Sayulita Day

 
 


Sayulita Day!
Thursday, Jan 24, 2013 was the day to relax in Sayulita.  It began with a walk to DeCameron Resort where I met with The Green Bay girls. (7 including 5 women and 2 teenagers) 
The above photos are from the lobby of this resort, which is located on the very south edge of Bucerias.

We decided that riding the bus was our best and most adventurous option.  We weren't disappointed.  It was standing room only for the first few stops.  But we all got seats before heading north and leaving Bucerias.  Here we have Sig and Emily sharing some space. 

A little about Sayullita:   Once a sleepy fishing village, Sayulita, Mexico, was established as a community in 1941 when families from the neighboring state emigrated to the area. After completing Highway 200 in the late 1960s, it was discovered as a popular surf destination for its consistent wave breaks and has become quite diverse with its native Cora and Huichol population and the growing attraction of international tourists and local craftsmen.

Since then, Sayulita has continued to gain popularity not only for its great surfing but also for its art galleries, delicious restaurants, trendy shops, nature activities, and a relaxed lifestyle. Currently home to about 4,000 residents (many English-speaking expatriates) who cherish their community and aim to protect the environment, development has been limited so it’s not likely that it will become an impersonal mega resort.


Sig, Amy, Wendy, and Dawn prepare for an afternoon of Beach

After walking from the bus stop through town, which by the way has completed their street projects, we decided on Captain Pablo's Beach Side Dining. Emily and her two teenagers seemed to fit right in and were soon soaking up the rays.
Buckets of Sol, Dos Equis, and Indio were delivered in regular increments. For 100 pesos, or $8 USD, you got to enjoy 6 muy frio cervezas, con limon.  Excellent.  Thank-you ladies for treating. That was very nice of you. 
 
 
 
A fun day was had by all in Sayulita. Here we have the departing gestures eminating from the bus windows. Both: dé la bienvenida and bueno adiós.
