San Miguel in the Plaza
This young woman was playing her accordian and it sounded so melancholy...almost like a french movie

Merida Plaza
The trees in the plaza are quite amazing

Montejo House
The younger Montejo is the man who conquered the area wayayayaya back

Over the doorway to the cathedral
A bit hard to see the details but the carving is magnificant

CUTE
What can I say

Yucatan Dancers
In the Plaza one evening we wached these kids and they put on a great show and had fun doing it

Ruined!
A little hot after climbing the stairs at Uxmal

Kabah
A much smaller site. Only about 30000 people lived here. These two sites are older than ChickenItza ...early classic era before human sacrifice wasa used.

Pigeon Court
At Uxmal. The restoration on this facade was only completed a year ago. Taken from the top of the templo

Calderwod Watercolour
This guy with the help of 6 painters did series of watercolours of the sites in the Yucatan in the 1850's .The lithoographs I saw were amazing.

WOW
Flowers are for sale on many street corners in Merida.I think the rose -Calla is an amazing combination.

Patio at Nomadas
The gathering place for food , beverages ,music and great visiting and comparing notes.

Dancing in Campeche
The other morning I was passing by the plaza and saw woman in costumes. I ended up watching these young teachers in training for about 90 minutes preparing for a big performance next week .

Our Lady of Guadalope
A tile set into the wall in the patio area here at the hostel I am currently staying at .

The sea
Actually it is Campeche Bay on the gulf of Mexico.The fort is intact and now holds 9n salons of archeological artifacts from the Campeche region

Sunset
It was truly beautiful. I have a series of about 6 photos I took this evening.
