cemetery and other Merida excitement

Today I went to the general cemetery with the students and we looked at the various gravesites and such. It is part of their anthropology project. Note that this link is to a UF University Scholars project of a student who was on the study abroad a few years ago!

Before that I went to the mercado and looked at the crazy stuff that is there: fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, live birds, spices, chili sauces, candles, and so much more. I ate dinner at the Italian restaurant pane e vino and that was yummy as always. Tomorrow I am giving the lecture on Mexico´s government and politics. I learned that the governor-elect, Ivonne Ortega Pacheco, is 34 years old and she is the first elected female governor of Yucatan! She has big hair. It´s worth a search on Google images.
