Greetings to our 8,547 subscribers

  

The bustle of Semana Santa madness has come to an end this week though local schools are still on vacation until Monday. It seems things are back to normal in Sayulita this week after the influx of people in town last weekend. The beaches still seem quite busy with tourists. Many families are in Sayulita this time of year enjoying the beach and our pueblo. Local residents of Sayulita have really come together after the Semana Santa rush of crowds to help clean up the town and our beach of trash and debris left behind by campers and passer-bys. There have been more trash bins placed around town and on the main beach so if you see some litter laying around please pick up any trash and help keep Sayulita clean and beautiful.

Time ChangeTime Change:  It`s Daylight Savings Time again. On Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 2:00 AM clocks are turned forward 1 hour to Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 3:00 AM local daylight time instead. Sunrise and sunset will both be about 1 hour later on April 7, 2013 than the day before. Don`t forget to change your clocks before bed on Sunday night!

 

Thank you for reading El Sayulero.

Saludos a nuestros 8,547 lectores
 
Semana Santa ya ha pasado aunque las escuelas locales siguen de vacaciones hasta el lunes. Parece que todo ha vuelto a la normalidad en Sayulita despues del incremento de gente en el pueblo durante la semana pasada. Las playas aun estan recorridas de turistas y hay muchas familias aqui durante esta epoca del ano disfrutando las playas y nuestro pueblo. Los residentes locales en Sayulita se han reunido para ayudar a limpiar el pueblo despues de Semana Santa y la basura que se dejo por gente acampando. Han colocado mas botes de basura en las playas y en el pueblo, asi que si ves basura recogela y ayuda a mantener Sayulita limpio y bonito.

Cambio de Huso Horario: Es hora de cambiar los reljoes otra vez. El Domingo, 07 de abril 2013 a las 2:00 am hora se cambian los relojes hacia adelante 1 hora para Domingo, 07 de abril 2013 a las 3:00 am hora de verano local. El amanacer y atardecer ser�n aproximadamente 1 hora m�s tarde el 7 de abril 2013 que el d�a anterior. No se olvide cambiar sus relojes antes de acostarse en la noche este domingo! 

  

Gracias por leer El Sayulero.

Semana Santa Says Goodbye for Another Year 

 By Nicki Cooper 

Only a few days back I walked the beach weaving in and out of tents packed so tight down the strip you couldn't see ten feet in front of you.  Now the beach has become once more the Sayulita we love so well.  After a massive effort from all who enjoy walking our soft sands, the trash has been bagged, the people have returned home, and Sayulita has become the sleepy tourist town we're accustomed to.  More

 

S�lo hace unos d�as caminaba por la playa entrando y saliendo de las tiendas llenas con tanta fuerza por la avenida principal no se pod�a ver a tres metros delante de usted. Ahora, la playa se ha convertido una vez m�s el Sayulita amamos tan bien. Despu�s de un gran esfuerzo de todos los que disfrutan de caminar nuestras playas de arena suave, la basura se ha embolsado, la gente ha regresado a casa, y Sayulita se ha convertido en la ciudad tur�stica sue�o que estamos acostumbrados.

Semana Santa Clean Up Efforts

By Timothy Kelly 

Photo by Georgia Glennon
I can't think of anyone in Sayulita who better typifies the "in-your-face" mindset than Tracie Willis. You may know her as the owner of Choco Banana, or you may know her as the woman who single-handedly took on the wedding planners of Sayulita in an effort to get them to switch from polluting pyrotechnics to the much quieter floating wedding lanterns. Two years ago, you would have known Tracie for her dauntless efforts to get a recycling program implemented here in Sayulita. And, you would definitely know her for her tireless efforts in getting large trash bins built and situated around our pueblo.  More
 
No puedo pensar en nadie mejor que en Sayulita tipifica la "in-your-face" mentalidad de Tracie Willis. Es posible que la conocen como el propietario de Choco Banana, o tal vez la conoc�a como la mujer que �l solo asumi� los planificadores de bodas de Sayulita en un esfuerzo por conseguir que cambiar de pirotecnia a los contaminantes mucho m�s tranquilo linternas flotantes de la boda. Hace dos a�os, tambi�n hubierais conocido a Tracie por sus esfuerzos intr�pidos para conseguir un programa de reciclaje implementado aqu� en Sayulita. Y, sin duda la conoc�a por sus esfuerzos incansables para conseguir grandes contenedores de basura construidos y situados alrededor de nuestro pueblo. Mas

Is The Sayulita Beach Safer?

Grupo Pro Sayulita and You    
Spring in Sayulita is one of my favorite times to be living here. We have fewer guests at houses and as a result we have a little less income but we have more time. At the GPS Wednesday meeting we discussed some of the learnings from this past Semana Santa and how to use the same plan for enhanced Sayulimpia service during peak times- think Christmas and Semana Santa. We gave a round of applause for the concerted efforts of the Sayulimpia ground team, Marcos Scott and the astounding efforts of Tracie Willis. If it had not been for their relentless efforts and the donations they collected for the enhanced pickups in town and trash traps on the beach we would have had the stacks of garbage from past years.

