Mexico Day 28 - Merida & Progreso Beach

We stopped for lunch in a small town where our friend Ivan grew up called Muna - there was a small locals chicken restaurant that was delicious, we were told its a mexican tradition to eat 'outside and with your hands' on a Sunday!

From here we were off to Progreso Beach which was a drive back past Merida and was a lovely little beach. Unfortunately not fully open right now but we still got to try some local beach sweets and relax by the sea as the sun came down.

Finally we drive down a famous road in Merida called 'paseo de montejo' which had a brilliant monument in the middle of a roundabout detailing various moments in Mexican history - it was a great final stop and a perfect day to showcase Mexican hospitality at its finest. We had both heard about peoples generosity and pride in their heritage but to join Daniel and Ivan for the day was a privilege and one of our best days so far!Read more
