Hope you are doing well my dear!CancunCanuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-69077950992536164402009-01-30T11:31:00.000-06:002009-01-30T11:31:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing another slice of Mexico with us.

So glad you got such a great visit with the parents. I have a feeling you may be moving soon, lol!<BR/>-hHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514052101554459730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-54198206503018133292009-01-28T15:14:00.000-06:002009-01-28T15:14:00.000-06:00Holly- It was lovely, thank you. Would have been a whole lot more hectic if Max wasn't sick, but we had a good time regardless. :)<BR/><BR/>K.W.- I had to sneak in a beach pic for you of course! If we didn't have old folks and a young kid in the car,we would have taken the long way for sure. We may do it one day with Max if we've got an extra day or two, lol!<BR/><BR/>Theresa- Ouch, sorry to hear about your bad experience at Pan E Vino, we really enjoyed it and all had something different. I did find the service lacking, but the food was good (maybe we caught them on a good night?) I would LOVE to have the Theresa Special Walking Tour, that sounds fantastic! Next time for sure.<BR/><BR/>Michele- My folks loved it, it was the highlight of their trip this year. Progreso was definitely better than I expected (though still not our beautiful Caribbean). :) Glad to hear you are busy, that's a good thing after such a low season!<BR/><BR/>amyinbc- It really is a beautiful place, maybe I'll share some more photos that didn't fit my rather long post, haha. But hey, BC has it's wealth of gorgeous places too, lucky lady!<BR/><BR/>Kelly- How great to see you here!! (Wouldn't you like to be a Kelly too?) Thanks for the vote. I stopped into your blog and was so happy to read your bio, everything you said could have been written by me, is it something in the Essex County air or is it just our name? :)<BR/><BR/>Gaelyn- Hola! Glad you enjoyed the post. Merida is so incredibly clean, I actually took quite a few pictures of the sparkling garbage cans, teehee.<BR/><BR/>Jonna- I pulled out the cel phone to call you guys so many times and put it away when Max started crying. I was sooo hoping to catch up with you and have you meet my folks (and sneak a peek at your house!) With Max being ill, it wouldn't have been a pleasant meet anyway, next time my lovely amiga, next time! I haven't heard about the "Canadian Riviera", will certainly investigate that! Greetings and hugs to Miss Mimi and the furbabies!<BR/><BR/>Working Gringa- I had the gnocchi which can be easy to mess up but they did a nice job (in a 4 cheese sauce, drool drool). It was the convenience that brought us in there for sure. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!CancunCanuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-58254043280991687782009-01-28T12:34:00.000-06:002009-01-28T12:34:00.000-06:00We used to eat at Pan e Vino a lot a few years ago... haven't been in awhile. The only thing we really liked there, though, was the fresh homemade pasta. It's worth the trip... nothing else is that special. And of course, it's close to the zocalo, which makes it convenient. We've never gotten sick there, and we've eaten there at least thirty times...Working Gringahttp://www.yucatanliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-48007478838524298272009-01-28T11:13:00.000-06:002009-01-28T11:13:00.000-06:00I forgive you for not having time to meet up with Max sick and so much to do. You did a good job of dealing with all that. It would be wonderful for your parents to live over here so close to the nieto and if all of you came over, wheeeee!! <BR/><BR/>Living over here would be good for Max to work on the other half of his heritage. They call the beaches west of Progreso 'the Canadian Riviera' and they not only have an ice skating rink in the Liverpool mall, they teach Hockey!!Jonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-49937742535744731462009-01-27T23:10:00.000-06:002009-01-27T23:10:00.000-06:00I really enjoyed your tour of Progreso and Merida. I visited there about 15 years ago and so liked it. Merida is incredibly clean and the beach at Progreso was quiet and almost empty except for the military workouts every morning. Great post and captures.Gaelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-35401157012830026662009-01-27T20:31:00.000-06:002009-01-27T20:31:00.000-06:00Hey Kell.

We are LONG overdue for a trip to Merida. I wish we could make it over in time for the Picasso exhibit, but we are swamped with clients now. Thanks for the picture of Progresso. It is much prettier than I has imagined.Michele in Playahttp://www.buyplaya.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-6551052574421155852009-01-27T14:59:00.000-06:002009-01-27T14:59:00.000-06:00You should check out the beach closer to Telchac Puerto, prettier water than Progreso, though I like Progreso.<BR/>I read recently that Mérida is up to a million and half people as of the last census! I have no idea where they are stacking up all those people!<BR/>Hee hee, you need to go to the Galería Mall next to Liverpool, they have an ICE skating rink! Fun to watch.<BR/>Max probably got sick at Pan e Vino, we went once, the olive oil was rancid, we got an argument that it wasn't but they finally took it away, tasted it and replaced it with some BS story. But we all lost our appetites when Son found glass in his food. So we just asked for the check and showed them the glass. The manager came out and magnanimously told us that we didn't need to pay since none of us had taken more than a few bites. I am all for giving a place a second chance but somehow I can't bring myself to do it.<BR/>Let's make some plans for your next visit. I'll take you on a walking tour!<BR/>regards,<BR/>TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-49563583148022663622009-01-27T14:09:00.000-06:002009-01-27T14:09:00.000-06:00Sounds like you all had a great time(except for poor Max). We like to take the LONG way back to Cancun. The little villages can be very interesting ....!!!! Thanks for the beach pic!K.W.
