Greetings to our 8,547 subscribers
 | | Sunrise over Sayulita |
The Semana Santa holidays are approaching which means our town will soon be bustling with national and international tourists. Semana Santa is one of the busiest times of year in Sayulita when our beaches are packed, camp grounds, hotels and rental homes occupied to the max and lines coming out the local store fronts. Traffic and parking will undoubtedly be an issue over the next week so if you can avoid taking a car into town and walk or bike instead you will save yourself the stress of Semana Santa traffic in Sayulita. I hope everyone enjoys the Semana Santa and Spring Break holidays and has a wonderful Easter celebration with friends and family.
Thank you for reading El Sayulero.

Saludos a nuestros 8,547 lectores
Las vacaciones de Semana Santa se acercan a lo que significa nuestra ciudad pronto ser� llena de turistas nacionales e internacionales. Semana Santa es uno de los momentos m�s intensos del a�o en Sayulita cuando las playas est�n llenas, campings, hoteles y casas de alquiler ocupadas al m�ximo y alineaciones de salir de las puertas delanteras tiendas locales. Tr�fico y aparcamiento undoubtebly ser� un problema durante la pr�xima semana as� que si puedes evitar tomar un coche a la ciudad y caminar o andar en bicicleta en vez usted se ahorrar� el estr�s del tr�fico de Semana Santa en Sayulita. Espero que todos disfruten de la Semana Santa y vacaciones de las vacaciones de primavera y tiene una maravillosa celebraci�n de la Pascua con sus amigos y familiares.
Gracias por leer El Sayulero.

Sayulita Is for Everybody:
Interview with Sergio Gonzalez
|
By Timothy Kelly
 Good morning from Sayulita one more time. Today, I want to share with you the story of a friend I met a few years back when I first visited Sayulita with my "Mexican Brother", Efrin Garcia. This is a story of a young man with very large dreams and very little to start with other than a very big heart. Sergio Enrique Gonzales was born 27 years ago, and has lived almost all of those years here in Sayulita. While he started out with little more than a motorcycle and a dream, Sergio has come to be an example of what makes our enchanted pueblo home to almost anyone. Read entire interviewBuenos d�as desde Sayulita una vez m�s. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes la historia de un amigo que conoc� hace unos a�os cuando visit� por primera vez Sayulita con mi "hermano mexicano", Efrin Garc�a. Esta es la historia de un joven con sue�os muy grandes, y muy poco para empezar que no sea un coraz�n muy grande. Sergio Enrique Gonzales naci� hace 27 a�os y ha vivido casi todos esos a�os aqu� en Sayulita. Mientras que �l comenz� con poco m�s que una motocicleta y un sue�o, Sergio ha llegado a ser un ejemplo de lo que hace nuestra casa encantada pueblo a casi nadie. Leer toda la entrevista

Bite This: The Pad Thai at Don Chow
|
The chef at Don Chow didn't popularize Pad Thai. That honor goes to Luang Phibunsongkhram, the prime minister of Vietnam during the 1930s and 40s as part of a campaign to promote Thai nationalism and save on rice, which was the country's big export item. You see, this column isn't just all food opinion, we want to give you a taste of history, too. More

Usted ve, esta columna no es s�lo toda la opini�n comida, queremos darle una idea de la historia, tambi�n. Mas

Pueblo Magico: A Fish Story
|
I love going to restaurants but I'm getting fussier. I mean, if you buy fresh fish just a few hours out of the ocean, there's not much you have to do to cook a pretty tasty meal. So when I go out, I'm demanding to eat 'comida' that I can't cook easily at home. And I must say, out of the many (well over 100 restaurants in all) eateries all around town, many surpass my standards. I really can't beat Don Pedro's or Sayulita Caf�, for example, but I'm trying. Even many of the small ones are surprisingly sophisticated in their cuisines. More
Me encanta ir a restaurantes, pero yo estoy m�s inquieto. Quiero decir, si usted compra pescado fresco s�lo unas horas fuera del oc�ano, no hay mucho que tiene que hacer para cocinar una comida muy sabrosa. As� que cuando salgo, estoy pidiendo para comer "comida" que no puede cocinar f�cilmente en casa. Y debo decir que, de los muchos (m�s de 100 restaurantes en total) restaurantes de toda la ciudad, muchos superan mis est�ndares. Yo realmente no puedo superar Don Pedro o Sayulita Caf�, por ejemplo, pero lo estoy intentando. Incluso muchos de los peque�os son sorprendentemente sofisticados en sus cocinas.. Mas

Photo of the Week:
Jardin de Colores
|
Photos by Donna Day Photography
A lot has been going on at the Primary School in Sayulita. They've been painting the buildings colorfully, cleaning everything up. But the most impressive project of all has been the gardens. All the students, teachers and parents have been working non-stop for weeks putting in beautiful gardens all over the school. Each class has it's own garden and there is a main garden in back for everyone. They even made a garden honoring the memory of their lost amigos--4 kids who have died over the last year. It's all very beautiful and impressive. More photos Mucho ha pasado en la primaria en Sayulita. Han pintado los edificios con muchos colores, han limpiado mucho, pero lo mas impresionante de lo proyectos es el Jardin. Los alumnos, padres y maestros han trabajando duro durante semanas colocando jardines en todas partes de la primaria. Cada clase tiene su propio jardin. Hicieron tambien un jardin en la memoria de sus amigos fallecidos; cuarto ninos que se murieron durante el ano pasado. Todo es muy hermoso e impresionante: Mas fotos
