How far from the beach is it? Is it located in Merida or on the outskirts? My husband and I would like to visit maybe in November, before the busy season of December. Thank you for any information you can give us!! Ellyne, Could you send me some info on your bed and breakfast. How far from the beach is it? Is it located in Merida or on the outskirts?

They adapt so quickly to a more relaxing version of life, that they often “scrap” whole days of their plans – opting to just “hang out”. On my first trip, I had one of those "see all of Yucatan in a week" schedules... didn't make it through the first day! ... 10 years later, I still haven't seen some of those places! "just hanging out" is a GOOD thing! :) Of course, if you live there, your garden - and the grocery store - and "life" takes over - and that's a "good thing" too... :) Re: [tourists] begin their vacation with every hour planned.

Basto is a common name in Merida, though you don't see it much in NY. You might have been the other one when we lived there! My husband's father was born in Panaba, a small town known for it's musicians. It's near a city called Tzimin. If your dad has any roots there, then they are related and you had a large family there though they are scattered now. I checked Martin in our phone book and there is a Gabriel Basto Martin, but that's probably a "fluke". Plan a visit and search. Regards and let us know about Panaba. Ellyne Dear Karen,
