The problem will be finding time to write about it -- and to do it justice.<br /><br />Calypso -- Wish you were here. Your experience with intellectual property would help. I am on deck in about an hour. So far, the GPS is really handy in town. But it does not have a lot of secondary roads in rural areas.<br /><br />Teresa -- I am glad to hear I am not the only person to suffer spatial dislocation. But I understand the urge to slip into Italian. Have done it myself.<br /><br />ANM -- The toll road lacks the adventure of the free road to Meroda. But even it has greatly improved. Of course, I realize you were here with Cortés.

But I made part of it in a bus that played chicken with oil tankers in the other lane. Very narrow road if I recall correctly.<br /><br />Check out the murals in the governor's building. They are magnificent pieces.<br /><br />Also, if you have time, see if the Grand Hotel is still operating. It is an Edwardian period piece with a wonderful atrium and renaissance staircase.<br /><br />And what are you giving a talk about? The thin line between dream-state and operating on full bonkers?<br /><br />anmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-906856342970330332010-11-13T09:25:08.270-06:002010-11-13T09:25:08.270-06:00your comment about the hotel reminding you of veni...your comment about the hotel reminding you of venice brought back memories. when i was in guadalajara a few years ago, i felt like i was in italy, to the point where one morning i almost started speaking italian to some of the people that work there. <br /><br />can't wait to see your pictures of this trip! did you say hi to wayne for me?<br /><br />enjoy the rest of the weekend. <br /><br />teresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-22575763324242554042010-11-13T07:23:13.288-06:002010-11-13T07:23:13.288-06:00You are giving a talk? - now that I see they would...You are giving a talk? - now that I see they would let just anyone get up and pontificate - I wish I had gone.<br /><br />But seriously - have fun amigo. <br /><br />Would like to hear about your new GPS gizmo - probably have a good report after the sojourn and the move about down there.Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-54205003749747747772010-11-13T07:04:59.314-06:002010-11-13T07:04:59.314-06:00Can not wait to hear all your observations of this...Can not wait to hear all your observations of this area of Mexico, we have had property there for 2 years and love it so much! Soon to be down there more than just a few weeks at a time. Having made the drive through the jungle many times I laughed at your comments. Yes, there is not much to see. How fun to meet fellow bloggers, I love the blogs about this area and read them every day. Enjoy your time in the Yucatan.Karennoreply@blogger.com
