P.S. Sorry I can not adopt a Child in Cholul. I’ve already adopted my 3 girls in Merida. I wish I could help every child.

God Bless the extranjeros for the gifts they brought to the children of Yucatan. I have sent a few boxes to my 3 sobrinas in Merida. Karla (18), Valentina (14), and Victoria (11). Ariadna, my wife, said the girls were thrilled to get the school supplies and other gifts I sent from Texas. Again, god bless WG and the others. You are The UNICEF of Yucatan.

Congratulations to New Orleans and Merida on their Sister City relationship. Asheville, North Carolina, is a Sister City to Valladolid, Yucatan, as well as to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas. Merida has played a significant role in Asheville’s Sister Cities interactions. Delegates fly into and out of Merida, often want to see the sights of Merida, and, of course, our Valladolid friends go to Merida for their visa applications. A few of our more stalwart members (including Kathie and myself) drive to Valladolid yearly, often passing by New Orleans and Merida on the way. The above point to the need for our respective organizations to keep in touch. Feel free to contact me at

So….. “How tall is it?”

LOL..Yes there is a prize…Calle 60 is one more corner I no longer have to worry about when driving into town on calle 29!!!

Just my humble opinion..but a tope just before every Alto sign might prevent many accidents.

Topes are a pain but they sure slow things down wherever they appear.
