Merida

---

Merida is a very touristy town. Busy, loud, and apparently very safe.

We got here last night and basically just went out to dinner.

Today was fantastic. We went off to swim in the Centotes - basically water holes in caves. The water was beautiful and warm and the most amazing shades of blue or green, depending on the way the light fell. The only issue we had was with the transport there. Well, the main transport was private vans - no issue there. But we got to some village in the middle of nowhere and took horse drawn carriages along rail lines. All the horses looked fine and healthy except for ours... it was just a skinny old thing... it made those of us in that particular carriage feel pretty aweful.

Also thought I´d add a very touristy picture as requested by Andy...
