I've been about 80% excited by this new project in Mérida, but I hit the 20% this evening. All those thoughts about what the hell have I done, do I really want to settle somewhere, can I stand the heat in the spring, etc. etc. etc. So, thanks for the boost. I am happy about it and I think there are some incredible places available there. It's just jittery to make these big decisions. You have no idea how nice it is to read this.

Sounds like your rained out. I would be. Almost. I would be reading books all day. It actually is rainning here in PaaMul, but after the rain, it makes nice and gets nice and sunny. We (I) decided to postpone our Coba trip as I did not want to walk around in sloch from the rain. It gives chuck time to repair the toliet this way so it all works. We will see Jonna and MiMi later today. So, I guess we will see you all when we come back from Cozumel. Dee Hay there family!! Sounds like your rained out. I would be. Almost.

And the archaeological site at Uxmal is one of my absolute favorites (the kids would love the ballcourt, and the Adivino, one of the most unique pyramids in Mayaland.) I bought my dad a Panamanian straw hat in Merida - it's famous for them. Down this little alley, one of the best hatmakers can be found. I'll see if I can dig up the address - it's been 12 or 13 years. Of course, the history of Merida is pretty nasty - it was the colonial outpost from which the subjugation of the regional Maya took place - still has a rather pro-colonial reputation, at least among indigena.
