Come on and join us for breakfast in Mérida!

Todd from the blog Life in El Corazon, asked some other bloggers in México to take their readers out to breakfast. I was going to do one from Akumal but we were leaving. We gave our friend Kelly a ride over to Mérida. She works in reservations on the Riviera Maya and they represent a house in Mérida and she wanted to see it.

We arrived at the RV park a little before 11pm, unhooked the jeep and plugged in the RV and started out to take Kelly to her house in the Centro. They had locked the gate during the 15 or so minutes we were inside so I couldn't get out with the jeep! No one would answer the door at the manager's house and we couldn't find a cab at that hour. I was furious but... what can you do? The next morning I got a key for the gate so it won't happen again. So, Kelly spent her first night on our couch in the RV!

In the morning we took off for breakfast but first, we had to stop at the house she was staying in, meet the property manager and get the key.

That's Kelly and the property manager Sam.

Mimi stayed in the jeep because of her bad foot and by the time Kelly and I came back she was getting impatient, or hungry or both.



I like the breakfasts at Café La Habana but we eat there a lot.



Kelly had heard that the cafe in front of the restaurant Pórtico del Peregrino was good so we decided to try it.



A table in the window is always good for people watching.





Oops! I almost forgot to take a picture of the food. We had already started in on it when I remembered. We each got a special, which included a glass of fresh orange juice and coffee with your entre. I had Huevos Rancheros as did Kelly and Mimi had eggs over easy. Our total bill was $120 pesos so about $40 pesos for each meal.



Oh, I also had the jeep washed while it was at the parking lot around the corner. The charge was $50 pesos, so Todd's $30 peso car wash was cheaper up in Patzcuaro.

The Yucatan makes the finest hammocks in México and Kelly wanted a hammock chair to take back to her house in Florida. So, off we went to Hamaca de Aguacate, a hammock factory.



There are many choices of style, quality, colors, material, etc. Luckily, Kelly knew pretty much what she wanted so the selection was fast.



Just a matter of test driving a couple and a little bargaining and she had a good quality hammock chair with a tight weave and small nylon thread for outdoors - for only $200 pesos.

We went over to see our house after that, I'm going to put those pics up separately. Hope you enjoyed breakfast in Mérida.
