Do you know of a manufacturer, or (even better) a local cooperative who I could buy these items from? I'm also looking for artisanal handicrafts, art, jewelry, etc. I'd be very interested. Thanx.

We are thinking of returning soon to look at real estate and also to look at purchasing a quantity of quality giftware wholesale to sell in Australia. We bought souvineers when we were there - a couple of Chiapas masks made out of semi-precious stones and tapestries and they are greatly admired here. Can anyone help with the name of wholesalers whom we can contact? My husband and I visited Merida in October and just love the place.

That's the stuff which is a MUST if you want to cook anything <em>pibil </em>style. As a matter of fact, most local recipies use <em>achiote</em>. By the way, my mother in law lives in a small village about 30 minutes from Merida and she still prepares her own <em>recado negro </em>y <em>achiote</em> paste as well as chocolate (to make hot chocolate). She also sells it to whoever is interested. So if anybody wants some typical mayan homemade goodies let me know and I get them for you.

We are coming from the UK in a week and will be staying over Christmas. I can't wait to sample all the local culture. Where are the best restaurants in Merida that will be open on Christmas Day? What kind of foods should we be sure to try - we are travelling with a vegetarian too! thanks! Thank you for all this wonderful information.
