Sayulita Grammy

12 Comments

Dogs, cats, and kids. Not much new around Sayulita. Spotted this and realized I’ve now reached the pinnacle of success. Van camper? Check. Surfboard? Check. Shampoo bottle on the windshield wiper? Check. Live on the Margin on the dashboard? Check yeah. As parents we are willing to overlook mediocre food if … Read More

It’s been a few weeks since I downloaded Ouest’s pictures off her camera. I need to talk to her about this picture. She took this from a treehouse at our campground in Teotihuacan. She was explicitly instructed to avoid this particular hole in the patio. She swore she would. I … Read More

Sayulita Style

Someone is getting far too comfortable with us. When we’re out on the beach in the afternoon Lowe likes to eat fish-on-a-stick. Local sellers walk up and down the beach with fish and shrimp kabobs, and Lowe has taken a particular liking to it. But he also likes to save … Read More

El Dia de Guadalupe is coming up, and for the next week we get the pleasure of being woken at five o’clock each morning by the sounds of bombs going off on the beach. I call them bombs, the Mexicans probably just call them fireworks. Owning or detonating one of … Read More

We’re Starting a Band

Hurricane something-or-other came past us the other day, and with it came three solid days of rain. Non-stop drizzle. Literally, non-stop. Beach sand on dry days is fine—it comes off with a swipe. Beach sand on rainy days is another story, and therefore coming in the house at all during … Read More

Shredding waves daily. Ouest is currently our only surfer, but I think Lowe is going to come around here soon. I have to remind myself sometimes that he is a lot younger than her, despite the fact that he runs around with her all day trying to do whatever she … Read More

This is a kids’ life

Down here, I love how much our kids get to be kids. They’re free to roam, they can walk over to a friend’s house/bungalow/tent/rv and yell out for them. They can hang out on the beach together. They can get soccer games going. Whatever. It all just feels very old … Read More

Sayulita Days

6 Comments

So this is pretty much what we’re up to these days. It didn’t take us long to slip into a routine. The kids wake up and wander out of the bus to play around the campground and have breakfast. After that we are off to the beach with boards, umbrellas, … Read More

Sayulita Tortugas

This is kind of random, but I just loaded pictures off of Lowe’s camera. Here’s what he saw this month. And now, back to Sayulita. This town is one of those places that a lot of our Bum friends seem to visit. Therefore we find ourselves with a pretty busy … Read More

La Vida

We’re back in Sayulita, and staying put for at least a few weeks. Feels good sometimes to know we’re not moving—that we can just spread out and let the days happen. Our days here start with a ton of energy and end with tired muscles and eyes that can’t stay open. It’s … Read More

Day of the Dead

This picture pretty much sums up the difference in energy levels between us. Home. Somehow we got it in our heads that there was a parade at 11:30 starting at the big cemetery in town. We arrived and found that wasn’t the case at all. And in retrospect, the idea … Read More
