Greetings to our 8,172 subscribers,  

It's really beginning to feel like the start of high season in Sayulita this coming week with various parties and events going on in town and at local restaurants. The overall vibe of the town is positive as locals and business owners anticipate the upcoming high season. Many businesses have reopened this past month and a few new businesses have opened as well. One of Sayulita's favorite dining options is back to serving up their delicious menu items. Calypso restaurant reopened on October 11th after closing for a month and half during Sayulita's low, rainy season. Patrons can once again enjoy the view overlooking the town plaza from Calypso's large open-air dining under a large palapa!
 
El Sayulero Weekly Editions: As high season is just around the corner El Sayulero is back to delivering weekly editions of the happenings and events in Sayulita. Look for your El Sayulero again next Friday, November 1st.

Mercado del Pueblo: Scumptious Sustainability Returns to Sayulita Nov. 1st

The Mercado del Pueblo was born over a few passionate lunch discussions, between a few inspired people, undoubtedly inspirited by some strong organic coffee. They spoke of organic produce, sustainable living, health, and local economy. They wanted the farm-to-fork process in Sayulita to be directly from the farmers hand to yours, and they've done it! The Mercado del Pueblo is back this November 1st!  Read more

Kids Corner: Making Jelly Fish From 
Recycled Plastic Bottles

By Astrid Vanya

I have been very busy for the past couple of weeks! One of the main things I have been doing is collecting plastic bottles from the recycling center. I have been cutting them with my mom for last week's art camp at Punta Sayulita. We cut the plastic bottles in half to be used for the body of the jellyfish. Then at the art camp we attached the tentacles to the body, and then decorated the jellyfish with glitter! The art camp took place on Saturday, October 19th where kids of all ages made their very own jellyfish from recycled bottles. This was a fun project to do! The best part about this art camp is that it was free for all the kids in Sayulita. There will be more upcoming art camps for kids at Punta Sayulita!

 

He estado muy ocupada desde hace un par de semanas! Una de las principales cosas que he estado haciendo es recolectar botellas de pl�stico desde el centro de reciclaje. He estado cortandolas con mi mam� para el campo del arte la semana pasada en Punta Sayulita. Cortamos las botellas de pl�stico en el medio que se utilizar� para el cuerpo de la medusa. A continuaci�n, en el campo del arte atamos los tent�culos del cuerpo, y luego decoramos la medusa con brillo! El campamento de arte tuvo lugar el S�bado, 19 de octubre, donde los ni�os de todas las edades hicieron su propio medusas a partir de botellas recicladas. Este fue un proyecto divertido que hacer! La mejor parte de este campamento de arte es que era gratis para todos los ni�os en Sayulita. Habr� m�s campos art�sticos pronto para ni�os en Punta Sayulita!
