We had a delightful tour of the city of Merida. Our guide pointed out many of the beautiful mansions, haciendas and homes in the city. There were some very old churches dating from the 1700's. One church, on the square, houses the largest Christ in the America's.
John and I explored the market area and found the fish market (very smelly) where they were selling lots of fish, octopus, shrimp and hammer-head sharks! The vegetables and fruit looked so good, so fresh!
Merida has a population of 1 million, so the town is very busy, lots of people on the streets. It is not near as pretty as Campeche.
We have another dinner with the caravan group tonight.

HI:
Since you are so close to Cuba, will you be touring it also? It looks fairly close to where you are so I just thought I'd ask.
Your pictures are great. It sure sounds like you are having a great experience. Retirement looks wonderful.
