Blogs from Merida, Yucatán, Mexico, North America - page 26

This is what I saved for y’all (and me) during the time that Travelblog was down. Next post I’ll catch up. Wednesday, August 1: Went to the newly opened grocery store on the Montejo, Superama! It's more like a big Krogers. They don't sell TVs and motor scooters. Still couldn't find any American type sausage but did find real flour (I hope it is. The kind I bought other day wasn't really. So today I bought two different kinds! Surely one is flour without cornmeal or mesa or whatever in it too.) and I got vinegar for the cucumber salad I’m going to make and I think I now have every kind of liquor anyone would want. They had a big liquor section with all kinds of specials. Okay, sit down because you'll probably laugh and ... read more

Going to be sending some of new places and some (new pictures) but just like most of y'all have seen before. Have new readers that may not have had a chance to see this place before the site blew up and went down. These are from Gringo's in Chelem in late July. Just northwest of Merida. Enjoy.

Travelblog has had a serious malfunction and has lost all the previous blogs. I am so sorry. It breaks my heart because I didn't store my blogs on any other media. I do have more news of my life for y'all but am too sadden now to put them on here. Will, probably, later. Maybe on a more reliable source (but who can tell what is reliable?). In the meanwhile, if anyone has actually saved an article would you please email it to me at pattusa@gmail.com? I may, or may not, want to recreate this site. Thanks, all. Have a good night.

Gringo's Bar in Chelem Photos compliments of Kaye. The wonderful pictures to the right (if they stay there) of this blog are compliments of Kaye and her digital. This is from Gringo's Bar in Chelem (just before and to the west of Progreso). I refuse to drive at night any distance from Merida unless am spending the night so I may never get a chance to photograph this as she has. Thank you so much, Kaye, for your permission to post for my friends. Sassy, if you will, let Kaye know this blog address because I don't have her email address. And thank you, bless your heart! from one... read more

Again, not to worry with the date. All good here in the Yucatan. Updates in General: And I'm going to put in some translations that are really more for me than y'all. DHL in the states has now called me and maybe will have some sort of resolution by Monday, July 16th. Eating out: Cheddars has some great french fries (papases fritas) with salt (sal) and everything! Sweet tea (dulce te) in Texas has NOTHING on the Yucatan. I have to special order unsweetened (sin azucarar) or go into sugar shock! Then it's all instant tea unless you make it yourself at your house (casa). I saw my first iguana here! Crossing the street (calle) about a block and a half over from the apartment (departamentos). Not common for me to see here. Many in Cozumel ... read more
