I think I might be inclined to like Merida if I had seen more of it than my hotel, the two main streets, and downtown. Yesterday was a series of training, restaurant visits, potential restaurant site visits, and back to the hotel. I know the beach is nearby because I can see the ocean way off on the horizon. Maybe I'll get a glimpse of it from the airplane later today. No pictures and nothing of interest to report. Today's a travel day from Merida to Veracruz. You'd think you could fly non-stop but no, it has to be hard. We have to go to Mexico City to change planes to get to Veracruz. It's like flying from Denver to Phoenix via Los Angeles.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
Merida looks very green - almost tropical. Quite a contrast between the bright white buildings and green trees.
