Sayulita, Mexico

Rake, Rake — whose got my Rake.

Well, I have two men on vacation in Sayulita Mexico, vying for a Rake
read. They had to take turns. Here are pix of both sitting on a palapa
at the top of “gringo hill” — there’s no specific evidence of place,
but you can see the Pacific in the background — which is far, far down
the hill.

Frankly — outside of the barking roosters and crowing dogs
— pure paradise. Glad to have had you with us!

The cute young guy is
Steve Lauterbach presently of Salt Lake City, Utah. The cute gray beard
is George Warren of Lino Lakes, MN (my hubby).

Sayulita is a community
about 30-40 miles north of Puerto Vallarta and many many worlds apart.
Unfortunately, it is a boom-town in the making — development is
everywhere and what might have been reasonable real estate just three
years ago is now far beyond the reach of everyone except the
Californians — who are convinced they have a new Carmel in the making.
And — unfortunately — they are probably right. Oh well — there’s
lots of coast in Mexico before Paradise is Lost.

Send along your Rakish travel shots, if we publish yours in the
magazine, we’ll send you a non-thermal, non-extreme Rake T-shirt and a
$25 gift certificate from West Photo (21 University Ave. N.E.,
Minneapolis).

If we publish yours on our website, then we’ll send you nothing, but
you will be considered Rakish and that alone is well worth it.

Keep the submissions coming!
