Comments on: House of the Butterflies http://www.yucatanliving.com/destinations/house-of-the-butterflies.htm Online magazine about living, working and traveling in Merida and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

Just the idea that someone has invested all this love and caring in a project such as this is another beautiful discovery about Yucatan. For years, I have been exploring Mexico, then Central and South America, looking for a peaceful place for our retirement. I deliberately ignored the Yucatan because I had this idea that it was totally commercialized. But thanks to your website and several others, I can now see the heart and soul of the area. Thank you, thank you. If I were looking for more reasons to like the Yucatan (which I am not since I’m already “hooked”) this would be at the top of the list.

Un lugar paradisíaco para recuperar la paz y semtirse a gusto con la contemplación del entorno. Las plantas son una maravilla y las mariposas una perfección de colores. Me sentí muy complacida en aquel jardin y mariposario.Un ejemplo de respeto por la Naturaleza. La casa de las mariposas me gustó mucho.

Here's our suggestion: Go to Izamal and stay overnight at Hotel Macanche (www.macanche.com). Say "hola" to our friends, the owners, Alfred and Emily. Ask them to arrange a <em>calesa</em> ride for you for the next day. Set out early and ask the driver (or ask the hotel to tell the driver) to take you to visit the houses of the artisans in Izamal, and to be sure to include the wood carver. This is a government-sponsored program, so they will know what you are talking about. Honestly, we can’t give you an idea about how to find him… but you won’t need it.

We are planning a trip there next weekend. Can you please give us a better idea how to find him. Will any local know who he is and where he is located? Any info would be appreciated, thanks, Stephanie Working Gringos,
