Greetings to our 8,517 subscribers

  

Super Bowl Fever will be taking over Sayulita this weekend and there are a variety of bars and restaurants that will be broadcasting the game this Sunday and hosting some great Super Bowl parties. See the list below and start planning your Super Bowl Sunday outing with friends and family in Sayulita.


As local events and fundraisers approach in the upcoming month, it is time when the Sayulita community really comes together. Whether it's to raise funds for a hospital bill after a severe accident, in the case of local surfer Renee Torres (read article below about an upcoming fundraiser for Renee) or taking part in in the activities, workshops and classes being help in February at the Casa de la Cultura (read article below on the Casa de la Cultura projects in full swing) or if you will be attending the 6th annual Costa Verde International School fundraiser party at the end of the month, everyone in Sayulita can find something to do and participate in for a good cause, meet new people and feel a true sense of community.

Thank you to all our readers and contributors and enjoy the following articles this week!

Hi Sayulita Life,

I'm not sure if you have made some changes or things are just picking up but I wanted to say that our reservation requests from Sayulitalife have really picked up over the past few months.

Best,

Sayulita Is for Everybody:
Interview with Oswaldo Vallejo 

By Timothy Kelly 


One thing that stands out about Oswaldo Vallejo is his passion for Mexico and for Sayulita in particular. My first contact with Oswaldo was through an interview he gave to this newsletter years ago, when I wasn't even sure when I was coming down to retire in our pueblo. There never was any doubt that I would retire in this "quiet little fishing village"; it was only a matter of when. At that time, Oswaldo was working with the Delegado's Office and directing the affairs of the Casa de la Cultura. Things have changed since that article was written a few years ago.  Read entire interview

Una cosa que destaca de Oswaldo Vallejo es su pasi�n por M�xico y por Sayulita en particular. Mi primer contacto con Oswaldo fue a trav�s de una entrevista que concedi� a este bolet�n a�os, cuando yo ni siquiera estaba seguro de que cuando yo bajaba a retirarse en nuestro pueblo. Nunca hubo ninguna duda de que me retirar�a en este "tranquilo pueblo de pescadores", sino que era s�lo una cuesti�n de cu�ndo. En ese momento, Oswaldo estaba trabajando con la Oficina del Delegado y dirigir los asuntos de la Casa de la Cultura. Las cosas han cambiado desde que el art�culo fue escrito hace unos a�os.  Leer toda la entrevista
Call to Sayulita to Save a Local's Life   

By Nicki Cooper

 

    

Some of you may know Renee Torres, a local surfing instructor and resident of Sayulita for the last fifteen years.  For those of you who don't, Renee is a quiet man with a calm and kind demeanor who is often seen riding his bike or riding a wave.  A couple weeks ago Renee was in a motorcycle accident and was rushed from hospital to hospital to get the treatment he needed.  He went through three surgeries within ten days to repair all the internal organ damage.  He has been released, but now owes $12,000 U.S. dollars for all the medical expenses.  More 

 

Algunos de ustedes conocen a Renee Torres, un instructor de surfing local y residente de Sayulita hace quince a�os. Para aquellos que no lo conocen, Renee es un hombre tranquilo, con una actitud calmada y amable que a menudo se ve montado en su bicicleta o montar una ola. Hace dos semanas Renee tuvo un accidente de moto y fue trasladado de urgencia de hospital a hospital para recibir el tratamiento que necesitaba. Pas� por tres operaciones dentro de los diez d�as para reparar todo el da�o a los �rganos internos. �l ha sido puesto en libertad, pero ahora debe $ 12.000 d�lares por todos los gastos m�dicos.  Mas

Making Waves Art Exhibit  

By Nicki Cooper

 

    

On Thursday night, the book store held an art exhibition, Making Waves, for Ed Rinas, one of the owners, and Jim Starkey.  The event was a success both for those who wanted to view the amazing pieces and for those who wanted to know the processes for each type of art work.  All the art was Sayulita inspired pieces from waves to plaza, land to culture.  The exhibit was only for the evening but you can still find their work around town, if something catches your eye  More

 

En la noche del jueves, la tienda de libros celebr� una exposici�n de arte, Making Waves, para Ed Rinas, uno de los due�os, y Starkey Jim. El evento fue todo un �xito, tanto para los que quer�an ver las piezas maravillosas y para aquellos que quer�an conocer los procesos para cada tipo de obra de arte. Todo el arte era Sayulita piezas inspiradas de las olas a plaza, la tierra a la cultura. La exhibici�n fue s�lo por la noche, pero todav�a se puede encontrar su trabajo en la ciudad, si hay algo que te llame la atenci�n.  Mas

Bite This: The Red Snapper with Archiote Sauce
At Villa Amor's "O" Restaurant 

This marvelous looking dish from  Villa Amor's "O" Restaurant, red snapper with a mildly-spiced achiote sauce, would merit a fine review as an architectural study, a sculpture by an avant garde artist or a treat by a very creative chef. It not only was great fun to eat, it was a wonderful dish to deconstruct and a sure conversation starter. I loved it before I tasted it!.  More
 
Este plato maravilloso en el Restaurante "O" de Villa Amor, el huachinango con salsa de achiote con especias, que amerita una buena resena como un estudio de arquitectura, una escultura de un artista de vanguardia o una golosina por un chef muy creativo. No s�lo fue muy divertido para comer, era un plato maravilloso para deconstruir y un arrancador seguro de la conversaci�n. Me encant�, antes de que lo habia probado. Mas

Pueblo Magico: An Architectural Landmark   

 
It's almost a toss up with Don Pedro's (which anchors the beach and is part of every beach shot used in magazines) but I think I'd have to say that the landlmark of Sayulita is Calypso. Give credit to the Rodriquez family and their architect, Ropy. I don't go back as far as many residents, but I still remember when the space that is now Calypso was just a rough hangout for teenagers. It was one of two "not-so-great-second-floor-spaces" facing each other. More 

  

Es casi un cara o cruz con Don Pedro (que ancla la playa y es parte de todas las playas de disparo utilizado en las revistas), pero creo que tendr�a que decir que el landlmark de Sayulita es Calypso. Dar cr�dito a la familia Rodr�guez y su arquitecto y fibroso. Yo no voy hacia atr�s tanto como muchos residentes, pero todav�a recuerdo cuando el espacio que ahora Calypso era s�lo un lugar de reuni�n �spera para los adolescentes. Fue uno de los dos "no-tan-grande-del segundo piso-espacios" frente a frente. Mas 

Sayulitanimals Protecting Sayulita   

We've all heard about canine vaccinations, but is it really that important?  Life here seems ideal, so why should we worry about shots for our dogs?  Let me tell you.  Sayulita has had an increase in tragic deaths for our furry friends due to canine distemper.  The last few months has brought much sadness to many dog owners and pain to many owned and street dogs.  You can prevent this with a basic, inexpensive, and harmless vaccine for your dog. More 

  

Todos hemos o�do hablar de las vacunas caninas, pero, �es realmente tan importante? La vida aqu� parece ideal, as� que �por qu� deber�amos preocuparnos acerca de las vacunas para nuestros perros? D�jame que te diga. Sayulita ha tenido un aumento en las muertes tr�gicas para nuestros amigos peludos debido a moquillo canino. En los �ltimos meses ha tra�do mucha tristeza para muchos propietarios de perros y dolor a muchos perros con propietario y de la calle. Esto se puede evitar con una vacuna b�sica, barata e inocua para su perro. Mas
