Sleeping in a 250 year old casa has its own unique charms. Upon our arrival, the property manager reminded us to keep the big ceiling fan on all night because "it discourages the bats." It seems that there is a an open air section of the casa that connects one part of the casa to the other section and the bats who (like us gringos) winter in Merida sometimes like to swoop down to the fountain located in the open area and catch the bugs. Just as he was telling us this a large gecko scrambled for safety behind a pretty hanging flower pot full of small blooming pink flowers. Obviously neither the bats nor the geckos caught all the bugs, but the house is clean and very charming. Being typical Mexico, we were awakened to the sound of church bells ringing. It looks like it will be a beautiful day in Merida, wish y'all were here.
Bats and geckos! How fun! Your casita looks fabulous - wish we were there! Enjoy.
