We finally made our trip to see Progresso, the city on the gulf. We traveled by bus about 45 minutes at a cost of $1.25 one way and saw some of the city and surrounding area we had not seen before. Once at Progresso, we walked about three blocks to the water. The beach is much like Texas and the Galveston Bay, but the sand is finer and felt wonderful on our toes. We were somewhat disappointed that the water wasn't more like the Caribbean coast near Playa del Carmen or Tulum. We strolled along the boardwalk and enjoyed the sea breeze. Wayne actually walked in the water, but it was a little cool for swimming! We had dinner at an outdoor cafe with our feet in the sand, enjoying the feel of salt air and the sound of sea gulls and pelicans, while sipping margaritas and cerveza. The full moon rising over the water completed a relaxing, restful day before the bus ride back to Merida.Retired educators who love our kids, our grandkids, our friends, and travel. We set up our blog so that we could keep in touch with family and friends while traveling.
