Yucatan Travels

We  just returned from a short 5 day trip to the Yucatan. As usual it was an adventure  and we took many, many photos. Way too many stories and photos to include in one post.

As we did last year, we took the ferry to Playa del Carman and then an ADO first class bus (no stops with a bathroom and movies on board) to Merida. We used Merida as our base and took day trips to Celestun and Uxmal. We spent our last night at Izamal.

We left Cozumel to try and avoid the constant boom-boom-boom and sirens of non-stop Carnaval parade music. It didn’t dawn on us that Merida, a city of over a million people, would have a much larger Carnaval!  Thankfully, our hotel, being some blocks away from the parade route, was much quieter than our house in Cozumel. So, in that regard, we were successful!

OK. On with the show!
