OK, I finished it. Don't be offended by Johnny Cash flipping you off. The report is family friendly.

Great report, great pics, PDS. Thanks for sharing. For some reason, the text on your Blog on the right margin gets cut off and it makes it hard to read. Maybe it's my browser settings? Looks like y'all had nice working vacation. I love Merida, I hope we get to go soon.

Great report! I had the same right-margin problem.

We stayed two nights at the Delores Alba last year. Thoroughly enjoyed the city, the food and the people. Very friendly locals.

An elderly fellow struck up a conversation on the zocalo. He wasn't trying to sell anything, he was just proud of his city and wanted to speak English.

Next year we plan on spending several days in Merida. We love Yucatecan food and Merida seems to be blessed with the best.

Thanks for the report.

Have you tried changing the template for your Blog? My wife's Blog had the exact same problem with cutting off photos and text and I changed the template for her and it fixed everything. Again, great report!

Nice report we have spent many days in Merida in last year, very hot right now. We have just put our house on market in Playacar and plan to move to Progreso after we sell have found interesting colonial major fixer uper. Merida is a really wonderful city we will enjoy being able to visit more often, but will hate to leave friends in Playa.
