Living in Sayulita

Jungle Kids

There’s a lot about Sayulita we’re going to miss. And having our boys be able to spend so much time outdoors so close to nature on a regular basis might just top the list.

Sayulita Summer

Hot, humid, and rainy, our first summer in Nayarit brings fun new adventures (and also challenges) as we slide into a new daily rhythm.

Rain Dance

The tail end of dry season in Sayulita. Algae takes over our house, the taps run dry for days, and Riley finally gets a haircut.

First Wave

I’ve been waiting for Noe to be old enough and confident enough in the water to take him out body boarding. That day finally arrived.

Gunfight in Nayarit

We suddenly find ourselves in lockdown one Saturday morning, but not for the typical 2020/21 reasons. Tales from the darker side of living in Mexico in the 21st century.

Molcajete Madness

As Mexican as apple pie is American, but you’d be hard pressed to find a molcajete on the menu of a Mexican restaurant in the States. That, plus leaves. Lots and lots of leaves.

Jungle Real Estate

Our latest jungle discoveries, the return of our golf cart after a long three week absence, and why you won’t see us buying land in Sayulita any time soon.

Time Travelers

A strange anomaly sends us back in time while hiking through a vortex in search of a mysterious jungle temple and a mystical clay healing beach (no joke).

Golf Cart Problems

We’re told you can’t have a golf cart in Sayulita without your fair share of problems. Deceptively simple machines, but no match for salt air, tropical heat, and harsh terrain.

Adios, 2020

Finishing 2020 the way we started it, at the beach! Just on a different continent. Highlights from the waning days of a helluva year.

Laying Low in Mexico

Surprise! Nope, we’re not wanted by U.S. Marshalls, and we didn’t make a run for the border, though that would’ve certainly made things more interesting. Read on to find out more.

Christmas in Sayulita

It’s that time of the year! While the country has changed [again], we continue our tradition of keeping it simple, unplanned, and time together.

Holiday High Season

Taking advantage of a relaxed week of fun in the sun and cooler temps, in the run-up to the dreaded holiday onslaught of tourists, both foreign and domestic.

We Got Wheels!

We get ourselves a totally sweet, eco-friendly, off-road…ahem…golf cart! And other updates from Sayulita in the month of November.
