Today we went on another walking tour of Mérida, put on by the tourist office. It was really interesting and thankfully we learned a lot of stuff we didn’t get on the first one. \n\n

After the tour we visited the gallery in the \nPalacio del Gobierno del Estado de Yucatán.


This evening we walked down to the Noreste station to scout a bus for Mayapán for tomorrow. Then we had fancy dinner at the only rooftop restaurant in town: Picheta. The Iglesia de San Cristobal was very festive with flags on it. Then we headed to Santa Lucía Park for the Thursday night music and dance performance.
