We met a couple from Germany (Helge and Ana) at our AirBnB in Valladolid. As it would happen, they were moving on to Valladolid on Monday - the same day as us. When we parted ways they said ‘maybe we’ll see you in Mérida’, which I thought was unlikely in a city of 1.2M. Well, oddly enough, when we went for a walk this morning, who did we run into but the German couple. They told us they were heading to a free walking tour of the city… in English. So we abandoned our original plan and went on the walking tour. It was more of a stop and listen tour than a walking tour but it was really informative and added some things to our must-do list. Our tour guide, Fernando from Tijuana, was awesome.
After the tour we grabbed some gorditas from Gorditas Doña Gorda for lunch. Unfortunately I must say that I don’t like them as much as the deep fried ones we had in Querétaro. I think I’ll wait to have any more gorditas until we get there in January. |

| This evening we walked around Merida which is very festive - much of the city is decorated. Then we enjoyed the free musical performance at the cultural center which happens every Tuesday evening. |
