A new church of Evangelical/Christian faith has opened up at #18 Calle Miramar, giving both visitors and residents another option for religious practices here in Sayulita. The church has been organized by Pastor Paul Cathey and his wife Mauru along with their two daughters, Marissa and Isabella. Serving as missionaries in various parts of Mexico for the past seven years, Pastor Paul originally comes from Costa Mesa, California and has recently re-located to Sayulita from Puerto Vallarta.
Sunday services are held between 11am-12:30pm every Sunday as well as bible study on Tuesdays at 4:30pm for women and Fridays at 5:30pm for men. The bible study classes and the Sunday services are all held in both English and Spanish. On Christmas Eve., December 24th there will be a special service held at 7pm with refreshments being served.
Meet Negro. He was found on the highway near Nuevo Vallarta. A Sayulita resident saw him in the night and had the good heart to pick him up and bring him to Sayulitanimals clinic for a check up. He was extremely dehydrated. He is in foster care now but needs a home with someone that will really care, help and support him on his way to better health. He is 1-2 years old, super sweet; a real labrador through and through Will someone please give him a chance to live a healthy life?
If you thought the waves were BIG in Sayulita last week - you were right. David Almeida of Duende Surf Shop, who has surfed here for many years, said the swells were some of the biggest he's seen in 19 years.
According to Ed Temperley of Magicseaweed.com, a website dedicated to surfing information and news, the larger than normal swells (estimated at 10 to 12 feet) came from a sizable low that traveled south from the Northwest and "produced the biggest Pacific waves of the 2009 season" and perhaps the largest seen in several years.
Information posted on Magic Seaweed's site explains that powerful winds pushed seas as high as 40 feet down the North Pacific Coast. This type of swell is called "Aleutian" - it is formed near the Aleutian Islands off Alaska. This weather system created very large swells here in Sayulita starting December 7 and carrying on until last weekend.
No injuries were reported at the surf shop. However, one surfer's board cracked in two when he wiped out on one of those huge waves. "Sometimes those waves broke right in the middle at a 90 degree angle - it rolls you," Diaque said, adding that if that roll happens close to shore, there's the danger of smashing a board or a human being.
Si pensabas que las olas eran grandes en la última semana de Sayulita - tenías razón. David Almeida, del Duende Surf Shop, que ha navegado aquí por muchos años, dijo que las olas fueron algunos de los más grandes que ha visto en 19 años. 
La información publicada en el sitio de Magic algas explica que los fuertes vientos empujaron mares tan alto como 40 pies de largo de la costa del Pacífico Norte. Este tipo de oleaje se llama "Aleutianas" - que se forma cerca de las Islas Aleutianas de Alaska. Este sistema de clima creado hincha muy grande aquí en Sayulita partida 7 de diciembre y llevar hasta el fin de semana pasado. 
I shop Mom + Pop! 
Faced with constant new choices of where to shop and eat, we have an opportunity to show our support for the small family businesses that help make Sayulita what it is - a unique and magical place unlike any other. Choosing to shop at local businesses might mean spending a few extra pesos here and there, which also means it won't be viable for everyone all the time. But if you can afford it, isn't it worth a little extra to keep Sayulita's families in business? I think so - so I'll choose to shop Mom + Pop.
Ya sea que sepa Sayulita durante décadas o días, es evidente que somos una comunidad en medio de progreso y cambio. Nuevos edificios subiendo; edificios antiguos eviscerado y remodelado; nuevos negocios abriendo las puertas cada semana. Si te gusta o no, cambio es inevitable, y también es parte de lo que hace que un pueblo como Sayulita dinámico y fresco. 
The other day we were on the beach waxing up our boards, getting ready to take advantage of a clean Northwest swell, when we struck up a conversation with Tomer Yogev and Monika Black, a young couple visiting from Chicago. After learning that this was their first time visiting Sayulita, the conversation quickly turned to fitness. What made this talk unique was that they were telling us, not us telling them, about how easy it was to stay active and eat healthy in Sayulita, and, that despite indulging in a few margaritas and coconut shrimp on a regular basis for 6 days in a row, for the first time ever they were returning from a vacation leaner and healthier than before, without even trying.
With or without a morning exercise class, priority #1 after breakfast was to find a nice spot on the beach where the peaceful energy of the ocean combined with the abundance of available activities, giving Tomer and Monika what they felt was a perfect balance of rest and recreation. Tomer rode the first wave of his life after renting a board from Pazzport Surf School, and was hooked. "Talk about a total body workout!" he said. Monika liked to hike the beach to the far north end, usually after waking from a nice little beach snooze. By adding some walking lunges, push-ups, and light sprints to the hike, a leisurely stroll was turned into a perfect workout. Then there was the bodysurfing (aka playing in the waves), snorkeling, Frisbee throwing, kayaking and stand-up-paddleboarding, all taking place between servings of homemade tamales from Carmen The Tamale Beach Lady, ceviche from Constenos, fresh caught Mahi Mahi with garlic and lime from Don Pedro's, and of course the coconut shrimp from Capitan Pablo's.
