Sunday, 14 November 2021: Merida


Yesterday and today were simply a shopping extravaganza.  This is the season of Buen Fin...literally translated as Good End.  It is Black Friday meets Revolution Day.  We were up and out early to buy loveseats for the sala, kayaks and a stove for the guest kitchen.

Back “home” to drop off Gemma before we were on to Boston’s for the game.  (We’ve been at our little hotel 14 nights of the last month so I guess I can call it home.). The game didn’t start until 3:30 but we were hungry and ready to take a moment to breathe.

Today was my day to learn names. Andy is the motorcycle guy from Madison. He ridden his bike to Peru and back on a previous trip. This time he’s stopped for a while in the Yucatán .  Noel is the Bears fan who is living in Merida with his family.  Brian Bachman is our new friend from a near-by  international school. He’s an avid Packers fan.  Nayeli is Brian’s girlfriend.  Juan is our favorite waiter at Boston’s.  They say the most beautiful sound is the sound of your own name.  I’m trying to learn.

Rudolpho let us know the group was meeting at LaChata this week. We stopped by there yesterday for tacos and to check out the screens.  The owner is apparently a huge Packers fan but we decided to head back to our favorite football haunt, Boston’s.  Justin had a bit of an upset stomach in the night so Boston’s was just fine for me... I’m just not a risk taker.  

We all headed to La Negrita after the game.  We'd hoped to see Jesus but it was Elina's gig tonight.  The music was great but I did miss the melody from Jesus' horn.  

   














First snow in Green Bay.  I am not sorry to miss it.
