The legend says if we are troubled with something we shoulc tell our troubles to a Maya Worry Doll. Then place the doll under our pillow and have a good night sleep. The following morning our troubles are gone. Here they are...some of these ladies

I thought that these dolls would be around all year long here in Merida...every time I come here (sometime between Easter and the end of August)I buy loads of them to distribute to my troubled friends. So, I was amazed to find out that there aren't any at this time of the year. These Dolls are a seasonal item that only show up during Easter, Summer, around Dia de Los Muertos and then before Christmas.

Why am I doing this?
It just occurred to me that it would be probably useful if I started sharing some information about how to get around in Merida.
In fact, I have been a regular visitor since 2005 and Yucatan is now the 4th place in the world where I have spent more time.
Thus, this blog, which is linked to my main research blog BEMICELU, aims to compile useful information about the beautiful town of Mérida and its surroundings.
