With grammar and dictionary close to hand, we are currently studying some Spanish such as Machado, Lorca, Don Q. Also interested in cinema. How might we go about finding and engaging a young Mexican student genuinely interested in these things, who might enjoy working a few times with us for an hour or so?

That is where Working Gringa got her (free) rabies shots, so perhaps they also have the sort of vaccinations you are looking for.

Do you know where in Merida we can get vaccinated for more exotic things like Yellow Fever and Typhoid? Thanks.

The Yucatan has been a center of learning for the entire peninsula for a couple hundred years, at least. (Long before the division into three separate states). It would be nice to see some of the new educational centers spun off to other larger cities in the State or region: Valladolid, Ticul, Motul, etc. There's a need in many locations, and students wouldn't have to bear the cost of housing and travel if they could attend closer to home. Plus, it would reduce the likelihood of Merida becoming overgrown with the rest of the state emptied out. Spreading out population, business, education would reduce travel energy consumption (maybe some at least) and definitely distribute the environmental impact wider, which would help it be more easily absorbed. Well, just another day-dream, hoping that the Merida government reads blogs too! ;-) It’s exciting to see the progress being made for higher learning for Merida.
