Secret Sayulita View (Fri, Jan 18, 3:55PM)
Tourists, locals, snowbirds, part-time and full-time residents here in Sayulita this time of year are enjoying the bustle of the town, sunny warm days, cool nights and ocean breezes in our beautiful beach town. The Friday Farmer's Market was alive with vendors and customers today. If you are in Sayulita be sure to check out this great community market every Friday during the high season.

El Sayulero this weeks brings you a new column "Sayulita Is For Everyone" where our new El Sayulero contributor, Timothy Kelley will be interviewing the wonderfully different people that make up our multi-cultural community and sharing their unique stories of how they discovered our once sleepy fishing village or why they now call Sayulita "home". We hope you enjoy Timothy's first interview in the newsletter below.

Also, in this edition of El Sayulero, Sayulita Life announces new employee Nicki Cooper who has recently been hired as SayulitaLife.com's Social Media Manager. You may have already be familiar with Nicki and her articles that she has contributed to El Sayulero over the last two years. Nicki has been living full-time in Sayulita for five years and has established herself in the community with her work at Costa Verde International School and Sayulitanimals. Welcome Nicki to Sayulita Life.

Thank you to all our readers and contributors of El Sayulero!

Sayulita Is for Everybody:
Interview with Mike Scannel 

By Timothy Kelly

 

 
He hails from Tacoma, Washington, stands tall like Mount Rainier, and has a heart to match. Mike Scannell (aka-Big Mike and Washington Mike) first came to Mexico in a submarine in 1957 while on active duty in the Navy. His port of call was Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, and that was to be his "port of call" for the next 20+ years. Mike returned in the 1960's for a civilian visit, and again in 1973 & 1974 for return visits. He was "hooked", and soon became a Mexican "junkie". In the early 1980s Mike purchased a residence in Mazatlan, and there might have been the end to this story had not his daughter-in-law lost her purse on one visit to Mexico.  Read entire interview

�l viene de Tacoma, Washington, se erige como el Monte Rainier, y tiene un coraz�n de igualar. Mike Scannell (aka-Big Mike y Mike Washington) por primera vez a M�xico en un submarino en 1957 mientras estaba en servicio activo en la Armada. Su puerto de escala era Mazatl�n, Sinaloa, M�xico, y que iba a ser su "puerto de escala" para los pr�ximos 20 a�os o m�s. Mike regres� en la d�cada de 1960 para una visita de civil, y de nuevo en 1973 y 1974 para su regreso. �l fue "enganchado", y pronto se convirti� en un mexicano "junkie". A principios de 1980 Mike compr� una residencia en Mazatl�n, y que podr�a haber sido el final de esta historia no hab�a a su hija-en-ley pierde su bolso en una visita a M�xico.  Leer toda la entrevista
Talented Artists Decorate Sayulita   

 By Nicki Cooper 


If you've realized Sayulita seems even more exquisite lately, it's likely due to the fresh paint drying on walls, surf boards, and canvases across the town. What once were solid colored walls now flash with brilliant colors and haunting art work full of soul, imagination, and visible love of the brush. The walls in front of Quiverito surf shop, up from Don Pedros take you on a journey from free spirited woman, to ancient culture, followed by magic in the waters, and ending with a liquid sunset. Thanks to Joaquin, Mikaela, Guy, and Tim for contributing their skills and passion to the town. Read more

  

Si te has dado cuenta Sayulita parece a�n m�s exquisito �ltimamente, es probable que se deba a la pintura fresca sec�ndose en las paredes, tablas de surf, y lienzos de todo el pueblo. Lo que una vez fueron s�lidas paredes de colores ahora parpadear� con colores brillantes y obras de arte inolvidable llena de alma, la imaginaci�n y el amor visible de la brocha. Las paredes de delante de la tienda de surf Quiverito, frente a Don Pedros le llevar� en un viaje desde la mujer de esp�ritu libre, de la cultura antigua, seguida por arte de magia en las aguas, y que termina con una puesta de sol l�quido. Gracias a Joaqu�n, Mikaela, Guy, y Tim para contribuir con sus conocimientos y pasi�n por la ciudad. Leer mas

