Tuesday, 22 February 2022: Mérida

Today was go, but only to Mérida to meet Bill.  We got rolling before 6am and were on the road by close to 11 am. Lots to do before we were actually rolling. 

A few quick photos of Santos' progress.  Final instructions to Abraham and Ivan. Hugs to Gemma. Yes, we left her. Maybe it was practice for Mexico City. 






 













First stop, Casa Fernandez to get materials for Ivan for the new kitchen. Then  a store to try to find talavera drawer pulls for our new bedside tables. Next, pick up Bill. We’d been talking about this for six months or more and we actually made it happen. Bill went to university in Mexico City and has returned each year as he continues to follow his anthropology and archaeology passion. We picked him up and first stop, a beverage. 

Then the bank. We needed to deposit money for Peter for operating expenses for the summer.  I ran in with the money and the card.  But I did not run out after a quick deposit.  The account in in Justin’s name and I was not allowed to make a deposit.  Since the bank had closed while I was in line, Justin couldn’t come inside.  Why didn’t we go first thing this morning?  About forty minutes later, I went back to the car with the cash.  Now I was ready for a beverage.  Aargh!

A friend of Bill’s met us for dinner.  At Justin’s suggestion we went to La Negrita.  Jesus was playing and we got to chat with him for just a moment.  What a treat!
