I got here from Campeche on a comfortable 2 and a 1/2 hour bus drive. I hadn't realised Merida was so big - about 1 million inhabitants. I am staying at a comfortable hotel, The Flamingo. On my 1st day I walked around just enjoying the city centre. There is an imposing cathedral on the square, allegedly the 1st cathedral to be built in the Americas. I came across some fascinating and colourful jaguar sculptures outside an art museum. It is fun just being in the Zocalo and watching people enjoying themselves. There is a lot to see and i must go to the museum of Anthropology and walk along the beautiful Paseo Montejo.
