Bindi's is a couple years old.<br /><br />I appreciate your and Theresa's compliment about my attitude but I truly don't see anything remarkable about it. I love Yucatan and the Mayans and I view our new life here as one big adventure.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736132484129220698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-33145378640426958262012-11-15T16:19:00.179-07:002012-11-15T16:19:00.179-07:00Every time I go to Merida, (I'm live in Austin...Every time I go to Merida, (I'm live in Austin but have a house there) I always buy a new map of Merida at Sanborn's there on the corner of Paseo Montejo down from Starbucks. Generally, you can get an updated one once a year and you're okay with all the new Fracs they are adding constantly. Fortunately the colonias are older than dirt and don't change. I like your attitude too. Pretty gutsy for a couple of gringas to accept a ride from a local, but sometimes you have to go with your gut. Honestly, I've walked over a mile and a half along a busy street and never got passed by a bus, combi, or taxi. It was hot mad and thirsty. But that's part of the charm of Merida.Jack W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10275039266859203449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-29567971205793966302012-11-14T13:13:19.482-07:002012-11-14T13:13:19.482-07:00Thanks, Theresa.

I was pretty sure that Villas la H was its own colonia or Frac, but Bindi couldn't find it on her map so she thought perhaps it was the name of a shopping area and that it was in Centro.<br /><br />All's well that ends well. The big joke for the rest of the day was about the cute young guy we picked up...lol.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736132484129220698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553308714264267273.post-58457786111270422212012-11-14T09:10:52.091-07:002012-11-14T09:10:52.091-07:00You always have to check the colonia or fraccionam...You always have to check the colonia or fraccionamientos on an address because street names repeat in the suburbs and sub-divisions. It can get very confusing, especially if the street changes names or has several.<br /> <br />Villas Haciendas is off Prolongación de Paseo Montejo. Where the 7/11 is south of Home Depot. The cross street is Camera Comercio. <br /><br />It sounds like it all turned out well and you had an adventure. I like your attitude.<br /><br />regards,<br />TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.com
