We can't believe that it has been two weeks since we moved in to our Casa in Sayulita...time has flown by so fast...
There have been so many unexpected twists, turns and challenges...that we have learned that
patience and
laughter are the two main ingredients to living life in a small Mexican village...and so far, so good...we embrace each new adventure and are very thankful for this amazing opportunity...
We have called a truce with all of the new bugs/critters that we meet on a daily basis...we made a pact with them...to just co-exist, learn to get along with each other...and no one gets hurt...so far, everyone is keeping their word and life is peaceful... (However, I did just almost have a heart attack about an hour ago, when Mark turned on the ceiling fan in the living room and out came flying, the cutest gecko ever...I am sure he was not expecting to go for a ferris wheel ride at that moment...it scared us both - the gecko ran behind the couch and I am sure he is still there shaking)....
We are settling in to every day life...realizing this is not a vacation...but our life now...
My daily 2-3 mile morning run through the village is something I so look forward to... as does Mark, taking his daily swim/body surfing time in the ocean...we do our market shopping most afternoons (the fresh fruits and veggies are wonderful and so inexpensive), and we go out to dinner occasionally for fish tacos or pizza... I work at least 6 hours a day selling vacations and Mark is keeping up with the daily chores as well as fixing some odds and ends around the casa...
The temps have been between 80-85 every single day...and there is always a very nice breeze to keep us cool...(sorry to all of you in the North...we heard that snow has made it's first appearance).
Here are some of the recent photos that we took on one of our many walks around the village...the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Sayulita are hard to capture in photos...hopefully, you will get an idea of what life is like in the village and why we love living here so much!
More to follow soon...
