Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos has become a HUGE draw here in Sayulita.  The multi day festival at the beginning of November has also included Halloween.  Preparations and planning now a full year effort.  Parades, processions, alters, candles, music and decorations fill the town.  Sometimes it is a party and at other times it is a solemn event.  A feast for the eyes for sure and time not to miss.

This video of Dia de los Muertos by our friend Niki.  It is almost 14 minutes long and beautiful.

Sayulita Scenes - New Mural

This small cool mural just went up at the former location of the "deposito" at the corner of Calle Revolucion and Calle Jose Mariscol.  It is an intersection that already boasts the fantastic mural that already decorates la Esperanza.  We cannot do much in town without walking by this new addition whether it is on the way to surf, sup practice, shop or go to school.  The building comes to a narrow point and is only about 6-8 feet wide at this end which makes a great size for a creative canvas for a new store going in just behind it.  Next time you walk from the south end to the north end on Calle Revolucion you can't miss it.
