Our Host Family
We are living in a rooftop palapa rented to us by a couple with kids the same age as Alex and Trace. The mom, Summer, is from Hawaii and the husband, Ragilio, is a local with deep family roots in town. It's been interesting to watch this family come and go and actually "live" in town. Summer is a grant writer for the University of Hawaii and Ragilio owns a surfboard repair shop in town. One business is tourism dependent and the other internet dependent. Their oldest boy goes to a local private school while their youngest is taken care of half days by a young local girl. Basically, no matter where you are, life happens. You work, care for the kids, shop, pay bills, play when you can etc. People often forget this when they visit a town that is tourism and recreation based. No different than our home in Park City.

Nice to hear about your host family.
ReplyDeleteTrace - you are getting so grown up.
Alex - nice job with the "surfing".
Give each other a big hug from Bee-Bah and Grandpa Art. We miss you.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI am also a mom of two and also would like to live in Sayulita for a month. I was just searching for information and I found your blog. It's wonderful!
I'm wondering if you'd be willing to tell me how you found your host family and how affordable it was. I would really appreciate it!
Thanks! Liza
