FIRST STOP: MERIDA

by strinella @ 07/04/08 - 21:45:16

The first stop of my journey: Merida. 4h30 hours from Playa del Carmen, 286 pesos, pretty straight forward in a fridge-like-coach operated by ADO.
No big deal, spent the journey chatting to a random Mex woman, who was praying God to keep us same from the bandits...

Reached Merida and the temperature is still very vey hot and very very humid.

Things that I have learned:
- TAMAL -local crepe made of polenta base and a tiny chicken ghost
- AMACASUTRA - local acrobatial sex made in an amaca (hammock)
- MEXICAN HAT - I finally bought one and it really goes well with my glasses (130 pesos in Playa - bargain)
- CHIAPAS -apparently very very dangerous place where I might get raped (according to shop keeper in Playa del Carmen), stabbed to death for 2 pesos (according to ramdom lady on the bus), robbed of all my belongings (according to cowboy hat seller in Playa)... mmm ... sounds a very interesting place.

I'll also see if I can get into the Zapatista army and fight with them :))

Good luck to me

Tomorrow Uxmal, probably. Then Campeche. ANDALEEEEE
