On Sundays in Merida the zocala is closed off to traffic for several blocks and hundreds of food vendors, artisans, musicians, clowns and thousands of locals and a few dozen gringos fill the space. We didn't buy anything but it was fun to look and the smells from all the different types of food were wonderful. Our friends who appreciate jewelry would have loved it, but we aren't really shoppers.
We were able to help three young Swiss guys find their hostel tonight. Made us feel good that we actually knew something about how to get around in the city. They had been traveling in circles for some time and were very grateful to find someone who spoke English who could direct them. I know the feeling, I can assure you!
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, we miss you all! Feliz Navidad.
