Built in 2001, after my aunt and uncle came through Sayulita in 1998 and subsequently built the neighboring house, Villa Casa Barranca. My mom secured the lot next door and designed our house, having made a model using bits of cardboard, glue and paint, which she showed to our new friend, Caliente, a well- respected local Sayulitan who arrived with his family in a dugout canoe in the 1950's. He was recommended as one of the best local alba~niles, or stone masons, and he built both houses. He and his lovely wife Silvia live 3 doors up the street and are our property managers now.
