Eight days left. This is surreal, I can't believe that I will be snapping into winter mode on February 13. I am thrilled about the adventure we had, and thrilled about going home and seeing my friends, but I am NOT looking forward to he cold. I admit that winter is a big nuisance to me. I can do fall and spring, but winter is something I would avoid. Fly away with the birds every year, that would be fantastic! Julie and the geese! Big sigh.
I will buy an extra bag and attempt to pack everything within the weight allowance. Quite a challenge, but I am determined. And I almost bought an Irish Harp... imagine that... if I followed my impulses I would come home with a couple of piñatas too !!!
Jeanne-Marie and family came for a quick tour of downtown Merida today. I took them to the market, through the historic centre of town, and we went for a nice little restaurant to sample some regional food. It was very nice. They are probably in Cancun by now, their flight back to Toronto leaves at 6am tomorrow (ouch!!!).
Going to see an outdoor concert tonight - Noche Mexicana. It's a series of concerts aiming at bringing other regions of Mexico to Merida. Not sure where the band is from tonight, we shall see. There is also a poetry reading just around the corner in a small cafe. The Yucatan Symphony is playing a daytime concert tomorrow as well, I really want to go - Tim and Dylan have their tickets, and I think I convinced Leo to be my date : ) There is always so much to see and do here, it's a good taste of urban life and quite a change from the past three months. Merida Blanca - 469 years old!
Time to make dinner, Saludos!
