Drive Chavo Drive.! Hemos llegado! Sayulita





After 2,200 miles we have arrived at our destination...Sayulita.  Our journey since the last post took us to several beaches where we camped. One of my favorite places was Chacala where we camped two nights right on the beach. The folks who stay at Chacala turned up their noses when we told them were were going to Sayulita. It is a pretty busy place and not as pristine as Chacala. But, to us it has a charm and funkiness that we love! Our spot from last year was saved for us..numero 8 and we are on the "right side" (where the more liberal folks hang out) It felt like a grand homecoming as we drove up and were greeted by many of our friends from years back.





The trailer park in Sayulita is a pretty unique place. There is a community of folks, mostly Canadian, who have come here for years. This is a surfing beach, so many of the folks here are surfers, young and old.  Each morning a pretty big group gathers in the patio for yoga, there are group meals, and bocci ball every day at four. 

Our neighbors...

My favorite interesting person was the lady who lives in her camper in Chacala. She showed us her dog's trick..She says "Trump or die" and the dog rolls over an puts his legs in the air.

My next favorite interesting person was  our camping neighbor in Chacala. He is a Mexican football (as in American football) coach! He is a big guy and used to be a lawyer before he fell in love with football.  There was an article in The New York Times, that Tom had read, about his team in  Monterrey.

More about our life in Sayulita to come...

What we're reading: Tom is reading The Sun magazine and I am reading a YA book,  Tuck Everlasting (the author Natalie Babbitt died recently) 

Playlist: the ocean, children playing, dogs barking and crickets