Spay and Neuter Clinic Knows No Boundaries   

By Nicki Cooper

 

 

 

Sayulitanimals has been offering free spay and neuter clinics and weekly operations every year. In 2009 there were 360 surgeries, in 2010 361, in 2011 410, and in 2012 466. The impact in Sayulita has been so profound; they are now able to branch out to other surrounding towns. Their current clinic, which ends today, found Sayulita to need very little work and therefore only spent the first day in town completing 24 operations. Then they were able to go to El Guimuchil for two days completing 50 surgeries, and they will finish in Higuera Blanca this evening. More

Bite This: The Triple Pork Chop
at Los Afortunados 

Here is a hearty dish-I just polished it off and I can attest to the fact that I am full of good food, good company and good vibes. The triple pork chop at Los Afortunados will be on the menu for a while. Under the canopy of onions in a red wine sauce reduction are three thin, grilled and very savory pork chops. At the top of the plate is a goodly sum of delicious black beans. The third component is a crisp, refreshing salad.  More
 
Aqu� hay una abundante plato-Yo s�lo lo puli� y puedo atestiguar el hecho de que estoy lleno de buena comida, buena compa��a y buena onda. La chuleta de cerdo triples ser� en el men� por un tiempo. Bajo el dosel de las cebollas en una salsa de reducci�n de vino tinto son tres chuletas delgadas, a la parrilla y muy sabroso. En la parte superior de la placa es una buena suma de deliciosos frijoles negros. El tercer componente es una ensalada crujiente y refrescante. Mas

GPS: My Curtain Call 

There will be a new board next week (Wednesday) and this is my last GPS article for ElSayulero.com.  I've served three years as president and it's been a busy time.  Last year, in fact, was a sensationally successful year of fundraising and doing scores of programs that helped the town.  So I'm happy to leave on a high note.

Pet of the Week:  "Parker" 


 Parker

Parker is a soft, loving and extremely affectionate boy.  He was abandoned on the beach, but was very persistent about finding someone to take care of him.  He is happy that his foster parents are feeding him and keeping him safe, but would love a real home. He loves people and dogs  and would make the perfect loyal companion.  If interested in adopting Parker let us know!

 

To adopt an animal or donate to Sayulitanimals contact: [email protected] 

 

Parker es un perro muy cari�oso y amable. Fue abandonado en la playa, pero persistia para encontrar a alguien que lo cuidara. Esta muy feliz con su familia que por el momento lo cuida y le da de comer, pero ocupa estar en una casa para siempre. Le gusta  la gente y jugar con otros perros y seria un amigo fiel. Si te interesa adoptar Parker avisanos.

Photo of the Week: 
Beautiful Trash Corner 

Photos by Donna Day Photography

 

 

I was walking early in the morning, rounding the corner and I couldn't believe my eyes....I thought I was dreaming. Someone had turned our trash corner--which , even though it's got one of those standing trash baskets, was always a messy garbage heap, no matter how many times you picked up around it--into a beautiful, garden-surrounded, bamboo fenced, fancy garbage enclosure. On closer inspection, I found that Jose Salim, who lives at and manages Villas Sayulita, had taken it upon himself to beautify our corner. Thank you, Jose!! We promise to help keep it beautiful. Okay, Sayuleros, see what you can do in your neighborhood.

Caminaba temprano en la manana cuando vi algo que me sorprendio... crei que estaba sonando. Alguien habia convertido nuestra esquina - la que siempre tenia basura, aunque tiene un basurero, en una esquina con jardin y una cerca hecha de bamboo. Luego me di cuenta que Jose Salim, quien vive y maneja el hotel Villas Sayulita, habia decidido embellecer nuestra esquina. Gracias Jose. Prometimos mantenerla bonita. Andale Sayuleros, ve lo que pueden hacer para embellecer su vecindario.
