with the sweetest disposition. Pinky walks great on leash and loves play time with other dogs.  He also gets along great with cats! He would make a great family dog or companion for a single person.  Let us know if you are interested in this beautiful red boy!

Pinky es un macho de un ano que se encontro abandonado en el Pemex en Punta Mita. Tiene un alma gentil y una personalidad muy agradable. Pinky camina en correa y le gusta jugar con otros perros. Tambien se lleva bien con gatos. Seria un perro ideal para una familia o seria buen companero de alguien soltero. Avisanos si te interesa adoptar ese chicho pelirojo.
