Doors of Merida

Ok, so this is not an original idea!  

But there is a reason that other bloggers and photographers wander around Centro, camera in hand, taking pictures of the doors of Merida (and, I have to admit, hoping that no one comes out while you are standing there taking a close up picture of their puerta).  

These doors are excellent...the colors and textures and shapes and sizes are a feast for the eyes and for the camera.  

They are as bright and colorful as the Noche Mexicana dancers, and are just one more of the things that make this city special.  So with kudos to those who have posted before http://isladeb.com/2011/03/31/728/

Merida Bound....

Finally, we are Merida bound for the week of Thanksgiving and having a lovely eight day stay this time around.

We are going to be renting a friend's house down near Santiago and we are very excited about that. We really wanted to stay in Santiago this time around especially since we stayed a little further north of the main square last two times.
The flights have been ridiculously high to fly anywhere (Thanksgiving and all) and we managed to get a Delta flight to Mexico City then AeroMexico to Merida.

Last trip I flew into Cancun and caught the Platino Bus from Cancun across and it was awesome..but the flights were around $1000...can you believe that?
Anyway that will be my next post about the wonderful bus trip from Cancun...

See you all for Thanksgiving in Merida!