Primavera en Sayulita es uno de mis momentos favoritos de vivir aqu�. Tenemos menos clientes en las casas y como resultado tenemos que los ingresos de un poco menos, pero tenemos m�s tiempo. En la Reuni�n de GPS Mi�rcoles hablamos de algunos de los aprendizajes de este pasado Semana Santa y c�mo utilizar el mismo plan para mejorar servicio Sayulimpia durante las horas punta a pensar de Navidad y Semana Santa. Le dimos un aplauso a los esfuerzos concertados del equipo de tierra Sayulimpia, Scott Marcos y los esfuerzos asombrosos de Tracie Willis. Si no hubiera sido por sus incansables esfuerzos y donaciones que los recogidos para las pastillas mejoradas en las trampas de la ciudad y la basura en la playa, habr�amos tenido los montones de basura de los �ltimos a�os.

Bite This: Coconut Shrimp at
Pedrito`s (Hecho Con Amor)  

I enjoyed this dish at lunch the other day at Pedrito`s (Hecho Con Amor). It was different from the other coconut shrimp dishes around town. Most of them are very encrusted with shredded coconut; very crunchy and a bit on the tough side. Some need a sharp knife to cut through the crust. More
 
Me ha encantado este plato en el almuerzo el otro d�a en Pedrito `s (Hecho Con Amor). Era diferente de los otros platos de camarones de coco en el pueblo. La mayor�a de ellos son muy incrustada con coco rallado, muy crujiente y un poco duro. Algunos necesitan un cuchillo afilado para cortar a trav�s de la corteza. Mas

Pueblo Magico: From A Visitor's Eye     

  

When you live here, you get used to things; family and friends who have come before are also used to how the town is.  But someone brand new, visiting our town for the very first time,  has a much different way of seeing Sayulita. Earlier this season, we had relatives come to Sayulita for the first time.  Barbara thought I was being too "motherly" because I wanted to pick them up at the airport, or at least meet them at their beach condo to make sure they knew the ins and outs.  "Have no worries," Barbara insisted, "let them explore and discover things for themselves." More 

  

Cuando se vive aqu�, uno se acostumbra a las cosas, la familia y los amigos que han venido antes que se utilizan tambi�n para c�mo la ciudad. Pero marca a alguien nuevo, visitando nuestra ciudad por primera vez, tiene una forma muy diferente de ver Sayulita. A principios de esta temporada, hab�amos llegado a parientes Sayulita por primera vez. Barbara pens� que yo estaba siendo demasiado "maternal" porque quer�a a recogerlos en el aeropuerto, o al menos reunirse con ellos en su condominio en la playa para asegurarse de que conoc�a los entresijos. "No tienen preocupaciones", insisti� B�rbara, "vamos a explorar y descubrir cosas por s� mismos." Mas

Kids Corner: Clean Up in Sayulita  

 

Since Semana Santa is over, there has been a lot of trash thrown on the ground. Trash is very bad for the world. Animals eat the trash and it makes them really sick. The plastic that is thrown on the ground doesn't disintegrate for a long time. If we all start by picking up at 10 pieces of trash that is out in front of our houses everyday, there won't be any more trash! We can make a huge difference.  More

 

Desde Semana Santa ha terminado, se ha producido una gran cantidad de basura tirada en el suelo. La basura es muy malo para el mundo. Los animales comen la basura y lo hace muy mal. El pl�stico que se produce en el suelo no se desintegra por un largo tiempo. Si todos comenzamos recogiendo menos 10 piezas de basura que est� en frente de nuestras casas todos los d�as, no habr� basura m�s! Podemos hacer una gran diferencia.  Mas

Pet of the Week:  "Scarlett" 


 Scarlet

  

Scarlet was found in Sayulita abandoned, hungry and had parasites. She now looks great after spending a few weeks in her foster home. She is very sweet and a little shy when she first meets people.  She loves to play with other dogs, loves to cuddle and enjoys going to the beach! She desperately wants a safe and loving home or foster home where she can feel secure and build confidence.  She can not stay in her foster home much longer, because they live in a small apartment with 2 other dogs and work full time.  Let us know if you want to meet this cute little girl!

  

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

 

Scarlet se encontro en Sayulita abandonada, hambriente y tenia parasitos. Ahora se ve muy bien despues de haber pasado unas semanas en su casa acogida. Es muy dulce y un poco timida cuando conoce a personas por primera vez. Le encanta jugar con otros perros, le gustan los carinos e ir a caminar en la playa. Urgentemente ocupa un lugar seguro en una casa amorosa donde puede sentir segura y crear confianza. No puede quedarse donde se esta quedando por much tiempo porque los que la cuidan viven en un departamento pequeno con dos otros perros y trabajan todos los dias. Avisanos si quieres conocer a esta hermosura.
