Lazy day

I would love to tell you all  the exciting things we have done today, but as you can see we were so worn out after the last two days we just collapsed and spent most of the day reading. There are several activities going on in downtown today. On Sundays the City of Merida shuts down all traffic in the heart of the city so people can walk and bike without traffic, but we didn't make it that far. Last night we walked along the Paseo de Montejo (about 20 minutes away on foot)  which is a large boulevard flanked by beautiful colonial architecture where there are some nice museums and mansions. After seeing the prices of several restaurants, we settled for coffee and something called chocolate fondant. It was much like a chocolate souffle, almost as good as the ones Ann make at home.  For lunch today we went to Cafeteria Pop, which sounds strange, but it is actually a very nice little cafe with wonderful murals on the wall.  We ate there in 2010 when we were here before and the food was excellent and cheaper than Bobby's Taqueria.  Yucatecan food is generally less spicy and greasy than the Tex-Mex we are accustomed to in Texas. However, some of the sauces that they serve on the side are HOT. I am not sure even Bill West could eat much of the habanero sauce that I tried yesterday.
Tomorrow we are off to buy a few more essentials so we don't have to eat out for a few days.   If you are reading this, I am trying not to bore you with mundane details, but if you have questions we would be glad to answer them. I will try to post more photos manana.
