This blog post will highlight the 1st of a 2 day trip into Merida as well as a few other events!
It was a lot of fun being able to visit with Bill and Selena during their stay with Val & George!
We explored the Malecon and the Mercado in Progreso with Doug and Janine!
Our valedor, Panchita, and her daughter Mira and fiance prepared a fabulous Yucatecan meal for us!
Due to the vagueries of our car insurance, we had to drop off our car one day and pick it back up again the following day to reset a coverage clock! Oh, well… what a great excuse to spend a night in Merida again!
We dropped the car off with Blueway rentals at the Merida airport and they graciously drove us into Merida Centro to our favouorite hotel, Luz en Yucatan. We checked in, grabbed some lunch and dove into the pool to escape the heat of the day!
Once the afternoon coolness came, we walked down to the Plaza Grande in Merida Centro!
The TEATRO JOSÉ PEÓN CONTRERAS just 2 blocks from the Plaza Grande was all decorated for a special evening that day and, for a ‘tip’, the security guard walked us through the building and even into one of the special booths to see what a marvel the theatre is!
The cathedral was also open, so we had a quite visit and rest inside!
We visited the Governor’s Palace on the square… couldn’t miss that!
As we started our way back to the hotel, the sights of Merida didn’t stop!
Off to an early bed, after a relaxing sit overlooking the pool!
The next blog post will highlight our 2nd day in Merida!
Cheers!
Love to all,
