Progreso, Mexico is the port closest to Chichen Itza and other ruins. Marc and I have been there and remember that as the hottest day of our lives. So we opted to take a tour into the capital city of Merida. It was about a 45 minute ride, and it had a beautiful city center. Our tour took us around some of the buildings, and then we enjoyed a "local" lunch before heading back.
This cathedral was one of the oldest in the Americas. The inside wasn't as elaborate as the cathedrals we had been in before, but it was still large and impressive. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures from the inside. Mass was actually going on at the time, and we didn't want to disturb everyone.
Inside the government palace.
Someone was excited to finally get a coke on her vacation.
The market was full of many beautiful items. These rugs were stunning in their vibrant colors.
This is what the bus ride back to Progreso looked like.
It was a hot, and adventure filled day in Mexico, but we were excited to be back in our air-conditioned room.
