Gallery Hopping in Sayulita, Mexico

Sayulita is a funky little beach town up the coast from Puerto Vallarta.

It's the sort of place I'd love to spend a few days.

I can picture myself with a room here, lounging on the beach during the day and wandering up and down the thin, cobbled streets in the late afternoon while the sun light lingers still but isn't quite so hot.

The town is home to artists and surfers and gallery owners. We spent a few hours browsing through shops here, but not nearly long enough to satisfy my curiosity.

Instead, my curiosity has been piqued.

There is a gallery that only sells handicrafts made by the Huichol, a tribe native to the area. It is called Galeria Tanana.

It's full of beaded work, greeting cards featuring native art and all sorts of other little trinkets you want to pick up and look at.

And then there are all the other galleries filled with the work of artists living nearby.

Oh, how I would like to return to Sayulita.
