You’ve probably been wondering what’s become of us. For those of you who might be worried that we’ve been kidnapped or that Tracy was stalking us and that we’ve fallen prey, we are fine. After all those days of getting up and moving on to the next Mayan ruins, we did plan in a day at lovely Hacienda Temozon less that 30 miles out of Merida. So yesterday all we did was have a late breakfast, drive out to Temozon and relax. It is VERY quiet here – like every place we’ve been but more so since we are out in the middle of nowhere. Only saw three other couples since we arrived. When it was a working ranch – back in the day – it covered about 6,600 hectares. Now it’s less than 40. But still pretty isolated.
After lunch (I actually took a chance on my first salad in too many days), we hung by the pool and even IN the pool for the afternoon. Dinner on the veranda overlooking the pool and then a restful night’s sleep in a luxurious bed. This morning after breakfast we are back sitting by the pool waiting to head back into Merida for another night.
The one thing that we were unaware of was that last night was the beginning of the Independence Day celebrations all over Mexico. (Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory over the French and is apparently a much bigger party in the US than in Mexico.) Last night in Merida there would have been fireworks and partying in the streets. And today there should be parades and more partying. We have no idea if we will have difficulties getting back to our hotel since it is only two blocks off of the main plaza. But for now, just more resting.
