      I got the edge model with simultaneous translation in earbuds on Amazon Prime day. Price was 259. Could not pass it up at that price. Likely they will drop to under $200 with my luck.

    Another great video! We lived in Mérida for 6 months in 2022 and that’s when I discovered your channel ❤ It’s a magical place but yes very, very hot. But also incredibly safe and welcoming. We loved going to Progreso beach to cool down. Also, dinning on Paseo de Montejo is amazing. Really brought back some pleasant memories watching your video. Can’t wait to visit again. Keep up the excellent content.

      How are you? Thank you so much for your comment.
      Aww, that's so sweet, thank you so much. Yes, we love Merida and if it was not because of the weather we would move there. Progreso is lovely but even more when there are not cruise ships because it can get crowded 🤭🤭.
      Oh yes, Paseo de Montejo is so lovely and we love the are so much. We are so happy our video brought you back memories, it is actually so sweet to read.

      Progresso beach? Murky water water compared to playa del carmen. No bathrooms, no food options. Long industrial pier which is quite ugly. Don't waste your time at this "beach".

    Good for You for not waiting until you retire to travel the world.👍👍
    Only 48 hours in Merida?! 😢
    There is so much to experience in Merida.
    Although I endured 21 days where the daytime temperatures did not drop below 104°f (the evenings are more pleasant), I was able to experience La Nocha Blanco, and the recent presidential election. Mexico's federal election was held on a sunday, yet the entire weekend the sale of alcohol was prohibited. 😢
    I'm returning for more first hand research.
    Enjoy your travels!

    Breakfast is 11.5 US and you say its cheaper than the tourist spots? Yikes. You have missed some of the larger eating spots for locals, like plaza de Santiago. There another one north of the cathedral too. It amazes me how they can eat heaps of turkey and pork and onions at 7AM. My delicate stomach can't handle much more than cocco puffs at that hour of the day LOL. So far I have not seen that immense market southeast of the cathedral. I mean its so large it would take 2 days to see everything. As I recall they even have a second floor. You need to do a video just on that MEGA indoor/outdoor market. Mercado San Benito is the name.
