miercoles in merida

so today I lectured in class and then went to lunch at Hacienda Teya with Carlos, Allan, and Alicia. This is from their website:

The Hacienda “San Ildefonso Teya was founded in the year 1863. Raised in the Colonial times, devoted for two centuries to cattle ranching, corn and other agricultural work, until the XIX century, when they oriented it’s work to Henequen.

This is the place where my cookbook of yucatecan cooking comes from. I had the queso relleno and the flan de casa. The photos on the right are of the queso relleno (on top) and the flan (bottom). Yum.

I also met with the students today and have now spent too much time in the internet cafe. Tomorrow I am going on a field trip to Uxmal and Ticul and will be back in Merida on Saturday, to leave early Sunday to come back to Florida. Alas. Back to reality!
