Before we arived in Merida, we had spend about 4 months in Granada...and I gotta be real - we were L A Z Y there. Lazy might not be the right word, we were busy - we had decided to start cracking down and releasing videos, and we did. But that meant a lot of long editing hours and lots of time with our butts sitting in chairs.
So two things happened - one, we started releasing videos (finally) and two - we started seeing ourselves on screen. Thus... we collectively decided it was time for some physical activity! We found a gym - and I have to say I was thrilled with our dedicaton, we went 5 times the first week and 3 or 4 the next week - and then....NYC happened and we havent been back. I am going to be super honest and let you know - that as of today - which happens to be Thanksgiving - we haven't done anything since those two weeks BUT we are committed to starting again. We arrived in Playa del Carmen jsut a few days ago and we are outting together our plan. Between walking on the beach, yoga at home, and finding a gym where we can get some weight training in - I am hoping we can do SOMETHING every day.
Merida is known as one of the safest cities in the world, and we feel that is deserved. There is a lightness in the air here that is palpable. When you aren't looking over your shoulder in fear, I think you do have more pep in your step, more joy in day to day activities. It feels as if more people look you in the eye here, smile, engage in conversation. Maybe it's all in my mind, maybe we believe what we are told. Who knows.
We liked Merida overall, but in truth, I don't think that we saw enough of it. I feel like we barely scratched the surface. I think if you are a person considering a long stay in Mexico to 'try it out' before moving, this would be a good city to do so. You have a mixed bag of everything that is good about Mexico, with a bonus of being 30 minutes from gorgeous beaches.
Gotta go!
ADVENTURE AWAITS!
