Another day.. another ancient city and another modern one… I’m now in Merida… an old colonial town which seems to have kept up activity over time… so it’s a mixture of the old and the new… it’s both quiet and bustling at the same time… The place I’m staying is an old colonial mansion converted into a hotel by a Mexican artist… and there’s a couple rooms with dorm beds… where I’m staying… for $6… and the place is beautiful… with quirky decorations (quirky artist owner) and a rooftop sundeck with jacuzzi, stereo, and minifridge.. woohoo! I spent like 45 minutes soaking as the sun set just before I came to use the internet… que rico…

On my way here I stopped at Chichèn Itzà… which was beautiful… if crowded… some pictures of that, along with a couple more from Playa del Carmen follow…
