I really enjoy all your comments and point of view as an American. I live currently in Southern Calif. but originally I was born in Mexico City. Even thought, OC is the please to be for many people and the weather is great on this part of the country I still miss so much my roots and history and I can’t wait to retire in Merida. Thank you for all the information, it is very interesting and very well done this is a great website. Any time I surf in it I get transported to Mexico and make me dream about all this fantastic places located in the Yucatan Peninsula. Greetings, M.

Mayber it's a tradition (Santa Lunes) with the "humble" class of Merida. But certainly not the middle class and the upper crust. Many restaurants, museums and shoe repair shops are also closed in the New York Metro area. I’m very, very familiar with the traditions of Meridians.

All with almuerzo(lunch like), showering to beat the over 95 degree or more temperatures, then go back to a cooler evening for work. I'm agreeing with Khaki, that we can not take Yucatecan people apart from their cultural identity. As you “Yucagringos” well know, the intense heat in the afternoon give us a routine to the siesta.

What are people in such a hurry for? There is no place any of us has to be that is so important that we should give up a well ordered, healthy lifestyle. Miguel, the "habits" of the Yucatecan people are part of their cultural identiy. There is nothing wrong with such things as siesta, and very well may be everything right about it (from a wellness point of view). Never - ever - change who you are, or what you do, as a people, simply to impress "foreigners." Did it ever occur to you that those same foreigners may be jealous of your way of life? I hope we never lose such things as siesta because the alternative is the "Rat Race." We all know the end of that story - and there is nothing nice about it.
