Would anyone happen to know where to buy the Fresh Lobster Catch in Merida or nearby?

Support Yucatan – Buy Products. I support the economy of Yucatan, though I live in Texas. I send my esposa Ariadna $200.00 usd a month. I guess this gives her an extra $2,000.00 Pesos to put back into the economy. I encourage people to buy Yucateco products. Do more shopping at the local Mercados. Like San Benitos in Centro near the Museo. The new mercado built in 2005. Have the tourism offices direct tourist to the Mercados in Centro. If you live in Merida. Shop at the Mercados such as in Chuburna Hildalgo on calle 21 or in Colonia Aleman. Chose your favorite mercado.

Thank you for the beautiful videos of hippotherapy (Horse therapy)! I thought they were very well done. Although I could not understand all of the Spanish, I did think the therapists were doing a very good job. I have had the priviliege of coming to Merida twice this year to provide physical therapy technical support for Karigma, a longstanding charity in Merida, that has recently offered outpatient physical therapy for children with special needs on a sliding scale basis. Karigma also has the support of Dr. Joao Garcia, a pediatric neurologist several days each week to help with diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Joao has kept records since the new services began in October and 90% of the children brought to him previously had no diagnosis or explaination for their disability. I would like to encourage expats to support the center in this new endeavor as they seek to meet the needs of young children with disabilties.

Thanks and regards, Geoff
