Note to Tom Walton: As with any large city, caution should be used. My wife, a native of Merida, would not walk at night alone in some areas of Merida. i.e. South of the Periferico. Even in her Colonia to the north, where it is relative safe, the Chuburna area. She rushes home after getting off the bus from work at night. Merida is safe compared to my city of Fort Worth & Dallas Texas. You still have to use good common sense. There is a Chuburna town near the beach. The Colonia Chuburna is west of calle 60 or Tecnologia. The main calle being calle 21 runs through it.

We're fortunate that we found Yucatan Living. Having made trips to the Mayan Riviera from the frozen wasteland of Canada has made our decision to move to the Yucatan definite. We believe that the Progresso area offers exactly what we are looking for and are continually searching out more information. The markets, scenery, the people and especially the weather are all that we want. It was interesting to read that in Merida, a woman can walk the streets alone, at night and not be bothered. Here in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; the odds are that you would be robbed and probably beaten and stabbed. We look forward to every new e-mail from you. As we plan to drive down, hopefully we will be showing our FM-3's at Matamoros within the year!

Wow! That old Train station looks great! I remember when it was being worked on. Passed by it on the buses a dozen times. Wished I could have seen it when I was there in January. I took at least a hundred fotos all over Merida. I go over them every week, going down memory lane when I was there. I didn’t take any of the Train Station though. I did take fotos of the old Correos building as it was going through remodeling. I have fotos of the Monumento de la Bandera, Stadium Ku Kul Khan, and many of the Plaza Grande area. My best to everyone in Merida.

I read with “sumo interes” the yucatanliving lifestyle narratives you so vividly describe. We are looking forward to the date in the very near future when we finally will move to the Yucatan. Our youngest son is graduating from high school this month and plans to move on to the University of Wisconsin….brrrrr just to darn cold for us!!- We are looking at areas by the sea shore not far from Merida…. Thanks for whatever additional info you may be able to provide!!
