We started the day with a nice walk to the Momoto Cafe. A "momoto" is a type of bird, what we call a Motmot in English, and the logo:
is an abstraction of the bird. They also had floor tiles made with the logo. Nice place to start the day.
The part of Merida where we were staying had plenty of these nice, big mansions. We are hoping that Gaye buys the one above and renovates it for a nice vacation home.
As with many large, old Latin American cities, Merida has a nice selection of churches and cathedrals. They are all still in use, well in use. Many of them had masses in process as we were wandering about the city.
Many nice plazas are in the neighborhood as well. This one was taken while we had lunch outside.
The green building is the Governor's Mansion. I have more photos of that I will post by and by.
The above is the Cathedral.
And this is a pretty typical gallery of one of the buildings on the Plaza Grade.
It is a nice city.
