I am from Merida Yucatan Mexico and I am going to take you on a tour, I'll start with the oldest church in north and south America, it is over 2000 years old made by the Mayan ruins which now make up the downtown city centre 6DD62C6E-5FAA-47A0-B74C-C7AA0389A800.JPG My great great grandparents are buried underneath that church and their marker is on the floor of the church. Next I'll show you a house downtown, they have 500 year old doors and when you go in them this is what you see.. A beautiful courtyard the rooms are on each side1F9FB255-712F-4772-9C46-28800EA37646.JPG The next two pictures are from the parks of the America's four different parks on each corner, I used to live across the street so I played there alot, this is the chacmol a Mayan God6B4F2F10-FDC7-49CD-9E34-CF97D3568F21.JPG and her I would climb and sit on top1C6DB4F1-6806-4DA2-A126-E85B6C6B38FD.JPG This next picture is in the middle of a round a bout in the most popular and most beautiful street in Merida650A1C96-E7B3-422E-97F6-EC606BAA0AB9.JPG This the the theatre Peon Lopez Contreras anyone can come for free and see plays concerts symphony its so much fun8E2B5B6B-1729-4D8B-99DE-7F83F19F75D1.JPG This next one is just a side street downtownIMG_2125.JPG Next we go across the street through the park to Montejo house he came from Spain he was a conquistador and founded the city and built his home there in the fifteen hundreds this is the door to his homeIMG_1934.JPG Are you hungry?
