I'm excited about adding an extra trip this year. The first week of January, we will escape the Winter cold in Merida, Yucatan. It will be a nice variety of Mayan ruins, colonial history, nature at the bio-reserve and just plain relaxing. Hope you can join us or at least follow our adventures here. Here are some pictures from previous trips to this area. The top one is the main square in Merida. We will be staying about 2 blocks from the square so it will be a comfortable place to spend some time and do some people watching. The one below is the monastery in Izamal. Most of the buildings in town are painted this same yellow which makes it all very photogenic. There is a pyramid from the 900's a few blocks from the monastery. The pace of Izamal is relaxed with men sitting in cafes enjoying the camaraderie. The last one is some of the fine carvings at the ruins of Ek Balam. You do have to climb some steps to get this view but that makes them all the more special.
