Day & Night in Merida

We didn't really like Cancun all that much so we took any opportunity to get out and explore places elsewhere. Merida was one of these escapes. Merida is a Spanish colonial town located inland about three hours away from Cancun and one hour past Chichen Itza. It was a small town alive with crazy drivers everywhere and people sitting around in the squares just enjoying the evening. We both really enjoyed this town as in comparison with Cancun or any of the coastal areas it didn't have hardly any tourists and the people there were so so sweet and very helpful. I was the lightest person there and Chris the tallest. Most of the Mayan people there reached to my shoulders or so, I felt like a giant. We spend a day and night there before we headed out to Chichen Itza.
