Our House, Merida

Adobe Houses, Flamingos, and Mayan Ruins

September 3rd 2012
We have now been in our new home of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico for almost 2 weeks. We desperately needed to rest and have tried to pace ourselves after our 2 week drive from Costa Rica. When we move to a new town there is always plenty to keep busy with just finding markets, banks, malls, etc. and just generally learning all of the new streets. Merida is a huge city and has a great abundance of all s ... read more

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Restaurants
Peter, First of all, thank you for writing! I hope you like Merida as much as I do. Usually, we eat dinner at home and only eat lunch out when we're out doing things. Downtown Merida has a plethora of good restaurants; there's also Trip Advisor - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g150811-Merida_Municipality_of_Merida_Yucatan_Peninsula.html A quirky little must-try restaurant that's a bit out of Centro Historico is the Smoking Club #1. I don't know why it's named that, but it serves the BEST cochinita!Two sandwiches and two drinks (non-alcoholic) cost us less than $6. It's on Calle 60, next to the American Consulate. I hope this helps!
