Yucatan

Hi friends,
As you can see in the tittle, we have no expanded our blog to Yucatan state, which is our neighbor. Merida is the capital city, with close to 1 million inhabitants and about 2 million in all the state. Due to its location, Merida has become the economic heart of the Peninsula, Progreso Port which is 20 minutes from the city serves as the spot where supplies and merchandise arrive to, or are sent from, the peninsula. Yucatan's highest pride is Chichenitza, which was named one of the 7 modern wonders of the world. There are so many things to see and visit, that we thought it would be a great idea to introduce our neighbor state to you.

Merida is about 2-2 1/2 hour drive from Campeche. Buses leave every half hour all day long, so it is convenient. You can always go and spend a day or so to Merida.

Until next time, I leave you with a picture of one of the 7 modern wonders of the world.


Your friend

Saul
