If you would'nt mine I would love a copy of your itinerary. I was in travel for 20 years and saw a lot of Mexico. I have never spend anytime in that part of the Yucatan. Cancun/Cozumel. I'm planning a trip to Mexico and this maybe the right place. Thank you, Bobbie Hi Martha,

We just returned from Puerto y Nuevo Vallarta in Jalisco. I desperately looked for a market but only came across a really really small one...I bought tamarind and lots of poblano peppers (which I successfully smuggled back to the US!) and some esteemed vanilla too! And I fully agree: the only way to get to know another culture and people is to visit the places they maintain and visit. IT iS PRICELESS! quite interesting. i go to mexico once a year with my family and have yet to make it to Yucatan. We just returned from Puerto y Nuevo Vallarta in Jalisco.

We uderstand you did some filming at several locations in Valladolid, which we were very pleased to hear about and will look forward to watching for on your TV show. Next time you are in Valladolid, we would enjoy the opportunity for you and your production crew to visit our home CASA DE LOS VENADOS (house of the deer) which has been just short of 8 years in remodeling and is now almost complete. We are but one of a number of American ex-pats who have "discovered" Valladolid. A potentially interesting show for you to consider would be to visit and interview several of the ex-pats not living in Valladolid. Our home will eventually be turned over to a not-for-profit foundaiton and used as an arts center, with our extensive collection of folk art (over 3,000 pieces) as its core collection. You and your viewers can visit our website and see the photos of "BEFORE, DURING and now almost AFTER" on the photo album of the website at www.casadelosvenados.com You can also read about our home on the www.yucatanliving.com website in their recent article: "Valladolid - Sultana of the East". Sincerely, John and Dorianne Venator Martha:

Merida is located in the state of Yucatan, which is in the Yucatan Peninsula. Most people have heard of Cancun but don’t know that Merida is a scenic 4 hr drive away. The famous Mayan ruins of Chitzen Itza are along the way as well as numerous other interesting attractions. Merida also has an airport and flying into Merida directly is possible with certain airlines. If you are planning on flying into Cancun and taking the bus to Merida then you will probably have to spend the night in Cancun, depending on how late your flight arrives in Cancun. From the Cancun City main bus terminal you can take the 1st class bus [recommended] but there are other bus stations for 2nd and 3rd class busses with different schedules.
