Family Fun Time

Yesterday Jamie. Karla, Aysh and Cohen arrived in Sayulita. They are accompanied by Karla's mom, Eileen and her brother,Jeff, with his partner, Isabel and their children, Loic and Zak. They arrived in two stages and settled into their rented house a few blocks from where we are located. It was nice to see everybody arrive.


This weekend Sayulita is hosting the 4th annual Sayulita Classic, long board and paddle board competition, so this is a particularly busy weekend in town. We walked around town this morning and stopped for a leisurely lunch at a beach side restaurant. There was a fairly strong onshore breeze blowing and also a fair amount of cloud cover. Even though the temperature was near the mid 20s it felt cool as we were eating lunch.


The wind had whipped up the ocean and the conditions were not ideal for the competition but everyone had the same challenge and it was fun to watch.  It is siesta time now and everyone is resting.


Here are a few picture from the last few days....  Nothing too exciting to report. Just relaxing in the sun.

House Labs at Villas Sayulita

 These two friendly dogs live at the Villas Sayulita Hotel. They spend most of their time in the "Secret Garden" health and wellness area of the hotel, still under development.

Tiramisu at Mangia Fuoco... can't beat it!

 This dessert tastes as good as it looks. I'm not big on sweets but this one is really tasty. The main courses at Mangia Fuoco are wonderful too. It is one of our favourite eating establishments.

One can only stand so much pressure.

This is what happens to an old, fully inflated tire if you put a black vinyl cover on it and leave the van parked facing north in an unshaded area. We heard it blow but didn't realize where the loud bang came from until much later.  No damage other than to the tire. Manny, the frozen fruit bar beach vendor, found us a replacement tire in Vallarta.  Apparently 15" tires are hard to come by these days.

Cohen, Loic and Aysha...  helados por todo

Roxanne and her daughter at a Huichol blessing

 This beach blessing ceremony took place on the beach during the surf competition by the local Aztec community.

Kids & dogs on the beach... too cute!

The crowds should thin out by tomorrow and the beach should look more like this. The kids will have fun on the beach.
